@v1per you need the aqara gateway.

@sweebee Thanks for taking the initiative on this ZigBee topic. I think it is a great idea to help users to understand about what they can get with the different products/brands and to better understand the odds and ends of the underlying technology.

@sweebee
Thanks for the explanation, BodySensor is a motion detector or recognizes its people when they are e.g. sitting. -
@v1per its just a motion sensor (PIR)

Nice topic
Still waiting for the ultimate wireless non-433 Mhz device : wireless, same size as KaKu, 2-wire and dimm function. Unfortunately they don’t seem to existLike my projects and help?

@koffienl yea me too. I want do ditch all 433mhz devices. But for some I can’t. Like the kitchen light which uses nice large bulbs that I don’t want to replace with hue or tradfri. So still using a build in kaku dimmer.

Yup, same here. In the living room are 2 ceiling lamps with each 4 GU10 bulbs. Replacing these for something with zigbee like would result in buying 8(!) bulbs. Expensive because the wireless hardware is mostly put in the bulb instead of something like KaKu.
In total I have about 25 to 30 GU LED bulbs, driven with just 3 KaKu devices. A lot cheaper than separate wireless bulbsLike my projects and help? Consider donating electroneum etnjwAKGPqF6omQWRmpp9u2BPyVDG9VuyRQjNJ1S8yfBdfR9qeUQ46kRy8KS2CNqbpNLRrsgmNW6F2TMzxmZgPrh6KctrkrYbm

Doesn’t the Fibaro actors work with zigbee? Some friends are using in this a z-wave dongle.

As far as I rememeber: fibaro uses 3-wire system and te fibaro hardware is quite expensive

Downsides of Aquara
- It is not possible to disable the cloud data service. The device frequently sends data to the cloud and is calling at home. Functionality of the device appears to be degraded when the internet connectivity is blocked according to user reports.
I think this is important to mention as it constitutes a security risk and data privacy issue

Are you sure?
Never heard about sensors not working properly after blocking internet access for the gateay in the router.
When you use 3rd party software/scripts to talk and listen to the gateway you can completely uninstall the MiHome app from your phone.Like my projects and help? Consider donating electroneum etnjwAKGPqF6omQWRmpp9u2BPyVDG9VuyRQjNJ1S8yfBdfR9qeUQ46kRy8KS2CNqbpNLRrsgmNW6F2TMzxmZgPrh6KctrkrYbm

mwittig is right. The temp sensors makes some trouble when you block GW internet access. The temp went 100°C for a while or the humidity and pressure goes to 0%. The problem occurs 4-5 times per day
Since yesterday I moved to sweebees Aqara plugin. He filters the incorrect value. With the plugin it seems to be okay to block the access. -
Added the Chinese connection to the downsides. And yes my plugin checks for valid sensor outputs like the temp and humidity.

Hi,
a tip for your zigbee topic.
My pimatic work with the raspbee-bridge-system of Dresden-Elektronik over the hue- plugin.Here is a overview of my devices in the “deCONZ” webinterface.
and here in pimatic.
The hue- plugin make the remoutecontrol and dimmer to light groups.
I have this hardware
from Amazon: raspbee 35 €
from Ikea: Remoute Control set with Bulb 25 € / Dimmer 10 €
from Amazon: innrA 15 €
from Philips: no friends of Hue (works only without remoute) 75- 85 €MfG.
Pimatic, my hobby.

What about these dirt cheap ZigBee dongles offered for 10 Euros on ALI?
These dongles are mainly based on the TI CC2531 module and it would be nice to have a working solution for that. It seem some guys in the Openhab community made some progress here. There is a Java driver which appears to rule them all - https://github.com/zsmartsystems/com.zsmartsystems.zigbee. Well, apparently that’s just the client part which implements the serial driver communication. The tricky bit perhaps is to flash these dongles with the right firmware which is said to be available on the TI web site. Does anybody have experience with this?

Added some more devices and added info about the pimatic-raspbee plugin.
@mwittig I think raspbee is the way to go now.

hello is it posible to instal the raspbee on the same pi as where pimatic is install because piratic is not starting because the web server from the cons is already running it is getting a conflict

Yes, it is possible, but you need to change the port assignment either for the deconz service or for pimatic.

@justice
change the init script:/etc/systemd/system/deconz.service
you can add start parameters:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --http-port=3535 --upnp=0
as suggested by mwittig change the http port.
i also disabled upnp to prevent conflict with other SSDP service. (upnp=0)
platform minimal is for headless mode.
