Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on setting up my Zigbee rollershutters using Zigbee2MQTT. I’ve recently migrated from OpenHAB 2 to OpenHAB 4 and replaced my EnOcean rollershutters with Zigbee models. While I appreciate the ease of setup promised by Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant compatibility, I’m facing some challenges.
Currently, my setup involves using MQTT topics with the IEEE address of the modules, which isn’t ideal. I prefer using friendly names for easier management, especially since I have other Zigbee devices that might be moved or replaced. I’ve managed to get partial success by defining the MQTT thing manually, but I’m still struggling with handling the STOP command without involving NodeRED.
I tried modifying the thing definition to include a proxy for the position topic, but it doesn’t fully resolve the issue. While NodeRED does the trick, it adds unnecessary complexity to my system. I’m hoping there’s a way to avoid this dependency and streamline my setup.
If anyone has experience with Zigbee rollershutters or knows of a more efficient method to handle this without extra software, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. Let me know if you can suggest any alternative approaches or configurations that might simplify my setup. Thanks in advance for your help!
