Issue with TRADFRI on/off switch

deCONZ General Support
1

I have a similar issue that was previously reported on github, Strange issue with IKEA Tradfri ON/OFF (Dimmer) Switch CB10 · Issue #2107 · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin · GitHub.

My issue is not with pairing a TRADFRI device, it is related to the secondary issue that was reported with all lights being reported as “on”, but the lights don’t actually turn on.

Whilst for the most part, its not an issue as after a short period of time the lights will report their correct state, this is causing me issues with home assist as I have automation rules set up for certain light switches in my home are turned on.

I’m running on a Raspberry Pi4, using docker
Device: Conbee II
Gateway Version: 2.24.3
Firmware: 26780700
docker image: deconzcommunity/deconz

Here is a copy of the logs which show the behaviour. When the switch is triggered on, all groups, lights report a status of on, even though nothing is on.

Any assistance on possible work arounds to stop this behaviour would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I have a similar issue with 2 of my tradfri buttons after migrating to Conbee 3.
One is doing a unicast the other a broadcast to all lights group.

I tried already to unbind them from this group as decribed in the FAQ on GitHub but my switches seem to be not bound to this group but still trigger all lights.

Btw most lights only show state on in deconz but do not really turn on, only a few with is preventing me from using the buttons anyway.

What worked for me was this:

As you seem to have the same issue “Ghost turn on”, here is what i did to solve this.

  • Setting Group 0xFFF0 to deleted
  • Remove the switch (if already paired), make sure delete all group assignments manually before removing!
  • Re-pair the switch

After setting group 0xFFF0 to deleted, i had to remove the switch from all groups, delete the switch and re-pair it. This solved the issue for me.

If you use HomeAssistant, it is quite hard to login into the docker container to update the DB, here is a hint:

Install the COMMUNITY SSH & Web Terminal add-on (the one made by Frenk, NEEDS config! just set a username and password!), then use docker container ls to list docker containers. Then I accessed the required container (for me it was the one with deconz in the name) using docker exec -it 21332546 bash replacing 21332546_influxdb with container ID with deconz.

Also i did the update with Deconz running and restarted afterwards (could not figure out how to stop only deconz and not the docker container …).

I think this is a BUG!, there is no reason to bind a new switch to all lights when added.

If I recall correctly , it is in the device firmware.
