zigbee2mqtt device gone crazy

Configuration
1

Good evening everyone.

This evening I’m coming back from the weekend and when I return home I have about 10 seconds to disable alarm mode, otherwise the alarm sounds and a red light flashes in my entrance.

I waited a bit too long and to my great surprise… no alarm.

I try to deactivate surveillance mode, I do receive my Telegram notification saying it’s deactivated… but my red light is blinking frantically!
I’m writing to you and it’s been blinking for about 40 minutes…

It blinks even after a reboot of my RPi :sweat_smile:

My Gladys logs are totally flooded with this:

2022-10-23T21:01:40+0200 <warn> handleMqttMessage.js:101 () Zigbee2mqtt device Spot Couleur Entrée, feature color_mode not configured in Gladys.

I imagine there’s a link, since it’s the Spot in question that’s blinking!

Here is the scene that’s supposed to make it blink during an intrusion:

Any idea what’s causing the problem?

Hi @guim31 !

Has your scene ever worked correctly?

Are you sure about your conditions in the scene? (Do you mean the scene isn’t executing as it should?)

3

Yes yes the stage has worked very well so far. The last time it was used and started up was about 10 days ago.

4

Have you looked at the values of your variables SURVEILLANCE and Intrusion?

5

I don’t know how I can view them except via the toggles on one of my dashboards. Both were ON, so I deduce 1

6

Don’t you have a second stage that’s competing?

7

Ok, so I don’t see what the problem is, the scene works as expected then?

I thought the same thing, because several scenes are « connected » to each other… But I haven’t found anything so far (not much time either)

@pierre-gilles I think I didn’t give enough info to make myself better understood!
Logically when the alarm starts (flashing + audible alarm) I can deactivate it by using a SURVEILLANCE toggle.
But this time, even when SURVEILLANCE was set to 0 the spot kept flashing.

No idea from here, I think there must be a logic problem in your scenes :slight_smile:

Try rereading it with a clear head to see if you can spot why it would do that.

I can suggest adding « logs » to your scenes by sending Telegram messages at each step to see what’s going on and the values of each sensor

I’ll have to wait before testing, but sending the « logs » via Telegram is a good idea! :+1: Thanks!

I think it’s @lmilcent who does that everywhere, and it’s really not a bad idea!

Yes, I confirm, it’s very useful for understanding the execution logic and the mistakes we made!
