I actually switched my dth to SmartSense Temp/Humidity Sensor cleared and force closed app and after restarting app it shows correctly.
I tried as you suggested but now the battery shows as 0%
I have been using the SmartThings temp/humidity sensor DTH, and I also see battery as 0%. The sensors also seem to drop off but I wonder whether it’s a signal issue to my hub (basement to 3rd floor).
Another issue that I have seen so far is that temperature is only coming through once per hour. Is there a good way to increase the reporting frequency?
In the IDE , I was getting events only after several hours, though in the app, I could see temp changes.
Now the IDE seems to be working better, but I THINK it only shows when a temp change occurs. If that is correct, perhaps your hour is simply that is when a temp change occurs?
I still can’t get the tile in the new app to show anything but “checking status”, though the info is all there if I click on the tile.
That didnt help for me, i have two sensors. Other one is stuck on “Checking status” and other is “Offline” but they both receives temp/humidity and battery status … This is annoying as hell
I just tried to connect my Sonoff SNZB-02. It worked flawlessly on the Sonoff ZBB (bridge) … After connecting to ST Hub (just new from Aeotec) it shows 0.0 C on temperature, 0.0 % on humidity and 0 on battery.
I started with the eZex DTH and later tried the SmartSense as from above. Still the same. After hub restart the sensor is in Checking Status.
So I changed back to the eZex DTH and the ST shows the values again … but zeros again.
This is indeed unwanted situation … having a lot of Sonoff devices and due to statements on Sonoff site I believe in the compatibility … ;-(.
Should I apply a custom DTH from GitHub repo ?
Thanx, Daniel,
try the sonoff temp and humidity sensor dth in IDE. it’s in the thread (about halfway up)
Note that there is “SmartSense Temp/Humidity Sensor” and “SmartSense Temp/Humidity” … One with “sensor” in name, works ! Finally noted this myself
I continue in testing the Sonoff Zigbee devices.
SNZB-03 (motion sensor) - works without issue and despite execution = “CLOUD” the reactions are fast - 1-2seconds max.
With the SNZB-04 (door sensor) I experience lag and status (closed - open) accuracy issues. Status fails to be updated in UI (Android APP or IDE), in automation to a LOCAL device I experience sometime longer lag (couple of seconds with some rare cases excessing 15s). This is a weird situation, since SNZB-04 (using Orvibo Contact Sensor DTH) is indicated as LOCAL and I test it using IKEA Plug (also running LOCAL) execution.
I will report on the Temp/Humidity … after changing battery, just to be sure I won’t mislead anyone.
CHeers, Daniel.
How do you get it to show in F mine only shows in C?
I added one SNZB-02 like “SmartSense Temp/Humidity Sensor” …
It works but while the humidity changes quickly the temperature is very very slow to update (~ 60 min)
Do you have the same issue ?
Nope … In my case I can register the device and assign it to DTH (both types as validated by others), but the device reports all “0” with state “ONLINE”.
I changed device battery to be sure, but status is the same. Possible device/HW failure … since all other report it working well"ish".
Meanwhile I added eWelink Smart Home to my ST hub, added Sonoff Door sensor. All works ok but Sonoff D1 (Dimmer). So I raised a ticket on Itead.
Here’s my experience so far:
-
SNZB-03 motion sensor: works well, very stable, good battery life so far
-
SNZB-04 contact sensor: ok, but randomly disconnects sometimes. Twice in the past ~6 months. removing the battery and reinstalling brings it back. Battery life ok so far.
-
SNZB-02 temp/humidity sensor: i’ve been trying to use this in a kegerator. It was sending values way too frequently (every 30 seconds I think), so I updated the DTH to configure for less frequent reporting. That seemed to help battery consumption, but it tends to disconnect randomly. Could very well be due to being inside a metal fridge, though.
I can confirm.
SNZB-03 motion sensor seems to be stable.
SNZB - 04. I experienced sudden disconnect. Off-On didn’t help, I had to re bind it to the hub (all related automations are lost at that point). After that, the contact sensor works fine. The other contact sensor (same type) works without interruption for 10+days so far.
Today I realized that SNZB-02 temp/humidity sensor don’t trigger on “temperature changes” …
Every day one news …
I’m having trouble getting the contact sensor SNZB-04 to work with my hub v2.
I’m able to pair it to SmartThings, and it automatically adds as a ‘Orvibo Contact Sensor’. But it does not update Open/Close status.
GOT IT WORKING. I paired by ‘scanning devices’ instead of adding ewelink device.
If you have the sensor installed with the DTH SmartSense temperature and humidity, it has different settings for the temperature report according to the manufacturer of the sensor registered in IDE:
- Heiman and different of Frient: report minimum 30s, max 300s if there is a change of 0.1°. The report is always triggered with changes of 1 °.
- Frient: minimum 60s, max 600s and the report is always triggered with temperature changes of 0.1°
If not Frient manufacturer, it should send temperature changes in 5-minute intervals whenever it varies by 0.1 ° minimum or anytime it varies by 1° or more.
Check which manufacturer your sensor is registered in IDE.
Also check with which DTH the sensor was originally registered, since in the Device installation the temperature and battery reports are configured.
If the original DTH configure a report trigger different of 1°, and then you install the Smartsense DTH, it sends a “null”, except for “Frient”, in the temperature change trigger, therefore will keep the original DTH configuration of the report triggering by temperature change.
You can force send information of changes of temperature 0.1° adding “0xA” or “10” in the lines 197 and 210, as it does for “Frient”:
zigbee.temperatureConfig (30, 300, 10)
0.1° = 10
0.2° = 20 …
0.5° = 50 …
1° = 100 … etc …
I do not know if I have explained well, it is not my mother language.
@Giamma,
I have seen in post 83 the code of a DTH for this Temp/Hum. sensor.
If that DTH works well, the SmartSense DTH may not work well the temperature reports and the humidity work well. the temperature reports should be configured as a “Frient” according to the DTH of post 83.
In that DTH the reports are in min. 30s, max. 3600s and always sends changes of 0.1 ° or more
You can test that DTH to see if it works.
The manufacturer registered in IDE is eWeLink.
Now I set the device with DH of post 83.
Result:
In Smartthings app I have “checking status” now I try to test the trigger on temperature changes …
