Zigbee Dimmer pairing issues

[kkossev]

Hi Matt,

Your dimmer will not work with HE inbuilt generic Zigbee dimmer drivers. It uses Tuya specific Zigbee commands, so the first thing to do is to install this driver :

[RE-RELEASE] Tuya Zigbee Dimmer Module (w/ healthStatus)

This is a new thread on the "Tuya Zigbee Dimmer Module" driver. Originally published by Matt H @fc352bf0a6929e9fa80f on December 2020 in the [Release] Tuya/Lonsonho 1-gang and 2-gang zigbee dimmer module driver thread, the driver was later extended to support many new Tuya/Moes/Girier/Lonsonho dimmer models. These updates were spread in different forum threads that became difficult to follow. Note that the URL of the re-released driver code is different than the original - now it is : https:/…

I noticed that the device was actually starting the initialising process during pairing but always timing out. I tried pairing with clear keys and avoiding 3.0 repeaters, but still no luck.

This is the second problem that you need to overcome. Currently ( HE platform version 2.3.9.x), you can use this workaround to pair the Zigbee 3.0 device successfully with the C-8 hub - Double Luck voodoo .

Now the device won’t even get into initialise stage during pairing. Problem now is that I can’t work out how to factory reset the dimmer. I’ve tried turning off the breaker for 10-30 seconds but that doesn’t seem to change anything. Can’t find any reset button under the glass panel

Are you keeping the leaflet that came with the device? There should be some instructions on how to put the dimmer into pairing mode. It may be pushing one of the buttons 5 times on/off and holding it down on the 6-th press, or something similar... The reset procedures are specific for each different device.

Install the right driver first, then try pairing again.
