With some home repair-and-fixup work going on, I'm working in the attic for a few jobs lately. I'm trying to avoid sunny days and the associated temperature extremes.

Was up there for an hour or two this morning, and moved a #Zigbee temp/humidity sensor up. Don't know why I didn't think of that earlier.

#HomeAssistant tells me it's currently 38C now, so I'm glad I haven't been up this afternoon.

Stellt sich heraus. Selbst wenn mensch nur das billige china tuya smartzeugs nimmt, in der zigbee variante..

Und damit eine haustürklingel abbilden will.

Geht sogar _DAS_ out of the box mit fertigteilen von ali... ;)

Benötigt:

Zigbee Gateway (läuft eigenständig - ich hab 'n multimode gw - kost nur 8€ oder so mehr)
Tuya smart app mit china cloud (leider).
Tuya Zigbee Smart Scene button.
Tuya Zigbee Siren.

Und wegen der funkdämpfung und strecke im haus, noch einen zigbee repeater halt.

Das ganze läuft im 868mhz bereich und is daher deutlich durchdringender als wlan bei 2,4 oder 5+ ghz... yay ;)

Next step, home assistant server frickeln und mittels tuya convert die ganzen teile gen home assistant updaten.

Das kann noch was werden.

Aber immerhin, ein wichtiger teil der gewünschten funktionalität ist als POC schonmal implementiert. ;)

I'm using my international radio on my Home Assistant Yellow for Thread so I added a Sonoff ZigBee dongle. I really hate large USB dongles hanging out the back of things, so I took the opportunity to finally learn FreeCAD and design a new top shell that could house that dongle internally. A few painful hours of trial and error, one U-Shaped USB extension, and one short antenna extension later and it's looking much cleaner! It is a shame I don't have a resin printer or know how to use one, because it would have been nice to keep the translucent plastic aesthetic. (an atomic purple shell would be so rad!) But I'm really happy with it overall.

New black plastic top shell with an antenna sticking out the back installed on the Home Assistant Yellow sitting next to the original translucent clear plastic top shell.

Made some important and much belated progress getting my new (replacement) Home Assistant installation up and running this afternoon.

The Pi 5 with boot from NVMe has been set up for a while. Today I have:

- Installed Mosquitto on the host.
- Configured separate client credentials for Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant.
- Installed Zigbee2MQTT under Docker and got it talking to Mosquitto.
- Installed Home Assistant under Docker and got it talking to Mosquitto.

Then to verify everything I added four Tradfri Zigbee network routers to the system and they showed up straight away on Home Assistant 😬

This is the breakthrough I needed to make, to be able to decommission the old service.

Replaced old 1950s receptacle w new one. Added clamp-on current sensors out to a #Zigbee unit in a separate (plastic) box to contact #HomeAssistant.

Broke the tab off to split the receptacle and applied sensors to track dehumidifier and sump pump separately.

Needed a sensor flip to fix current dir, but it works nicely now. I get an email if the pump comes on!

Only in the house 6mo or so, and don't think the sump pump has run yet. We'll see how spring goes – probably the riskiest period.

This is the little 2channel #zigbee monitor I'm using. Looks like lots of people using something similar. It has two current sensor clamps, so it's nicely non invasive.

Not wild about it using 120V power as a battery or an adapter would prob be safer, but I've put the thing in a utility box to keep the 120V supply lines safely covered.

Can sense up to 80A of current

A little device is shown which is a square pack about the size of a tictac box, and a similarly sized sensor clamp, of which two are included with the device.

Learning more than I'd hoped was necessary about the #HomeAssistant #zigbee device handling.

There are python add-ons called "Quirks" that let devices add sensor entities after the fact for ZHA and Z2m.

I've got a 2-channel power sensor I'm trying to add and it seems to be on the bleeding edge of supported devices.

I see dev work going on, so might be the easiest path forward is to wait a few weeks.

But hey, I learned about Quirks today, so that's a new corner of HA for me.

Leider enttäuschend. Es wird momentan nur der Output-State per Zigbee exponiert, nicht der Input. github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/

D.h. Gen4 taugt leider wieder nur für reines Retrofit, aber nicht, wenn man #Zigbee-Lampen dahinter hat.

Ich will doch nur nen Zigbee-Unterputzschalter, dessen Input ich direkt auf die zu schaltende Zigbee Group (Lampen) binden kann und dem ich sagen kann, dass er nicht per default die Stromzufuhr unterbrechen soll (detached output).
