Keep it turn on and pair the device again.

@SuiKa

Did you turn on your Zigbee2CUBE option in pilot features?

It was OFF because no device I’m using is listed here.
I found that list here.

When I turned it ON, I started to see the VOC and PM2.5

Hi @SuiKa,
On ihost.local/CAST, the graph is showing only the temp/humid.
While on ihost.local, on the list of the devices, I can see the temp/humid/pm2.5/voc history.

[SuiKa]

Pm2.5/voc histroy is not supported yet in iHost Cast.
We’ll take it into consideration.

@Teki

Initial support for OTA updates for Zigbee devices.

I have 2 Sonoff S26R2ZB

• One is on firmware 2.0.1
• The other one is on firmware 2.1.1

Therefore, I’m suposing the latest firmware is 2.1.1

When I try to update the plug from 2.0.1 to 2.1.1, iHost says I’m on the latest firmware. Which is not true.

[SuiKa]

Please submit your system log.
We’ll see what’s causes the problem.

@SuiKa

Please submit your system log

I’m just curious: didn’t you have any S26R2ZB nearby?

Sonoff and eWelink are essentially the same company (oe sister company, or whatever), and it’s frustrating to have to provide so much feedback on an issue that can be easily replicated.

eWelink should provide you with ALL Sonoff devices on your desk.

[SuiKa]

Device can react differently base on network environment, device firmware version, etc.
We can’t completely replicate your scenario.
Only your log can show the fullest and most detailed information about your problem.

@SuiKa

We can’t completely replicate your scenario

First question you need to do for yourself:
Does S26R2ZB support OTA Update? I guess not.

Then the message should be “This device doesn’t support update” and not “Your device is on the latest firmware”.

I understand that people get frustrated when things don’t work 100%, I’ve had issues with various updates and different devices but the developers have always worked with me to fix these issues.

People need to understand they’re not paying a premium for hardware/software that has spent months or years being tested in a million different scenarios. The dev’s test as much as they can but it is almost impossible to create every possible different setup out there and still release updates frequently.That’s why if you’re asked for your log file, so they can see what makes you issue unique, and they can then work to fix it.

If you want something that works 100% out of box, for any and every possible make up and combinations of setup, then change ecosystem and prepare to pay a lot more, and still be disappointed at some point.

The dev’s test as much as they can but it is almost impossible to create every possible different setup

I’m talking about a Sonoff device (iHost) and another Sonoff device (smart plug S26R2ZB).

It’s not an specific setup or an advanced feature. It’s a basic feature.

Until yesterday, my smart plugs wasn’t even following the schedules (ON/OFF). I guess this has been fixed on the new version, but let’s see.

eWelink developers should have all Sonoff devices on their hands. They should receive all devices to use in their homes.

We are not alpha/beta testers. We are customers.

In this latest update, some performance issues were noticed.

They even released version 2.1.1 without much fanfare.

For some fixes.

I understand the frustration.

However, I agree with the colleague above.

It is a HUB that does not only handle Sonoff products, but several brands.

I do not know of any other hub from major brands that has this compatibility in such a simple way.

Because with the Cube, you literally just have to pair the device after it has already passed the team’s certification.

@renatoyamane

Until yesterday, my smart plugs wasn’t even following the schedules (ON/OFF). I guess this has been fixed on the new version, but let’s see.

As you said, the product was not following a calendar correctly.

2.1.1 was to correct this, not only in this device but as a whole.

So the problem was not with the Sonoff product itself that they have access to.

The Cube Software is constantly evolving!

So a recommendation is that if it is working today, do not update as soon as a new version is released. Wait to see the known issues of the version.

Since there is currently no report of known bugs in the version that is being made available.

@ward

The fixing plan is merged with another network optimization task ETA next version

It’s not listed on the changelog…

Hey,

Sorry for the confusion. I meant the next major version. If everything goes well it will be optimized in V2.2 late this month.

[renatoyamane]

As I supposed:

[ociepa.ekotox]

Can a setting be added to the zbminir2 menu. Device status after power-up.

[SuiKa]

I can’t quite understand.
Can you specify your need?

[ociepa.ekotox]

The ZBMINIR2 device has no initial state settings after power on.

I want the device to turn on after a power outage.

The Zigbee MICRO device has this function.

[SuiKa]

So that means you need startup and inching function in ZBMINIR2?
