is it normal that ligths are sometimes not visible to the deconz software and produce error in pimatic?
will open a issue on the deconz git repository. Hope they can fix this, or change the behaviour of that…

Hey @Felix-Haverkamp,
I have the problem that after a restart from deconz all devices which are not reachable, for example if the power is off, are removed from the frontend.
But I have not tested if it’s always or only sometimes. -
I’m looking forward to buy the raspbee shield and some xiaomi aqara wall switches (to control existing lights), some ‘virtual’ switches (to control smart switches) and together with some zigbee/wifi smart plugs but I have a question:
Is this plugin able to change the status of a smartplug and wall switch (that is not a light that dims, but only on/off)? The idea is to control the smart plug from pimatic given the status of the virtual switch, and also be able to turn on/off the wall switch.
Thanks

@mat1990dj
Thats no problem. The deconz software supports smart-plugs.
Plugs are exposed as light for On/Off.
I have now also ordered an osram smart switch for testing.But I will create a new simple On/Off device for plugs, because dimming makes no sense,
and add a power consumption variable for devices they support it. -
Today my Aqara temp/humidity/air pressure sensor arrived.
Works fine with this plugin, but the shown air pressure is wrong. It shows 9.9kPa instead of 99kPa. In the Phoscon App the value is given by 990hPa what sounds right.In general I suggest to show the value in hPa instead of kPa. This is more common.

Today the window contacts arrived. Is it possible to add x-Attribute options for the RaspBeeContacSensor? I don’t want to see the “online” status. And hiding it by CSS is not the best way in my opinion.

It is already in the code base, but it has not been released yet as far as I can see.

And the bug with kPa vs. hPa?

See https://github.com/treban/pimatic-raspbee/pull/18
This may not be the final solution as I think it is preferable to provide the value in hPa rather than kPa. For this the base measurement unit as part of the attribute devlation needs to be changed accordingly"It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.", Hofstadter's Law

I also saw that the window contacts provide the temperature. It would be nice to get this value in pimatic too.

hey guys. i’ve been busy lately. i’ll be releasing a new version soon.

Hi guys
Had some problems compiling and installing everything, but it’s running now. Where can I find the api-key I should use in the plugin.
Regards JanFound it
Had to install a rest app on my iPhone. After that I was able to get the api key and the plugin starts. Now I have to see what lights work. Hope the INNR ones do. -
@jee67 The Plugin provides also the possibility to autodetect the RasBee Modul.
-
Unlock your RasBee Gateway on the Phoscon or Wireless Light Controll page
Phoscon
Wireless Light Control
.
. -
Press the autodetect button on the Pimatic device page
.
.
That’s it.
Afterwards you should see some devices down below recognized by the raspbee plugin. Perhaps you have to do this twice if the api key is requested by the first time.

Hello, I have a question. Maybe a stupid question.
Do I need to have another Raspberry for the RaspBee Shield, or can I run the shield on my running Raspberry? I am currently using an RPi3.
I’m using some of the first pins on the sockets. E.g. for I2C. So it will have to be a second Raspberry.
A confirmation of my consideration would still be nice."Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect." 09-28-2003, LINUS TORVALDS (http://www.nytimes.com)

Hello everyone
I’m using the Conbee USB adapter and it’s working fine. I also have INNR bulbs and after connecting them through the Phoscon app, they appear in Pimatic and can be controlled by Pimatic
Now I also would like to add a Trust ZYCT-202. This device is not recognized by the Phoscon app or Pimatic. Does anyone know if it’s supported?

Hello, I think it’s a very good idea to have made this plugin for RaspBee.
Unfortunately, I have a problem (maybe several?) and hope to get help here.
My plan: I want to use the RasBee Gateway to control lamps and sensors with pimatic.
My first Raspberry installation was Headless. Via the Web GUI I registered a lamp and a sensor.
1st problem: I can’t find a way to unlock the gateway in the WebGUI. I think that’s why I didn’t get a connection to Pimatic.
2nd problem: then my guess is, I have to unlock the in RaspberryGUI /deCONZ.
Therefore Rasbian with GUI on the SD card, deConz software on it, xrdp on it, and so on.
In the RasbianGUI I tried different possibilities to start the “deCONZ Software”.
Unfortunately also without success. If I start the “deCONZ-autostart.sh” via this GUI nothing happens. It does not start. If I do the same with “deCONZ” I get this window. But without connection to RasBee.
Now I’m kind of at the end of my rope. And also Google doesn’t help anymore. Unfortunately, I probably only lack some knowledge of programming, or too little knowledge of the interrelationships.

@Thrusty have you already tried this?
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/4254/new-plugin-pimatic-raspbee/64As I know you do not need a gui to get pimatic connected to the deconz software. All needed functions are available by the webpage.
Starting the gui can somehow be a pain. I have also realized that. Try to stop every service and then start deconz. Mind that there is a problem with x11 so you might not be able to get the gui running via remote desktop connection!
sudo systemctl stop deconz sudo systemctl stop deconz-gui sudo deCONZ

I have seen this link, but unfortunately it didn‘t help.
The other one unfortunately only brought me thispi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl stop deconz pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl stop deconz-gui pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo deconz sudo: deconz: command not found pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo deCONZ QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Aborted

With these installation steps it should work without x display. Install
There is also a topic about headless support.
I’m using a headless environment without problems.Unlocking the deconz gateway for external API access such pimatic use, is possible over the webpage of deconz service.
An other good solution I’m using now is docker. See here
