I’ve made a ZigBee thermostat (based on nRF52840 dongle), Problem is default driver works, but requires manual refresh to update readings from my device. The device has paired itself as “ZigBee Thing”, than I changed driver to default “thermostat setpoint” (default for thermostat). Now it displays current temperature, mode and setpoint. Updating setpoint from connected phone via app. works (changes on the device), however, updated setpoint temperature from the device doesn’t show on the phone or in the hub until manual refresh forces it to display.
Cursor AI suggested making my own driver, which I’m failing to install on my hub.
Hi! A few important points to clarify based on what you’re seeing:
If the device was added as a generic Zigbee Thing, it was not configured to report attributes, which explains why values only update when a refresh is triggered.
Switching the device to a new driver does not guarantee that the device will go through the configuration lifecycle again. Changing drivers alone won’t automatically reconfigure attribute reporting.
When you use Refresh, SmartThings sends ReadAttribute commands, which causes the physical device to return its current value, but this is different from proper attribute reporting being set up.
If you’ve already created your own driver, could you please let us know at which step you’re running into issues when trying to install or apply it?
If you haven’t created one yet, there are already several community drivers that may help with this use case.
Thank you very much!
However, I couldn’t find any links to get the thermostat driver, you’re suggesting.
If possible, could you please reply with a link (git-hub OK).
Thanks again!!!
