ZigBeeForDomoticZ plugin Wiki

How-To get devices well integrated with the plugin

Overview

It might happen that your device is well paired with the coordinator and the plugin, but do not behave has expected. The plugin is providing a way to overwrite the Zigbee standard behavior by adding specifics to the device plugin configuration.

Since plugin version 6.4.4xx, the device config files have moved out of the plugin core engine to a specific python module ( z4d-certified-devices ). This will allow to have more regular update of config files without touching the plugin core engine.

The source code of the z4d-certified-devices can be used as reference or examples.

if you need some support/help to build your own config file, the best is to use the Discussions forum, and for course we are counting on you to make the config file available for others.

evaluation

  1. Transform a centi-degree value into degree

    "eval": "round(int(value) / 100, 1)",

  2. transform the received data ( value ) into the Atmo Pressure as per the Zigbee standard

    "eval": "round(int(value) * pow( 10, scale), 1)",

  3. transform the Scaled Pressure measurement.

    1. retrieve the scale in attribute 0x0014 of cluster 0x0403
    2. evaluate the the formula with the retrieved scale information
     {
      "evalInputs": {"scale": { "Cluster": "0403", "Attribute": "0014"}},
      "eval": "round(int(value) * pow( 10, scale), 1)",
     }
    

Device module

overview

instead of using eval which is limited to simple expression, you can implement a full python function to handle the value as an input and return the result. If returning None, no action will be taken

How-to

  1. Create your python3 module file in the DevicesModulesfolder
  2. Code your custom function in the <manufacturer>.py module

    • The function can take only 2 parameters self and value
    • The function must return something
     def custom_<manufactuer>_function(self, value):
    
         return value
    
  3. Integrate the function in the flow
    1. Edit the file DevicesModules/__init__.py, just follow the same as what has already been done
      • import your module
      • link the function to the stanza you will put in the conf file
     FUNCTION_WITH_ACTIONS_MODULE = {
         # Lumi 0xfcc
         "Lumi_fcc0": lumi_private_cluster,
    
         # ZLinky
         "zlinky_clusters": zlinky_clusters
    
     }
     FUNCTION_MODULE = {
         # 0702 helper
         "compute_metering_conso": compute_metering_conso,
    
         # 0b04 helper
         "compute_electrical_measurement_conso": compute_electrical_measurement_conso,
    
         # Konke Switch
         "konke_onoff": konke_onoff,
     }
    
    

Optimize a non-yet optimized device

It is likely that your device - if fully Zigbee 3.0 compliant - works well with the plugin. It means that you have paired the device, and automatically the plugin made a discovery of the device features and created the corresponding domoticz widgets.

In that case, it might be efficient to get the plugin fully aware of what the device is and is not capable.

To do so, you have to create a ‘config’ file under the Local-Devices folder.

  1. First you need to extract raw device informations from the plugin.

    1. open the WebUI and go to the Device Management section

    WebUI:Device Management

    1. as shown on the here above screenshot you’ll see a list of device, and the one with the yellow icon refer to devices for which there is no associated config file for the plugin and their behavior might not be optimum.

    2. Click on the yellow icon, it will copy immediately the necessary information to the Clipboard. You can then paste in the Json viewer ( like that one JsonViewer. You will see a result like this one

    JsonViewer Exemple

  2. Create the configuration file for this device

    1. You have to create the file under the Conf/Certified/00Local folder
    2. You have to create the file with a specific name. The name is based on the Zigbee Model identifier you can get in the json file, look at attribute Model, and create the file as modelname.json.

    for exemple if we look after the Json file above, the Zigbee model identifier is lumi.weather, so you will create a file name Conf/Certified/00Local/lumi.weather.json

    you can initialize the file with the following content, that we will show how to update in the next steps

    
     {
         "_comment": "",
         "_blakadder": "",
         "_version": "",
         "Ep": {
             "01": {
                 "0000": "",
                 "Type": ""
             }
         },
         "Type": "",
            
         ,
         "ConfigureReporting": {
         },
         "ReadAttributes": {
         },
         "Param": {
         },
     }
    
    
  3. Update the attributes

    • “_comment”: put what ever comment you would like. We are recommending to put at least the Device Product Name and manufacturer
    • “_blakadder”: you can add here the link to the blakadder web site, where your device is referenced. If the device is not yet referenced, we strongly recommend you to request to get it in.
    • “_version”: this is a version number you can put.
  4. Update the “Ep” section

    Here we have to declare what are the Endpoint (EP) the device has and what are the Clusters available on each of the EP. for more information on Ep and Clusters I suggest you to look after the Zigbee technical presentation

    During pairing, the plugin started a discovery process and interviewed the device for the list of endpoints, and the supported clusters for each of the endpoint. This information will be found on the Json.

    In the here after exemple you can see a somehow complex device which has 3 endpoints.

    Json Complex EndPoint Device CMS323

    We can see :

    3 Endpoints : 0x01, 0x02 and 0x04 and we see for each of the ep the associated cluster.

    This will result in the following config file where fo each Endpoint we have listed the available cluster and we have also define what are the associated Domoticz Widgets.

     {
         "Ep": {
             "01": {
                 "0000": "",
                 "0001": "",
                 "0003": "",
                 "0500": "",
                 "Type": "Motion/Voltage"
             },
             "02": {
                 "0001": "",
                 "0402": "",
                 "0405": "",
                 "Type": "Temp/Humi"
             },
             "04": {
                 "0001": "",
                 "0500": "",
                 "Type": "Switch"
             }
         },
         "Type": "",
    
    Ep Widget Cluster source of information
    01 Motion The motion detection will come from the Cluster 0x0500 ( IAS ), Domoticz will switch the Motion widget from On to Off depending on the notification
      Voltage The device will send voltage information via the cluster 0x0001 ( Power ), and domoticz will displayed the voltage value
    02 Temperature The device will send Temperature information via cluster 0x0402
      Humidity Humidity info will be provided from cluster 0x0405
    04 Switch The device offer the possibility to detect vibration on cluster 04 and the cluster 0500 will be used for

    if you look to the Json you could say that there is less clusters than the reality discovered by the plugin. Indeed, cluster 0x0000 is mentioned only one on the Ep 01, which we consider suffisant and there is no need to get the same information across several Ep.

    In summary Type is corresponding to the Domoticz Widget to be created and used to display sensor information as well as handling actions

    More information on the Cluster -> Widget

  5. Update the ClusterToBind section

    A Binding is the creation of a unidirectional logical link between a source endpoint/cluster identifier pair and a destination endpoint.

    It might be needed to established a binding between the device and the coordinator in order to receive automatic report such as sensor information.

    In "ClusterToBind": [ ] you will be able to list the clusters to be bound with the coordinator. By default , the plugin is looking after the Endpoint list (Ep) and will established a bind for each of the Ep/Cluster existing.

    In case you have a multiple Ep device which serve same cluster, you might want to restrict the binding to only a specific Ep. In such case you can use "bindEp": [ ]

    If we follow the CMS323 device, we need to bind 01/0001, 02/0001, 04/001, 02/0402, 04/0405

    
     "ClusterToBind": [ "0001", "0402", "0405" ],
    
    
  6. Update the ConfigureReporting section

    The Configure Reporting command is used to configure the reporting mechanism for one or more of the attributes of a cluster. Usually in order to put in place a Configure Reporting command, a corresponding binding needs to be done as well

    
     "ConfigureReporting": {
         "0001": { "Attributes": { "0021": { "DataType": "20", "MinInterval": "0E10", "MaxInterval": "A8C0", "TimeOut": "0000", "Change": "01" } }},
         "0402": { "Attributes": { "0000": { "DataType": "29", "MinInterval": "003C", "MaxInterval": "0384", "TimeOut": "0000", "Change": "0032" } } },
         "0405": { "Attributes": { "0000": { "DataType": "21", "MinInterval": "003C", "MaxInterval": "0384", "TimeOut": "0000", "Change": "0032" } } }
     },
    
    
  7. Update the ReadAttributes section

    The Read Attribute command is used to query the device on attributes. In this section we are going to indicate to the plugin which Cluster/Attributes are valid and can be queried.

        
     "ReadAttributes": {
         "0000": ["0004","0005","0006","0007"],
         "0001": [ "0020" ],
         "0003": [],
         "0402": [ "0000" ],
         "0405": [ "0000" ],
         "0500": [ "0000", "0001", "0002", "0010", "0011" ]
     },

Widget Type

“Type” is used to define the list of Widget Type (also named Device in domoticz). You can define a list of Widgets to be created by combining several type separated by /

For example

```json
"Type": "Baro/Temp/Humi"
```

Would create 5 widgets in Domoticz:
