Another brick in the wall - Tuya joins the Zigbee Alliance

[roberto]

@djashones

what benefit would this bring?

If the question is for me, I can say my actual wifi Smart life power strips sometime drop off and are not directly driven by H E

[roberto]

@mattias

you can use the TP-link kasa KP303

It seems it has no EU plugs. I would prefer to try zigbee. But I could reconsider the thing

[brentfamily51]

Have you looked to flash them with tasmota? Using tuya connect? They are still wifi devices but then local controlled, by he. Most tuya WiFi devices can be converted, I've done a 3 outlet plug, 4 outlet strip, 6 single outlet control and 4 bulbs.

@brentfamily51

flash them with tasmota

In the past tuya tasmota drivers were deprecated by some users because they were using polling, as far as I understood. Recently Markus deployed a new driver that seems very interesting. As I trust Markus as developer, I should let his driver have a try, and learn from his code as well. I'm a little lazy to resume my old hw stuff

[brentfamily51]

Yeah I'm using his current release. I'll say it's been short term (only about a week), but I'll say they have been far better than some of the zigbee light bulbs I have.. lol.

Can you update with your review? I have a Geeni WiFi power bar which I completely don't trust.

[roberto]

I'm still waiting for the zigbee power strip from China. I'll try to install tasmota when I'll have in in my hands. it could require quite a long time...

@mike.maxwell

there are only two dynamic multi endpoint zigbee switch drivers currently.
Aurora Zigbee Switch and Nue Zigbee Switch
Try them in that order, in both cases the configure command needs to be executed, they do not share the same child device type, so if switching from the aurora to the nue the device will need to be deleted if any child devices were created...

It seems that Aurora Zigbee Switch driver works correctly with the following Useelink/Tuya Zigbee Power strip:

I noticed that Zigbee 3.0 (fallen back at HA 1.2 with HE...) devices (even Xiaomi new serie) are discovered and bound very fast by HE. Is it only my impression?

Useelink/Tuya Zigbee Power strip

I'd be interested to know if my Generic Zigbee Switch driver also work with that one. If you test it, let me know

It does. The only difference is that your driver starts with all plugs on, while the Aurora starts with all plugs off.

Btw, I tested also your illuminance driver, not very deeply indeed. It seems that if the illuminance variation is lower than the set minimum, the driver does'nt update last checkin date/time

Ok, nice, at least it is generic enough then

At least 30 minutes need to pass for a new checkin event to be recorded with that driver. All my drivers have a minimum, but what that is depends on the driver. Most are set to 30 minutes though. This is there to keep from recording too many events.

[roberto]

@markus so now I have not any excuse not to hack my previous wifi power strip with your tasmota driver .
I need to recover my dusted programmer ... and my only single neuron...

[roberto]

The power strip data are as following:
Data * endpointId: 01

• hasMultiEP: true
• application: 42
• softwareBuild:
• driver: v0.8.2.0720b
• inClusters: 0000,000A,0004,0005,0006

power strip data are as following

If you don't mind, could you give me what is printed when you press Get Info? The line about fingerprint.

@markus I installed tasmota-hubitat in my old wifi tuya power strip (4 plugs+usb).
Which Module Type should I set the module in order to controll the 4 plugs independently ?

[markus]

@roberto

For something like that you would need to set a template correctly for all pins. Exactly what device is this? If there is a template on this site it would make it easier.

[roberto]

@markus the following seems identical to the one in my hand

Koogeek KLOE4 Power Strip Template for Tasmota

[roberto]

ok. with that template it works by now!

EDIT: good! so now I have 1+ fully local power strip. Thanks markus

[roberto]

@markus just a note:the main phisical switch is acting only on the latest plug (child device) , not on the others. Any advice?

Template changed to AOFO
In the parent device:
DEVICE CONFIGURATION= generic device

[SOLVED] the main button can switch on/off any single plug (1 to 5) with multiple tapping : 1 tapping for 1st plug, 2 rapid tapping for 2nd plug and so on.
