My cc2531 zigbee coordinator got fried last weekend together with another device, presumably due to some kind of power surge. So I’m in the process of re-pairing all my devices.
The Benexmart A60, ST64, or G95 (Zigbee ID: “TS0502B”; “_TZ3210_psgq7ysz” TS0502A) (also sold under the brand zemismart) turned out to be extremely difficult to get into pairing mode. I didn’t bother keeping the manual, so I turned to google and found complaints about this in Amazon reviews and on Aliexpress. Some reviews said they took hours.
I have 4 of these bulbs… If I’d even be able to get one to pair, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to remember the exact way I played around with the light switch.
So I used a zigbee smart plug and made a small script in home assistant to be able to strategically approach this and make sure I could replicate if if I found a working method.
Here is the script yaml (you'll need to create the helpers yourself): (click for more details)On the dashboard i played around with this.
The bulbs themselves are totally worth it. Haven’t found any better cheap bulbs that are able to produce light THIS warm. Just a total pain to pair. Hopefully this is useful for someone.
