External integration - Zigbee supervision

Development
1

Hello,

Tomorrow evening I will start developing a monitoring integration for Zigbee.

Indeed, as seen in this topic, the battery sensor indications are unreliable:

It is therefore necessary to be alerted when a sensor no longer shows signs of life :grinning_face:

I’ll keep you posted here when I have a stable version available in the store :wink:

The integration is available :slight_smile: :

https://github.com/prohand/gladys-z2m-devices-monitor

Please read the documentation to understand how it works:

A scene must be created to be alerted according to what is indicated here:

https://github.com/prohand/gladys-z2m-devices-monitor/blob/main/docs/fr.md#ĂȘtre-alertĂ©--crĂ©er-la-scĂšne

Don’t hesitate to report your comments / bugs to me :wink:

Integration installed and scene built in 5 minutes, that’s great. And largely thanks to the hyper-clear explanations.

Well done @prohand and thanks, because it’s going to be very useful for me to no longer be fooled by a â€č sleeping â€ș sensor. :+1:

Small bug on my production instance that I didn’t have on my dev:

Thanks :slight_smile:

Attention on the scene I just corrected a typo where you must not forget to recover the state:

Yes. I did it instinctively, and then I thought I should let you know so you could adjust. But you were faster :+1:

Hi @prohand and thanks for your work!

Lazy question
 I have a lot of devices, I can’t see myself adding them one by one to gladys in your integration. Could we add an « Add all Â» button?

Hi :slight_smile:

Here is the AI’s response:

I checked the functionality on the Gladys side before answering, because there is a fundamental constraint.

The « Add Â» button on this screen belongs to the core of Gladys, not to the integration. The Discovery screen (front/
/external-integration/discover-page/) displays a card per published device, and each button makes a POST /api/v1/device with the user’s JWT. The host API for integrations (/api/integration/v1/
) only exposes status, discovered_device, device (read), state, config, container
 — no device creation route. An integration can propose devices, but never create them. Therefore, an « Add All Â» button in the integration configuration screen is not technically possible.

I’ll let you create a feature request following this feedback :slight_smile:

I’m not sure this request is very useful if it involves the core of Gladys. I’ll just take the time to click :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello @prohand. In your integration, would you be able to manage the following things:

  • in your â€č supervision â€ș tab:
    • restart the Zigbee manager (and it would be great if it were accessible in a scene, to trigger it regularly)
    • enable/disable pairing
  • in your â€č device â€ș tab:
    • rename a device (i.e., give it a name different from 0x
 in the Zigbee interface, and have Gladys take it into account to not lose data history, and usage in scenes and dashboards)

Hi @StephaneB

This integration is only for monitoring Zigbee elements.

Your two points could, however, I think, be the subject of an improvement request for the zigbee2mqtt integration :wink:

12

I can’t connect to this integration. My broker’s address is IP:1884, and I think the application wants it to be IP:1883.
I get this response.
MQTT Broker unreachable at —.—.-.—:1884 (connect ENETUNREACH 0.0.7.92:1883).

13

I just pushed a fix
Actually, you had to put mqtt:// before the address
With the fix, both are possible now :ok_hand:

14

Connected as soon as I did your update, my 25 devices are being monitored. Thanks.

15

Same for me, everything is ready!!
Thanks for the work!

Hi @guim31,

I’m in the same situation as you: already 55 Zigbee gadgets, and more are coming
 So, a bulk add would be great :slight_smile:

Hello,

This is related to the core and not the plugin as indicated here, a feature request needs to be made:

18

Version 2 is out with widgets, triggers and actions :slight_smile:

19

Great, I’ve done the update, and I found the integration widget again, it’s very clear.

I’ll let it run for a few days to see how it behaves :slight_smile:

However, I didn’t understand the intermediate step requiring adding Gladys in the « discovery Â» tab.

Couldn’t this be done automatically?

20

Thanks for the feedback :slight_smile:
I’m not sure I understand your sentence :sweat_smile:
Could you rephrase it please? :slight_smile:

Edit: I think I understand, adding via the discovery step is necessary here because we can add multiple devices
