Driver for 8-button remote?

John_Land · June 18, 2025, 8:55pm

Just got one of these:

Manufacturer: Null
Model: ZB-WB08

Any suggestions for a driver?

Tuya scene probably.

John_Land · June 19, 2025, 1:35am

No joy. Tried "Tuya Scene Switch" and "Tuya Scene Switch TS004F" - neither worked.

Tuya Scene Switch TS004F puts this in the log:

warn  Remote - 8-Button Garage **unknown device model ZB-WB08 manufacturer null. Please report this log to the developer.**

If it helps someone this is the z2m code I found for it in the converter.

github.com

Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters/blob/master/src/devices/easyiot.ts

import * as iconv from "iconv-lite";

import * as exposes from "../lib/exposes";
import {logger} from "../lib/logger";
import * as m from "../lib/modernExtend";
import * as reporting from "../lib/reporting";
import type {DefinitionWithExtend, Fz, KeyValueAny, Tz} from "../lib/types";

const NS = "zhc:easyiot";
const ea = exposes.access;
const e = exposes.presets;

const fzLocal = {
    easyiot_ir_recv_command: {
        cluster: "tunneling",
        type: ["commandTransferDataResp"],
        convert: (model, msg, publish, options, meta) => {
            logger.debug(`"easyiot_ir_recv_command" received (msg:${JSON.stringify(msg.data)})`, NS);
            const hexString = msg.data.data.toString("hex");
            logger.debug(`"easyiot_ir_recv_command" received command ${hexString}`, NS);

Thanks for the info, but I know nothing about how to use that code in Hubitat -- it doesn't work as Groovy driver code, and I don't know where to even start adapting it to HE.

Where did you get this device? It's likely going to need its own driver -- you might be able to find a custom one with a search, but I didn't have any luck -- unless it happens to work the same as one already available. Offhand, it doesn't look like any I can think of (though even that is not a guarantee). I'm not having any luck searching for this device online for purchase, but if staff could get a hold of one, a they could probably write a driver.

YHC ZigBee 2 x 8 button remote controls OnOff switch scene control Zigbee IEEE 802.15.4 for zigbee2mqtt

The buttons have a nice tactile feedback, and I was hoping that this would be a nice addition to my Zigbee system.

Guess I wasn't searching for the right terms!

Tagging @mike.maxwell since I know he's worked on a bunch of these. I'm not sure if this was one, though I can't find any evidence that it was if it was. He'd probably be faster at it than me, but I could take a crack at it, too. Would be better with one in hand.

Probably would work we support the 1,2 and 4 button units with the same driver, 8 should work

JumpJump · June 20, 2025, 8:09pm

Which driver is that? Does it require a code change to add this 8 button device?

mike.maxwell · June 20, 2025, 8:48pm

Sorry, I thought this was a switch at first, button controllers are a different beast altogether since there's no uniform way via code to figure out what button is what. We don't have a driver for this guy...

Ranchitat · August 1, 2025, 5:18pm

~~Now that there's a built-in driver for this.~~
Edit: Oops not quite yet.

How do you like the remote?
Might have to try one.

John_Land · August 1, 2025, 5:26pm

I’m running Version 2.4.2.138, but I don’t see a driver for this 8 button remote yet. Do you know the drivername I should be looking for?

Ranchitat · August 1, 2025, 5:35pm

Sorry, no idea.

Maybe @mike.maxwell might have some guidance.

John_Land · August 1, 2025, 5:36pm

I post a question to him privately, but haven’t heard back yet.

mike.maxwell · August 1, 2025, 6:26pm

Yeah, it didn't make 2.4.2.138

John_Land · August 6, 2025, 2:05am

Progress today: the 8-button remote -- after re-pairing about 5 times after selecting the new driver -- seems to work!

I'll know more when I actually use it to control things.

Thanks again for your terrific work!

UPDATE:

I installed one 8-button remote and found that only buttons 1-7 worked. A 2nd installed unit has all 8 buttons working. Haven't tested a 3rd unit that I have.

The buttons have a good tactile feedback. The outer buttons (the part you press) are pieces of the plastic shell -- just tabs -- that simply flex a very small amount to push the working button switches on the inner PCB. It remains to be seen whether the slight flex will result in stress cracking over time sufficient to break off the tabs.

I'm satisfied with the fully working unit -- I control 7 lighting circuits inside and outside of my garage workshop and 1 fan, and I haven't made use of double clicking or holding yet.
