Hi,
is it possible to support disabling Leds from Z2M?
Or at least from Webinterface

KR Christian

Hello.

I have bought your ZigStar Ethernet GW which is working very well and I really appreciate it (it's working inside a DIN rail box).
It is absolutely worth the money. Great work!

Even the MQTT functionality (sending information of the GW itself) comes in very handy.
I have noticed the following behavior while having the GW running:

1. socket report over MQTT
   When the GW was started and zigbee2mqtt is online, the GW reports socket as ON. Unfortunately after almost 5 days the GW reports socket OFF, but zigbee2mqtt is still online. Even when I check the ZigstarGW web interface, it states there socket is online by a green check mark.
   When I restart zigbee2mqtt or the GW it reports socket ON again. But 5 days later it reports socket OFF.
   All other MQTT reports, e.g. temperature, are still working fine.

2. Web interface of the GW
   About ten days after the socket is reported as OFF the web interface of the GW becomes unreachable.

I tried to reboot the GW be sending out "ZigStarGW-9549/cmd {cmd:"rst_esp"}" but it didn't help in both cases. I have to power it off and on to get the web interface back and I have to restart zigbee2mqtt to get the socket state.

3. restart Zigbee module
   Because of 1) and 2) I even tried the MQTT command ZigStarGW-9549/cmd {cmd:"rst_zig"} to restart the Zigbee module. I tested it several times and after that the Zigbee system stopped its communication. I had to take off the GW's power again.

Could you please help me with these questions:
Is it possible to implement:

• a MQTT set command what reboots the entire GW?
  So I could be able to reboot it periodically.
• a MQTT get command which gets the actual socket state?
  So I could send it out of my smart home system periodically and pull the information actively.
• What does the MQTT command "{cmd:"rst_zig"} - restart Zigbee module" exactly do?

Thank you very much and kind regards

I'm a little confused about what to use.
There is a possibility ESPHOME and there is another version of the firmware (https://github.com/xyzroe/ZigStarGW-FW).
Which one is better to use?

Some people have problems with false activation of emergency mode when their local internet gateway does not respond to ping from ZigStar.

Add the ability to disable ping control or completely disable emergency mode.

Unfortunately, it always happens that you assign a password and forget it. Without resetting the device, it would be good to have the possibility to reset it.

On the new Olizig POE, DS18b20 sensor is not polled. Most likely it is due to the configuration,
the OliZig gets borad id = 1, but when querying the sensor, board id = 2 is expected. See below:

Hi. Faced with a problem - addon z2m does not start after its last update. The settings of the addon are not changed. It's standard: port: tcp://ip:6638. All available to me ways to fix the problem did not help. I checked the connection on a clean HA instance with a clean z2m addon with a new network on a new channel. I cleared NVRAM of the device/ Re-flashed it with the latest firmware. The result is always the same.

How can I fix it?

I'm using 2 LAN POE coordinators in my 2 Z2M instances. Changed their hostnames and topics, but the ESP32 MQTT monitor is under conflict because it claims the device is already conected (see the broker log)

It seems it keeps using the standard device name "ZigStarGW-7348" for both disregarding the change in hostnames

First coordinator

Second one

It looks like ow_temperature is only conditionally set here:

But it's always sending this: https://github.com/xyzroe/ZigStarGW-FW/blob/main/src/mqtt.cpp#L409

I think that's what is ultimately causing this to bubble up in home assistant:

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.template
Source: helpers/template.py:1822
First occurred: 2:10:43 PM (163 occurrences)
Last logged: 4:52:47 PM

Template variable warning: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ow_temperature' when rendering '{{ value_json.ow_temperature }}'

I'm not positive what the fix is, but it seems we shouldn't be publishing that template value when it's not present in value_json

Hi.

I think it could be really useful to have support for BTHome (passive reporting of BLE advertising packets), since the ESP32 RF remains otherwise unused.
In ESPHome it's really easy to add:

esp32_ble_tracker:

bluetooth_proxy:
  active: true

but IIUC ESPHome support is discouraged.

Tks,
Diego

In WIFI mode, it cannot automatically reconnect to WIFI, when the WIFI AP restarts.

Hello,

I bought the Zigstar UZG01 to stabilize my zigbee network.
So far, things are better but not perfect yet as I had a few hic-hups.
Since my automation rely on some zigbee device, I want to tend to zero fault which is why I will spend time reporting problems in the hope to improve the product hence my network stability.

All of a sudden my zigbee network stopped working.
I checked the Z2M logs and all lines going on error at one point in time (2024-03-22 15:03:06).

I first restarted Z2M but it failed to attach to the UZG:

I then connected to the UZG web interface.
All seemed fine (pages where refreshing correctly).

I went to "System and Tools" then "System Control" and clicked "Zigbee Restart".
I then restarted Z2M and all went fine.

The UZG01 uptime was around 7d on Ethernet.

The Device information is:
Model: UZG-01
ESP32 Firmware ver: 0.1.5 (2023-09-06 12:01:02.723464)
ESP32 version: ESP32-D0WDQ6
ESP32 temperature: 47.00 °C
ESP32 frequency: 2 cores @ 240 MHz
ESP32 flash size: 4 Mb, external
ESP32 Free heap: 189 / 289 KiB
CC2652P version: CC2652PP1FRGZR
CC2652P flash size: 352 Kb

I believe I should upgrade the UZG01.

If you have no idea what could have gone wrong, what information can I provide next time before taking actions ?
Should I have taken a look at the "System and Tools" / "System Tools" / "Debug console" ?

Thank you in advance,

Pierre

It seems like my GW (Zigstar LAN Gateway with 0.6.4 fw)) fails to boot correctly after power outage when the power returns.

I have done some testing and it seems like the GW is unable to boot properly if the switch its hooked up to not gets enough time to boot BEFORE the GW. That little green led on the ethernet port just glows a little at this moment.
After the switch is up and running i can power cycle the GW again and the led immediately lights up fully and connects.

Is there any solution for this? Suggestions?

After the update the status for my Ethernet connection says it's not connected.

However, I am browsing the web interface on the IP address i configured on the Ethernet port.

I can ping the unit on both the Ethernet IP and the WIFI IP

see screenshot for details:

At first everything worked fine. The values of dallas were about on the level of ESP Sensor. The coordinator was not even touched. Still works fine, only dallas sensor no longer and delivers only 0

I'm trying to have zigstar GW connect to mosquitto MQTT server running as HA addon (HA supervised) and getting these errors

2022-09-07 22:23:49: Client <unknown> disconnected, not authorised.
2022-09-07 22:24:34: New connection from on port 1883.

I tried these settings
(password is from home assistant integration where it says core-mosquitto etc.)

and also

while having config like this

zigbee2mqtt connects and communicates no problem whatsoever

mercenaruss/zigstar_gateways#20

Any ideas why it does not connect?

Hi !

So, wich should i choose ?
What's the difference ?

thx.

https://github.com/xyzroe/ZigStarGW-FW/releases/tag/0.6.8

Tried plug/unplug usb cable 5 times less than 2 seconds but without any success
Am I understood your instruction about reseting general settings right?

While the network coordinator is loaded with constant incoming traffic (at least 1 message every second) outgoing requests from z2m are sent with a delay.
There is no delay in receiving incoming packages in any conditions.

FW version: 0.6.0

Если сетевой координатор будет загружен постоянно входящим трафиком каждую секунду и в этом момент делать запросы на исходящие действия то действия выполняются с таймингом задержкой. FW version : 0.6.0

When MQTT server is unavailable the web interface of ESP32 freezes in every MQTT connection retry.

Original post

@xyzroe Please consider adding Zeroconf DNS TXT Reconds parameters in your firmware for automatic ZHA network discovery, see:

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zha-automatic-network-discovery-of-zigbee-coordinator-bridges-gateways-ethernet-wifi-network-adapters-that-support-zeroconf/293300

This was previously requested for the original ZigStar gateway firmware here:

mercenaruss/zigstar_gateways#2

As you can see there, Home Assistant needs not only a service to be presented via Zeroconf but also parameters via Zeroconf DNS TXT records which include radio_type, baud_rate, and data_flow_control, which ZHA config flow use during initial configuration. Once your firmware provide those via Zeroconf then patches can be submitted to Home Assistant core which both makes its Zeroconf whitelist it for discovery as well as pass it along to the ZHA domain which uses the DNS TXT record parameters and puts them into the config flow to ZHA. What this achieved is that the user get a pop-up notification that a new device has been discovered and if they use they can go in to get your adapter automatically configured which makes the whole process very user-friendly to new users.

Since you based your new firmware on ZiGate-Ethernet you might also be interested in this same request posted to fairecasoimeme:

fairecasoimeme/ZiGate-Ethernet#7

PS: Please note I'm just a big fan Zigbee based hardware and of the ZHA integration in Home Assistant (as well as the zigpy project which it depends on) but do not actually own a ZigStar. My only wish with this request is to make it easier for users to get started.

It would be great to have a nice to have function regarding the update functionality.
Currently when calling the page comes a toaster with the notice about a new version.
This would also be very nice as a sensor in Home Assistant.
Possibly like WLED: an update button that directly starts the update process.

Hey

We're currently like to be able to download the firmware for cc2538/cc2652 from the internet and flash it to the controller just by using the ZigStarGW-FW WebUI.
To do that, we would be happy to fork it, implement it and if course do a pullrequest on your main repo to give it back to the community. So it's not exactly a feature request but just a request for information on your thoughts about this.

My main question is:
I currently suspect that your reason to develop a the firmware downloader in python and flash over TCP is that you would like to make it compatible to other controllers without touching the firmware, but just patching the code on python level.
Did you have any other reasons not to do it in the Arduino Firmware which I currently don't see?

Does anyone have the same problem? The ethernet can actually connect, but it shows disconnection.
