I have a few Zigbee devices going through a Sonoff switch flashed with Tasmota. I originally used ZHA but ran into issues where devices would go offline and require a reset. I read that using Zigbee2Tasmota would resolve those issues and so far it’s worked well.
Today I added a few Zigbee light bulbs. I was able to set them up as switches relatively easily but then I couldn’t control their brightness. I switched them to lights and now am unable to read the state. I just get Unknown. Here is what I have in configuration.yaml:
light:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Basement Light Bulb 1"
state_topic: "tele/Zigbee/Basement_Light_Bulb_1/SENSOR"
state_value_template: "{{ value_json['ZbReceived']['Basement_Light_Bulb_1']['Power'] }}"
command_topic: "cmnd/Zigbee/ZbSend"
payload_on: '{"device":"Basement_Light_Bulb_1","send":{"Power":"On"} }'
payload_off: '{"device":"Basement_Light_Bulb_1","send":{"Power":"Off"} }'
availability_topic: "tele/Zigbee/LWT"
payload_available: "Online"
payload_not_available: "Offline"
optimistic: false
qos: 0
And here is the message coming over via Zigbee2Tasmota:
tele/Zigbee/Basement_Light_Bulb_1/SENSOR: b'{"ZbReceived":{"Basement_Light_Bulb_1":{"Device":"0x8556","Name":"Basement_Light_Bulb_1","Power":"On","Endpoint":1,"LinkQuality":55}}}'
Any advice on how to troubleshoot? Is there a way to see what value Home Assistant is pulling?
