Any idea which DDF to use for Hobeian ZG-106Z light sensor?

Hey,

I am trying to pair a Hobeian ZG-106Z light sensor.

I already searched the Deconz Toolbox for that model name but didn’t find anything, also not in the GitHub repo.

It is this little thing:
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ZG-106Z.html

I checked here:
https://z2m.dev/devices/tuya/ts0222.html
=> It seems to be a white label of the tuya ts0222.
There IS indeed a ddf for that:
https://deconz-community.github.io/ddf-tools/#/store/bundle/32e3df6372ada1dcf9d6e506d8acec3d1d8304924b7b958324120cbb9c869ecb

But how do I make DeConz clear that those are the same?
From what I understand, deCONZ matches DDFs based on the Manufacturer Name and Model Identifier reported in the Basic Cluster, not the product name. So my plan would be:

  1. Install the DDF bundle from the store linked above via the deCONZ Toolbox / integrated DDF store.
  2. Check what my device actually reports: pair it, then read the Basic Cluster in the deCONZ GUI (or query manufacturername / modelid via the REST API) to see if the Hobeian unit identifies itself with one of the Tuya IDs already listed in the TS0222 DDF.
  3. If the IDs don’t match: open the DDF editor (Edit → Open DDF Editor), load the TS0222 DDF and add my device’s combination to the manufacturername / modelid arrays, e.g.:
"manufacturername": ["_TZ3000_xxxxxxxx", "HOBEIAN"],
"modelid": ["TS0222", "ZG-106Z"]

Then save it as a user DDF (should end up in ~/.local/share/dresden-elektronik/deCONZ/devices/) and reload the DDF on the device.

Does that sound like the correct approach, or is there a simpler way to tell deCONZ that this white-label device should use the existing TS0222 DDF?
