Kindly looking for some support on getting my Ikea motion sensors into HA.
I’ve HA OS installed on a RP4, which in turn is installed into a Nespi Case. Having read about the issues with USB3 and SSDs, I’ve reversed the USB connectors from the PI to the case, as per instructions from various sources. I also have plugged in the Conbee II stick into an extension cable, so there’s less interference. The firmware on the stick has been updated to 26780700.
I’ve tried all day yesterday adding an Ikea motion sensor via Phoscon, and I’ve successfully managed to find the device once, however it disappeared on system restart and never managed to find it aftwerwards. I’ve reset it countless times, placed it in close proximity to the stick, plugged in the stick straight into the case, switched usb ports, nothing seems to work in finding the sensor.
I tried pulling out logs but i’s giving me even more of a headache. I have access to the logs in the deconz integration, would that work?
Also, I can see the live logs in the Deconz Web UI of HA, but can’t get into copying them.
TIL - vnc connections to HA
Finally managed to understand how to get logs using a VNC viewer. Wasn’t clear for me from instructions how to add the password (had to do it in YAML mode instead of GUI) and that I had to use the HA IP address to connect with the 5900 port (writing this for those going through the same struggles). Used VNC viewer and all connected properly
@MimiixHere is a 5-6 minute log during which I reset the sensor about 5 times.
Thank you for the patience and assistance.
Can you go in deconz - click “leave” on top (next to the In Network green text)
Open Network settings
Change APS USE EXT PAN ID to 0x0000000000000000
hit “save”
click “done”
Click JOIN where you clicked leave.
Did that, now it doesn’t want to join? Says not in network and logs say it gets timeout
Edit: Also getting bad gateway in the HA plugin
Edit 2: now it kicks me out of the device as well, can’t get to change anything in the network settings
I just reflashed the firmware on the stick, and re-installed the deconz integration as well, and also changed the APS USE EXT PAN ID to 0x0000000000000000
I don’t see the gateway in Phoscon no more, didn’t even try adding anything. Logs from VNC here
Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) is the deCONZ equilevant of Home Assistant themselves.You can’t use both at the same time as they use the stick to communicate. You need to remove ZHA and then the addon will be able to attach the stick again.
disabled ZHA in the front end, performed a system restart, and I could succesfully see the gateway in Phoscon. Tried to pair my sensor again, but no luck this time either. Log file no.3 here
I’m using a 30cm extension cable from the usb to the stick. The SSD is inside the Nespi Case. Will go buy an USB extender for 1m and see if that works?
and never managed to find it aftwerwards. I’ve reset it countless times, placed it in close proximity to the stick, plugged in the stick straight into the case, switched usb ports, nothing seems to work in finding the sensor.
