Thanks for the words, frankly speaking, we are unable to keep extending the supported list on a regular pace for now, like monthly updates, especially for those which are not on the list yet, we currently check the issue reported which types are switches, plugs, outlets, lights and some sensors on the list and try to solve it one by one.

May be we can try to address a bunch of them in later months, we have noted all the issue reported.

64

Could you open the code to the community so people can contribute with their time and resources to add devices?

65

We do thought a way or workaround to allow the users contributions on this, haven’t figured it out yet, the thinking is that a dedicate addon which allow the users to modify the device type, capabilities related strings reported to the CUBE system, still digging.

i’m trying to investigate what’s wrong with ikea fyrtur blinds. In iHost panel open close and stop button work fine. The percentage slider doen’t work and it looks like the percentage capability is missing:

{"serial_number":"b4e3f9fffe5284b2","name":"Finestra 2","manufacturer":"IKEA of Sweden","model":"FYRTUR block-out roller blind","firmware_version":"2.1","display_category":"curtain","capabilities":[{"capability":"battery","permission":"read"},{"capability":"motor-control","permission":"readWrite"},{"capability":"motor-reverse","permission":"readWrite"},{"capability":"motor-clb","permission":"read"},{"capability":"rssi","permission":"read"}],"protocol":"zigbee","app_name":null,"state":{"battery":{"battery":49,"updated_at":1689265519008},"motor-control":{"motorControl":"close"},"motor-reverse":{"motorReverse":true},"motor-clb":{"motorClb":"normal","updated_at":1689104186914},"rssi":{"rssi":-65,"updated_at":1689265533648}},"tags":null,"online":true}

i think this is also the same reason because blinds don’t work with the homebridge plugin

can you please fix it asap? At least fix the homebridge plugin to allow open and close actions

Get, forwarded to dev-team to check what’s the datagram reported of the ikea fyrtur blinds.

It pairs, it show but no data is displayed.

iHost fw version is 1.8.0

I have just flashed my Zigbee Dongle-E with router firmware (6.10.3) and added to iHost.
It works but it is recognized as a light.
How can I change it to Router?

Flashed the Sonoff ZigBee Bridge also with router firmware but says it is not supported. Not sure if despite this it still works as a router?! :thinking:

72

First I’ve added noname repeater from Aliexpress (about 7USD) but to do that I had to check Zigbee2CUBE. It’s discovered as a router and works fine. After that I’ve added Dongle-e flashed with router firmware. It works really good. Coverage about 50% better then iHost radio. Unortunately as you can see it was discovered as a light. I have also unchecked Zigbee2Cube and Dongle-e still works good.
You should try to check Zigbee2Cube. If you’ve flashed correctly it should help you.

73

I added it with zigbee2CUBE activated. Says that it is a not supported device, but it does recognize the fact that it is a router.
I have tasmota on it with the router module installed as per below:

Hey there, Please add the device by the stranded device pairing, not via ZigBee2CUBE, let me know how it works.

76

Hi, would you please send the logs via iHost feedback channle along with the screenshot of the device shown, we are investigating the multi-channel switch issue.

77

Updated the status in the supported list based on you guys feedback, please feel free to let me know if i missing something, there are lot’s of comparisons need to do may have some feedback missed, we are trying to find some time to check the issue case by case along the new feature developing road, and please forgive us if you don’t get a timely reply.

Please kindly note again,

78

Hey Matt, does the humidity and temperature data displayed?
It may lack of data because the pressure capability is not supported by far.

79

no data is displayed at all , even where delete/re-associate.

@yitie
i checked the excel file that suggests to pair the ikea curtains without using zigbee2cube so i disabled it, deleted the curtains and added them again. They work fine but they don’t work in homebridge:

any chance we can get a fix for it?

81

Can’t tell it’s a issue of us or HomeBridge’s, forwarded to dev team for further investigation.

Edit at UTC 6:50 am Monday,
@vinci.dario would you please send the addon’s log and the system log via feedback channel, thanks in advance.

Hi @yitie : I have posted my problems with a Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor (9290030674) here

Happy to move the content into this thread if it better suited here.

Could I please ask for your help?
