my deCONZ bridge is running reliable since a while with just a few device, Ikea Styrbar & Tradfri 30W.
Now I am onto replacing some of my EnOcean rocker switches (energy harvesting) & related actuators, with basically same kind of ZigBee Rocker switches (energy harvesting), JungFOH /PhilipsFOH / FOHSWITCHES (ZGP, battery less). Actuators shall be Shelly 1PM Mini Gen4 resp. Shelly 2PM Gen4 in some in some places.
Used to Shelly’s, I made my self warming up with on Shelly 1PM Mini Gen4 switching to ZigBee Mode. Could pair using Phoscon:
Don’t ask me why there’s initially a binding between that Tradfri & the Shelly, I guess it has something to with the Tradfri’s capability to act as ZGP proxy …
So, since I don’t see the ZGB rocker within deCONZ, I am not able to setup an ON/OFF binding between that switch and the actuator, what would be all I need to switch central light in that room.
Has my thinking been to simple here? What do I miss(ed) here?
Ok, learned that those ZGP rockers are not capable for binding and not visible on network scans …
So, I could make it work using Phoscon switch mapping in a proper lighting group. That does mean to my understanding, no deCONZ / Phoscon, no switching anymore.
I ask myself if there’s a possibility to pair the rocker directly with the Shelly actuator, before adding them into deCONZ / Phoscon?

Another finding, “running power” of “Shelly 1PM Mini Gen4” is not show properly in deCONZ / Phoscon and subsequently not in openHAB or homeassistent with deCONZ integration:
Well, yes, its a screenshot from Shelly’s WebUI. Shelly remains in WiFi after enabling ZigBee. It does help on startup / setup. The Gen4 are doing WiFi6 now, what is relieving the APs. Maybe I disable it on later point in time, but firmware updates can just be done over WiFi connection … so need to be re-enabled the one or other time …
Hmm, understand. Tried to follow that threads, is it that Shelly itself does not deliver the right number thru ZigBee?
