Pairing "Senic & GIRA Friends of Hue Outdoor Switch" with ConBee III

m00nsome · January 27, 2024, 11:24am

Hi,

I try to pair the Friends of Hue Outdoor Switch with deCONZ using ConBee III on a raspberry PI, following the guide from the FAQ. But no luck here.

I tried two different zigbee channels 11 and 20.

I’m not sure about the debugging options.

m00nsome · February 2, 2024, 3:38pm

Maybe there is something wrong with my general setup. I tried to use the ConBee III now with my main maschine (Arch Linux), but here I only see the following in deCONZ (started with root permissions):

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Mimiix · February 5, 2024, 3:56pm

AS far as i know, devices using ZGP (devices without battery/power sources) do not show in deCONZ.

@de_employees not sure how to proceed here. The logs show “unsupported green power device”.

manup · February 5, 2024, 10:35pm

As seen in the logs ZGP commands are received, so channel is fine. But this switch is currently not supported, the FAQ entry is for older versions of the Friends of Hue devices.

The unsupported green power device 0x02 indicates that the switch works a bit differently than the previous ones.

Long story short, I’ll put the outdoor switch on order to integrate it.

Side note: the ZGP devices are currently hard coded in deCONZ and can’t be added via DDF.

m00nsome · February 6, 2024, 11:01pm

Wow that sounds great.
Tnx!

dduransseau · February 7, 2024, 12:05pm

Sorry to hijack to device topic, but since it’s also green power switch I guess it make sense to follow it here.
Would it be possible to add this switch also SR-ZGP2801KS ? This is a “fake” FoH switch with a unique button that simulate a top right press of FoH switch.
I was able to pair it with deconz using FoH wizard but following Sunricher procedure and not deconz wizard.

Hi Manup,

I have just bought a pack of the indoor Senic FUH switches and getting the same error message.
I have just updated Deconz to the latest version:

Version 2.25.3
Firmware 264D0900

Regards
Ralf.

manup · February 10, 2024, 12:04pm

We have ordered the device as well, hope it arrives soon and the required changes are rather small.

manup · February 13, 2024, 12:44pm

The SENIC & GIRA Friends of Hue Outdoor Switch switch has arrived. Testing with deCONZ v2.25.3 it paired just fine and emits button events. Judging by what the sniffer shows and the code, this is working since April 2019 https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/commit/5a3767b7c3d6802d619368a63b5f856549d7a1e0

I don’t know yet what is different in the commands send by your switches, so I’ve added more debug printing to pin point the differences. Do you run 32-bit or 64-bit Raspbian? I can create a test version to gather more info via debug logging.

m00nsome · February 14, 2024, 10:48pm

Trying now with:
Gateway Version: 2.26.0
Firmware: 264F0900

The following test version contains more ZGP logging and perhaps already detects more variants of this switch. Would be cool if you can check it out. Note to enable the logging use deCONZ → Help → Debug view and enable ZGP.

deconz_2.26.0_1ab70f-debian_armhf.deb

deconz_2.26.0_1ab70f-debian_arm64.deb

I had the same problem as described pairing the “Busch-Jaeger Friends of Hue Switch” with deCONZ using ConBee III

With the 2.26 version the problem is resolved.

Chris42 · July 21, 2024, 3:40pm

Edit 2: Just tried on macOS with Gateway version 2.27.5. No problem pairing the PTM215Z. Hopefully, the HA add-on will be updated soon.

Edit 1: I just saw that wahle87 said the problem is maybe solved with version 2.26.
When i can expect the version will be available for Home Assistant?

I have some similar problem with ZGP switches:

Background:

deCONZ is running on HomeAssistant. The current version 2.25.3 of the gateway is installed.

I recently had a Conbee II with which I was able to connect my Friends of Hue ZGP PTM215Z switches without any problems. Since I am now using the Conbee II for another project, I got the new Conbee III.

The problem:

I updated the Conbee III today and installed the latest firmware because after several attempts with the old firmware, I couldn’t connect the ZGP switches with the Conbee III. I thought the new firmware might solve the problem. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Even with the latest firmware, I cannot connect my ZGP switches. As a test, I connected a Philips motion sensor without any problems (not ZGP). Currently, no other devices are connected.

How can I assist you in reintegrating the switch?
