How can I change the detected Type of a node?

CMon · April 8, 2023, 10:16pm

Hi,

I am using mostly zigbee devices and run into the problem that the Sonoff Switches are detected as Lights and Power sockets.
How I use them:

zbMini extreme (ZBMINIL2), for lights, because all my switches do not have an N wire
Zigbee Smart Switch (01MINIZB), for power socket control

Fun part nymea detects the ZBMINIL2 as power socket and the 01MINIZB as Light, so in my case the wrong way around.

Is there a way on changing the types of those devices, basically both are just switches and I could use them for whatever reason.

Cheers
Simon

Hi,

so, nymea presents them as the type of device they claim to be on the ZigBee level. For the ZBMINIL2 (the one that’s picked up as power socket) there’s an easy solution: You can create another thing, a generic light and then use the IO connections in the thing settings to connect the power state of the socket thing to the power state of the generic light. The idea is that for power sockets, you plug in something else and one can use the generic things to represent what’s actually plugged in.

However, for the other one, if it really claims to be a light, this mechanism is not in place, given that it doesn’t make sense to connect something to a light. However, you could still achieve the same using a rule or script, basically creating the generic thing you want and syncing the power state both ways. This will have the downside that it leaves you with a confusing light thing still there.

That said, you may want to enable the ZigBee debug category (system settings → developer tools → Logs), restart nymead and paste the node descriptor for the device, so we can verify that this is indeed what it is or if there’s something to improve in the code.

Sorry it took me some time to extend my network and reintegrate it back into the main network. Here are the descriptions:
