New Unknown Cluster Warning - should I be worried about this?

Hi,

I have installed several ZBMINI-L2 relays using the Zigbee Sonoff - generic relays driver here.

I find the relay is constantly getting a warning entry in the log that says:

swHallway : New unknown Cluster0005 Detected: [raw:catchall: 0000 0005 00 00 0040 00 E9A4 00 00 0000 00 00 470000, profileId:0000, clusterId:0005, clusterInt:5, sourceEndpoint:00, destinationEndpoint:00, options:0040, messageType:00, dni:E9A4, isClusterSpecific:false, isManufacturerSpecific:false, manufacturerId:0000, command:00, direction:00, data:[47, 00, 00], cluster:0005]

Is this something I should be concerned with? How do I go about getting rid of this problem?

Thanks for everyone's help on this.

This is an issue with the custom driver being used.

It's happening a lot to me and filling my log page from this device haha.

I don't think this cluster is so important, since the on/off features are working fine. I just has a problem about unpair sometimes.


I'm using Zigbee - Sonoff - generic Relays/Outlets from tmastersmart

Which driver is being used with this device?

Hi, Mike.

I'm using Zigbee - Sonoff - generic Relays/Outlets, from tmastersmart. It's running with version 1.7.4 03/30/2023.

I've reverted to using the Generic Zigbee Switch driver which stopped the error from popping up again. One thing I found is that when I introduced Tuya Zigbee Plugs into my mess is when this errors started popping up.

The Tuya plug is also seemingly what's responsible for my Sonoff ZBMini-L2s dropping from the mesh when the switch routes through them running as a repeater.

Thankfully I had a HA setup as well, so I moved my Tuya stuff to HA and avoided dealing with this problem now.

It is not necessary this warning to be shown in the logs - you can try to contact the author of the driver, asking him to hide this warn message.

Seems like there is some incompatibility between the Tuya plugs and the Sonoff switches…

All my Tuya Zigbee plugs are excellent Zigbee repeaters, I have a lot of battery-powered devices which are using them as routers. But I have no Sonoff switches.

The Sonoff zbmini-l2 seems very particular about the repeater it talks to. There isn't much option though, I'm not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to small footprint no neutral relays.

Is there a way of forcing these modules to use certain repeaters (and not others) or turning off the repeating capability of specific devices to try to identify the problematic devices and establish a more reliable operation?
