Hello everyone, here we go, I’ve taken the plunge. First installation of Gladys, I’m testing before leaving HA.
Small issue with the installation of this box in the topic, in MQTT, pairing successful but I only have one entity and I don’t have the one for the button to open or close the door.
Any ideas?
For info, on HA, HA MQTT I have all my entities and it’s functional, but on ZHA, I only have one entity and no button, and of course I’m on ZHA.
I’m not sure I fully understand your need. You mention MQTT, but your module is Zigbee, right?
To work in Gladys, this module needs to be compatible with zigbee2mqtt.
If it is and if not all features are available in Gladys, then we need to integrate them, nothing too complicated.
However, you would need to provide us with the z2m page with all the features to see which ones are missing.
And in zigbee2mqtt, if you press the button, it works, because I have doubts about your screenshots.
Because we can see the Offline status of your device and N/A values on some exposes.
Can you take a screenshot of zigbee2mqtt in the State tab of your device?
The first (exposition) and last (state) screenshots are indeed the most useful. And so I think it’s not yet integrated into Gladys (I’m not a developer and I could be wrong, but it looks very much like it given the behavior).
Happy to see that you managed to pair it correctly.
As @mutmut pointed out, this device’s reports are not yet supported by Gladys.
I’ll look into it this week as soon as I have 5 minutes to integrate them.
I owe you an apology. You came with a real migration project, the community welcomed you, the problem was well diagnosed, and then nothing for 9 days. That’s my responsibility, not the responsibility of those who helped you here. It’s my job to ensure that a request like yours is followed up, and it slipped through the cracks. I’m in the process of changing how we track these topics so this doesn’t happen again.
Now, let’s get down to business, in two steps.
1. Unblock your garage door today (5 minutes)
While waiting for native support, you can control the door with a scene:
Go to Scenes then New Scene, name it for example « Garage Door »
Add the action « Send a Zigbee2mqtt message » with:
Topic: zigbee2mqtt/YOUR_DEVICE_NAME/set (the exact name of your device in Zigbee2MQTT)
Message: {"trigger": true}
Add the Scene widget to your dashboard. You now have a button that opens and closes the door, just like on HA.
2. The real fix
Your device exposes trigger and garage_door_contact, and these two exposes are not yet in our Zigbee2MQTT mapping table. That’s why you only saw one entity. I’m adding it natively (button + door state sensor): it will be in the next release, by the end of the week. I’ll repost here as soon as it’s online so you can test it by simply updating Gladys.
I would completely understand if you stay on HA after this experience. But if you want to give your Gladys install another chance by the end of the week, your garage door will be fully supported, and I would love to have your test feedback.
Sorry again for the silence, and thanks for reporting the problem with so many details, that’s exactly what allows us to fix it.
