Aqara TVOC ZHAAirQuality data

sirinveen · March 1, 2022, 3:51pm

Use the tip of @Mimiix that can help you: Aqara TVOC ZHAAirQuality data - #2 by Mimiix to identity your sensor.

Can you see like name “AirQuality 240” or have you a other name?

Smanar · March 1, 2022, 6:44pm

If the device need it, it can’t work, it’sd probably missing in the DDF.
It this one https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/blob/master/devices/xiaomi/xiaomi_airmonitor_acn01.json ?

If yes, the DDF is probably incomplete, it s for that @sirinveen have made the bind itself using the Mimixx tips.

Do you know how to add them in the DDF ? DDF cheat sheet · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub

jan666 · March 2, 2022, 6:09am

This is what I have:

TVOC 3

Which bindings are missing?

I tried reading the descriptor etc again

sirinveen · March 2, 2022, 11:31am

Hi @jan666

I think you must delete and renew your sensor because some cluster are missing like Temperature and Analog Input (basic).

And after use the tips from @Mimiix I tell you before (push reset button of the sensor and quickly after Read node descriptor and/or Read simple descriptors) → do this 1-3 times and show after if you have all clusters see below).

Here my screenshot of AirQuality:

Can you also provide screenshots of air quality and airqualityppb?

For example air quality:

jan666 · March 2, 2022, 12:56pm

Ok, I deleted the sensor, re-added it and read the descriptors. Now I have:

…and I only have “ZHAHumidity” and “ZHATemperature” sensors - no more ZHAAirQuality

Mimiix · March 2, 2022, 12:57pm

That’s the issue with the Xiaomi’s: Its a bit hard to get everything properly paired.

jan666 · March 2, 2022, 1:12pm

I paired again w/o deleting first. now I have all 3 sensors. It still looks like on the screenshots

sirinveen · March 2, 2022, 4:03pm

Now be patient 1-2 hours or more and you will see he update temperature humidity and air quality.

And also the battery will be updated at 100%. Begin always with null or zero.

Not really a success

Smanar · March 3, 2022, 3:52pm

What is the issue ?
Value are updated when you read them using the GUI, but not in normal use ? No periodic report ?

jan666 · March 4, 2022, 7:02am

Yes, no updates. Temperature (last update: 2022-03-04 07:29:21
) and humidity (last update 2022-03-04 07:23:09
) is updated. Airqualits is not (still last update at 2022-03-03 03:55:14)

ee02217 · March 4, 2022, 8:43am

From my experience, it only updates TVOC when there is a significant change. I created an automation to push the changes read from HA to telegram and I receive the most 1 notification per day.
If I move the sensor to a different place with very different values it updates right away.

Smanar · March 4, 2022, 4:42pm

For me it can just be an issue because the binding are missing in the DDF.
You can try to set them yourself using deconz Device Support immax Keyfob-ZB3.0 · Issue #2196 · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin · GitHub

Or add them in the DDF.
Just to try you can set one for the temperature

Cluster 0x0402
attribute 0x0000

Value

        min = 10;
        rmax = 300;
        change  = 20;

jan666 · March 8, 2022, 11:46am

I did something… dont know really if correct

jan666 · March 8, 2022, 12:59pm

It reports all the time now. Is this good or bad? is it too often?

ee02217 · March 8, 2022, 1:13pm

How did you achieve that?

jan666 · March 8, 2022, 1:24pm

I did what @Smanar said: Aqara TVOC ZHAAirQuality data - #53 by Smanar / Aqara TVOC ZHAAirQuality data - #54 by jan666

Smanar · March 8, 2022, 3:50pm

Depend of what you want, but for me it’s bad, realy bad for battery sensor. It’s a temperature sensor, a report every 30mn is enought for me, but it’s personnal.

Min is the minium delay without report.
Max is the maximum delay without report.
Change is the minimum value to trigger a report.

On my side I would use bigger values than the ones used on the test.

And if it work like that, it mean, I m right, it’s just because you miss the bind configuration on the DDF.

Do you have tried to set them using the DDF editor ? To improve the DDF ?

Go on binding tab
drag and drop the cluster 0x0402 on the left panal
drag and drop the attribute 0x0000 on the right panel
set the values you want to use.
Save the DDF
Hot reload

jan666 · March 9, 2022, 6:20am

I feel a little bit supid asking. But whats the correct min/max/change Setting for “every 30 minutes”?
