Trying to pair a Zigbee power Strip

Got the update, browser is now stuck on spinning circle mode....

Switching to Device, clearing everything.

While saving the driver? I have had similar slowdowns in the last few days also.

Back to the driver, saving....
So far so good.

Save Preferences.....
Spinning...

Nothing in the logs.

Still spinning... aka waiting for 192....

I am reading the Github comments on the same device issues - there are 37 comments on ZHA and 110 (!!) comments on Zigbee2MQTT implementation ...

So, the implementation in HE will definitely take much more time than usually.

Clicking on Configure or Initialize seems to do nothing, it's only when I click on Save Preferences that it goes into limbo.

This screenshot from HomeAssistant ZHA thread sounds scary to me :

I will stop for now, going deeper will require a lot of time that I don't have at the moment.

Controlling this XENON 4AC+2USB power strip from HE will be too tricky and too risky.

Well if I switch to the Generic driver I have control of 2 components now. :upside_down_face:

Last kick for tonight...

Using this driver to initialize, then switching to the Generic Multi gives me control of the four outlets, no USB's.
I think... too much clicking. :crazy_face:

I have the same strip in an different layout. Using zigbee multi endpoint driver and it works, but changes its 16 bit address almost everyday. When I start pairing for other zigbee devices, this strip often shows up as wanting to pair again, like its in a pairing loop. Maybe some cluster is not being bound properly?

Here's my data section

Data & Child Devices

Here's what my version looks like, although with USSA plugs

I pulled the trigger and while the AliExpress 11/11 discounts are still active, ordered the EU version of hopefully the same or very similar in it's behaviour device : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802155363913.htm
I will come back when I receive it and have it fully working.

The UK one works with the generic zigbee multi endpoint driver. It recognised as the zemismart driver as a single - change the driver to generic and child devices marked EP0x pop up. 4 sockets plus USB working.

There is something weird though, an extra device marked Zigbee EPF2. Only thing I can think of is the press button for pairing?

I received my power strip yesterday. The bad news is that for now, after a lot of attempts and experiments I can not make it work with HE.

Listening to the Zigbee communication to HE radio shows unusual high number of repeated packets on transport level.

The device doesn't finish the Zigbee pairing procedure with HE, sends a 'leave' command, and changes its NWK address.

It's rather unusual that the reported number of outClusters is 0.

Searching for information on the SoC manufacturer for this device doesn't find a registered manufacturer company. MAC Address Lookup - MAC Lookup Online defaults to the Ieee Registration Authority.

It is the same problem as with the UK plug TS01F _TZ3000_okaz9tjs
The SoC is from the same unknown manufacturer (MAC address starting with 70B3D52)

Some companies (Wyze among them) obtain the rights to the same subset of the MAC address range and share the same first 6 characters; the addresses (6 character blocks) are still administrated by IEEE and show up as "IEEE Registration Authority" in lookups.

Thanks for trying, guess for now it's back to Amazon for mine. :frowning_face:

My pairing attempt with "Generic Zigbee Multi-Endpoint Switch" recorded in the below youtube lin,
Powerstrip - pairing attempt - screen recording

I have a similar powerstrip working with Hubitat and using the same driver "Generic Zigbee Multi-Endpoint Switch". But this new one is not showing the child devices (indivudual power sockets) after detection, (even though I used the same driver "Generic Zigbee Multi-Endpoint Switch")

Hopefully a new driver supporting this will be added to the list soon. I am planning to return this powerstrip for now :frowning:

Unfortunately, this seems to be not a driver issue, but HE Zigbee system problem with a lot of new Tuya devices that use a new Zigbee module.

The video is shown in low resolution and I am not sure on the exact manufacturer ID, can you please copy and paste all the information from the device web page Data section? (model/manufacturer/applicationId)


Thanks for looking into this @kkossev ...!
Attaching the Device config screenshot. (Hopefully the screenshot will be clear after the upload)

Update:- Had to download the image from the portal, to see it clearly.

Thank you @stmstratum ,
Your device is definitely the same as the one that I have ( _TZ3000_cfnprab5, application version 64). The only difference is that yours has Australian standard sockets, while mine is the EU sockets version.

If there is any progress on finding a solution I will let you know.

Help needed - Zigbee devices that do not pair correctly in HE

The UseeLink SM-S0306 is Zigbee 3.0, which I'm pretty sure that Hubitat has decided is not important. That is probably the answer.
