Batterie Problem

[tobster]

I have a 4 way Tuya switch ZT-SY-EU4S-WH-EN and a Ledvance Smart+ Mini Switch where the battery is constantly going flat.
With the Tuya I can see an unusual flashing with the Ledvance I have not encountered any abnormalities. What information do I need to provide to isolate the problem? Does anyone have any ideas?

[nioko]

Same issue here, did you buy it from this seller?

13.77€ 50% OFF|AUBESS Tuya ZigBee Smart Szene Schalter 4 Gang 12 Szene...

I have another, which does not make any problems, and runs great for a while now.

[Smanar]

Yes I know this issue, it can be solved on some device that are using DDF.

Can you give the device modeld id / Manufacture name ?

Hello Smanar

Does this help?
Vendor _TZ3000_wkai4ga5

It’s the 4 button version from the listing mentioned above.

[tobster]

Hi Nioko, i bought it at Amazon in Blackweek.

[Smanar]

The _TZ3000_wkai4ga5 is managed by legacy code, no issue on this one ?

@tobster what is your model ?

[tobster]

_TZ3000_wkai4ga5 issue
_TZ3000_vp6clf9d no issue

both TS0044

The Ledvance I have to pair. There I came back later…

[nioko]

I’m not sure if it even is phoscon related. I have one _TZ3000_wkai4ga5 from another vendor, it is working flawless.

Then I bought 3 pcs. from the vendor linked above. Hardware does not look exactly the same (Mounting to the wall is a bit different). I have not installed them, they are just paired and sitting on my desk.

At first, one of these was eating batteries. Then a second one started to also eat batteries. Now I’m waiting until the 3rd starts as well

@tobster

_TZ3000_wkai4ga5 issue
_TZ3000_vp6clf9d no issue

Ok so both are managed by legacy code, and exactly with the same code.
So not the same issue.

You can try editing this DDF deconz-rest-plugin/devices/tuya/_TZ3000_ygvf9xzp_4gang_remote.json at b2761cd529982fa13eaf4b56059221220a7f3237 · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin · GitHub

And adding your model, to test the result usng the DDF core instead of the legacy one.

Can you briefly describe the way to exchange in a container, so that I don’t make unfit tests. First of all, the file is already in my container and do I only have to edit line 3 or is it more complicated?

[Smanar]

There is more than the 2 line to edit on the one already present, there is too 2 “refreshinterval”, this file is a file in PR not yet official.

Real docker or the HA cooked one ?
On HA you have a persistent folder for DDF in /data/.local/share/dresden-elektronik/deCONZ/devices/

How to add/edit a DDF on Home assistant using text editor?

Hello. Deconz use 2 folders, one reserved to it, updated at every deconz update, and one for the user, untouched. Someone know where to find the “user” one ? We are trying with [IMG-20220918-WA0010] But this folder is not persistant. I know how to find it on docker but on the “HA docker” … Edit: Ok so the folder is /.local/share/dresden-elektronik/deCONZ/devices in root@core-deconz but no persistent. It seem the only persistent folder created by HA is the “data” folder, but there is in…

Just put the complete file in the user “devices” folder, it will overwrite the deconz one.

But if you have a real docker, IDK where is the persistent folder, but it will be easier to found it.

[tobster]

I am using deconzcommunity/deconz. I have a persistent folder deConz in /opt in the container. There is no /data folder I can find.
Should I try to put the file into the device (/opt/deConz/) folder?

[tobster]

@tobster

_TZ3000_wkai4ga5

I think it worked in /opt/deconz

17:13:11:790 DEV found DDF for 0xCC86ECFFFE9A5457, path: /opt/deCONZ/devices/_TZ3000_ygvf9xzp_4gang_remote.json

[tobster]

How do I know that the new file will be used? Is that line right?

“manufacturername”: [“_TZ3000_wkai4ga5”, “_TZ3000_ygvf9xzp”, “_TZ3000_ee8nrt2l”, “_TZ3000_dziaict4”, “_TZ3000_mh9px7cq”],

Your device is the 0xCC86ECFFFE9A5457 ? So it mean it have worked.
If you are using the GUI and making “edit DDF” (on the menu with right clic) you will see the DDF.

If your device is the _TZ3000_wkai4ga5 that need to be added, you need to add it on both lines

  "manufacturername": ["_TZ3000_ygvf9xzp", "_TZ3000_ee8nrt2l", "_TZ3000_dziaict4", "_TZ3000_mh9px7cq", "_TZ3000_wkai4ga5 "],
  "modelid": ["TS0044", "TS0044", "TS0044", "TS0044", "TS0044"],

Yes that works so. The ID is correct. The Powerindikator off the Battery shows low state too. I inserted a new coin.

@Smanar

I corrected that. Do I have to restart after editing or is there a smarter way?

[Smanar]

If you have the editor, there is an option “hot reload”, but deconz load DDF only at start, so if you have edited it after using a test editor, better to relaod deconz.

[livier]

hello
I have a “_TZ3000_wkai4ga5” and I put the DDF file for deconz, button works well but I didn’t received the value for the battery, and currently I drain my batterie in 2 to 3 days!

[Smanar]

You are using this DDF deconz-rest-plugin/_TZ3000_ygvf9xzp_4gang_remote.json at b2761cd529982fa13eaf4b56059221220a7f3237 · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin · GitHub (this one is still in PR list and need to add manualy the _TZ3000_wkai4ga5) ?

[tobster]

Two Days and the battery is empty. Can we debug why the consumtion Is so high. Do the switch don‘t sleep or something like That?
