First try: Device not recognized _TZE204_myd45weu and empty exposes definitions

[gianarb]

Thank you for your work. I am new to Zigbee, so I am a bit overwhelmed, and I am not sure what the right expectation is. Most likely, I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what to look for.

I have Home Assistant running with the Mosquitto and the MQTT integration connected. Everything looks up and running, zigbee2mqtt started, and I connected my first device, a soil sensor I bought from AliExpress.

Jun 18 12:12:08 snowflake zigbee2mqtt[26267]: Zigbee2MQTT:warn  2024-06-18 12:12:08: Received message from unsupported device with Zigbee model 'TS0601' and manufacturer name '_TZE204_myd45weu'
Jun 18 12:12:08 snowflake zigbee2mqtt[26267]: Zigbee2MQTT:warn  2024-06-18 12:12:08: Please see: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/advanced/support-new-devices/01_support_new_devices.html

It does not expose any value: The Expose tab says "Empty exposes definition".

I did the process as explained in the tutorial.

When I try to send commands via Dev Console I get this error:

error: z2m: EventBus error 'Publish/mqttMessage': Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toZigbee')

HA does not recognize it as a device and looking at Mosquitto I only see the zigbee2mqtt topic. I am not sure if I am right but if I understood correctly in order to see a device in home assistant it should write to a topic prefixed with homeassistant by default. This is probably a consequence of the device timing out.

This is the ZigBee hub I am using, and I didn't flash a firmware, I am using the stock one:

Since I am new to all of this I am not sure about what to do next

Mosquitto 2.0.18
Zigbee2MQTT 1.38.0

[gianarb]

I bet it is something related to all of this typescript over here, but I am not sure about who to validate that:

https://github.com/Slaw3km/zigbee-herdsman-converters/blob/c56a3781c83fe2d47dd337da918a149e6c8fa9df/src/devices/tuya.ts

[gianarb]

Ok I figured out a good conversion so far, I am gonna keep digging because now I figured out the full cycle and if I can get to something useful I will submit the converstion to herdsman

[gianarb]

I also figured out that I need to update herdsman since the work for this sensor is all done and released

I have the same problem - see my post on Home Assistant forum:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tuya-soil-sensor-not-recognized-by-zigbee2mqtt/741851/9

Did you figure out how to update converters in Home Assistant?

[gianarb]

I am not at home now so I am not sure how precise I can be. But it is not a problem with home assistant in my case but with the version of ZigBee2mqtt that depends on a conversion of the converter that does not have this device. At the moment btw I copied the Js conversation from the converter repository into my server and I linked it to ZigBee2mqtt as described by the article I got from the logs. As soon as I get the next ZigBee2mqtt version from my Linux distro I will remove it. Hope it helps

I understand that it's the zigbeee2mqtt that requires an update, which is not part of the latest release 1.38.0.
Did you get it working according to these instructions?
I tried to do it but with no success.
I ended up switching to Zigbee2MQTT Edge in my Home Assistant and now the device works just fine. I'll switch back to the stable version after the new release.

[gianarb]

Great I think what you do just works. No i ended up coping the JS code that converts this device from the main repository to my insurance and linking it to the my ZigBee2mqtt configuration like described here <https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/advanced/support-new-devices/01_support_new_devices.html> It was easy option for my current situation.

Ok, I don't know why it didn't work for me because I also tried the same approach, must have done something wrong, but problem solved anyway :) Thanks

Großartig, ich denke, was Sie tun, funktioniert einfach. Nein, ich habe am Ende den JS-Code kopiert, der dieses Gerät vom Hauptrepository in meine Versicherung konvertiert, und es mit meiner ZigBee2mqtt-Konfiguration verknüpft, wie hier beschrieben < https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/advanced/support-new-devices/01_support_new_devices.html >. Es war eine einfache Option für meine aktuelle Situation.

Nach der neuen Version werde ich wieder auf die stabile Version umsteigen. – Antworten Sie direkt auf diese E-Mail oder sehen Sie sie sich auf GitHub an: #23094 (Antwort im Thread) Sie erhalten dies, weil Sie den Öffnungs-/Schließstatus geändert haben.

Können Sie den JS-Code hier zeigen? Bei mir geht es auch nicht

Same problem for me, won't work. :(
Device is not supported, but fingerprint is available, says GitHub...
Tried it with a external converter, too, but still not supported. Is there a mistake maybe?

const fz = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/converters/fromZigbee');
const tz = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/converters/toZigbee');
const exposes = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/exposes');
const reporting = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/reporting');
const modernExtend = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/modernExtend');
const e = exposes.presets;
const ea = exposes.access;
const tuya = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/tuya');

const definition = {
    // Since a lot of Tuya devices use the same modelID, but use different datapoints
    // it's necessary to provide a fingerprint instead of a zigbeeModel
    fingerprint: [
        {
            // The model ID from: Device with modelID 'TS0601' is not supported
            // You may need to add \u0000 at the end of the name in some cases
            modelID: 'TS0601_soil',
            // The manufacturer name from: Device with modelID 'TS0601' is not supported.
            manufacturerName: '_TZE204_myd45weu',
        },
    ],
    model: 'TS0601_new',
    vendor: 'Tuya',
    description: 'Soil sensor',
    fromZigbee: [tuya.fz.datapoints],
    toZigbee: [tuya.tz.datapoints],
    onEvent: tuya.onEventSetTime, // Add this if you are getting no converter for 'commandMcuSyncTime'
    configure: tuya.configureMagicPacket,
    exposes: [e.temperature(), e.soil_moisture(), tuya.exposes.temperatureUnit(), e.battery(), tuya.exposes.batteryState()],
    meta: {
        // All datapoints go in here
        tuyaDatapoints: [
                [3, 'soil_moisture', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
                [5, 'temperature', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
                [9, 'temperature_unit', tuya.valueConverter.temperatureUnit],

};

module.exports = definition;

@Cic0r I got it working with the following on zigbee2mqtt v1.38.0

Small workaround until zigbee2mqtt starts using zigbee-herdsman-convertersv19.49.0

Hope this helps :)

const exposes = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/exposes');
const tuya = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/tuya');

const e = exposes.presets;
const definition = {
    fingerprint: tuya.fingerprint('TS0601', ['_TZE200_myd45weu', '_TZE200_ga1maeof', '_TZE200_2se8efxh', '_TZE204_myd45weu']),
    model: 'TS0601_soil',
    vendor: 'Tuya',
    description: 'Soil sensor',
    fromZigbee: [tuya.fz.datapoints],
    toZigbee: [tuya.tz.datapoints],
    configure: tuya.configureMagicPacket,
    exposes: [e.temperature(), e.soil_moisture(), tuya.exposes.temperatureUnit(), e.battery(), tuya.exposes.batteryState()],
    meta: {
        tuyaDatapoints: [
            [3, 'soil_moisture', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
            [5, 'temperature', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
            [9, 'temperature_unit', tuya.valueConverter.temperatureUnit],
            [14, 'battery_state', tuya.valueConverter.batteryState],
            [15, 'battery', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
        ],
    },
}

module.exports = definition;

[KiCADHugo]

Thank you, now ist works.

[Cic0r]

@Cic0rIch habe es mit dem folgenden auf zigbee2mqtt v1.38.0 zum Laufen gebracht

Kleiner Workaround, bis zigbee2mqtt zigbee-herdsman-convertersv19.49.0 verwendet

Hoffe das hilft :)

const exposes = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/exposes');
const tuya = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/tuya');

const e = exposes.presets;
const definition = {
    fingerprint: tuya.fingerprint('TS0601', ['_TZE200_myd45weu', '_TZE200_ga1maeof', '_TZE200_2se8efxh', '_TZE204_myd45weu']),
    model: 'TS0601_soil',
    vendor: 'Tuya',
    description: 'Soil sensor',
    fromZigbee: [tuya.fz.datapoints],
    toZigbee: [tuya.tz.datapoints],
    configure: tuya.configureMagicPacket,
    exposes: [e.temperature(), e.soil_moisture(), tuya.exposes.temperatureUnit(), e.battery(), tuya.exposes.batteryState()],
    meta: {
        tuyaDatapoints: [
            [3, 'soil_moisture', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
            [5, 'temperature', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
            [9, 'temperature_unit', tuya.valueConverter.temperatureUnit],
            [14, 'battery_state', tuya.valueConverter.batteryState],
            [15, 'battery', tuya.valueConverter.raw],
        ],
    },
}

module.exports = definition;

Thank you, but still Not working for me. :(

Edit: Updated Z2M to 1.39.0 and it is working without extra .js. :)

[KiCADHugo]

How have you updated to 1.39.0? I use npm install zigbee2mqtt and it is 1.38.0

[Cic0r]

Wie haben Sie auf 1.39.0 aktualisiert? Ich verwende npm install zigbee2mqtt und es ist 1.38.0

There was an Update in HA, No manuell Update.
