Error adding zigbee2mqtt device

[prohand]

Hello,

I can successfully integrate some devices but for the following two, it shows me an error message:

Do you have any idea what the problem is?
I checked the Gladys and z2m logs but I don’t have any more info

Hi @prohand

This is a known issue — basically Zigbee2mqtt sends us the same feature twice (we see the « decimal brightness » duplicated on these two sensors)

We had identified the issue here:

Conflict lors de l'ajout d'un device Z2M

@Sescandell @_Will_71 Je ne retrouve plus le sujet mais il me semble que @cicoub13 est allé créer une issue côté Zigbee2mqtt pour comprendre pourquoi certain appareils exposaient 2 fois l’illuminance sous 2 attributs différents ? La solution de ne garder que « illuminance_lux » ne fonctionne pas, car certains appareils n’exposent que « illuminance » 2 options : Soit le souci est côté Zigbee2mqtt Soit de notre côté on créé un « cas spécial » pour les appareils qui ont les deux et on dé-dupliq…

I think @cicoub13 contacted Zigbee2mqtt (tell me if I’m wrong)

If nothing moves on their side, we’ll have to code a small fix in Gladys to « de-duplicate these features »

Thanks for the quick reply.
Indeed, I hadn’t noticed that it was there twice

I suppose we don’t even have a small temporary tweak in the meantime?

Yes but it’s really very hacky I’m not sure if you have the skills

I’ll try anyway.

You open your browser console on the page, after clicking create the device and seeing the red error

(right-click → inspect element)

You find the request that fails (in red), it should be a POST for the device.

You right-click the request → copy as fetch

Then you paste what you get into a text editor, and remove the duplicated brightness feature from the JSON.

Then you re-paste the request into the console:

(non-contractual screenshot, I picked a request at random)

Then press enter to replay the request.

Sorry, this is really a hack and not at all in Gladys’s philosophy what I’m proposing, but right now I’m swamped and unfortunately we have very few active devs on the project at this time of year, I feel a bit alone

[prohand]

Thanks, it’s good, I was able to do the procedure without any problems

The thread is progressing on the Gladys side:

Salut à tous ! J’ai fais une PR pour prévenir ce soucis côté Gladys en attendant que côté Zigbee2mqtt il y ait du mouvement sur ce souci de fonctionnalité dupliquée. @cicoub13 @AlexTrovato Si vous avez 2 minutes pour me faire une petite review je suis preneur !
