Tuya PN6 unsupported

[dberenguer]

I recently found this device in the list of supported devices, so I decided to give it a try and order one of these from Aliexpress. The device is shown however as unsupported. Could it be due to the fact that the vendor name being reported is "_TZE204_l8xiyymq" and not "ZSVIOT"? The vendor name is being shown as Unsupported in the frontend. Otherwise, have I to redefine the whole device? (Never did it before...)

Thanks for your time!

The support for this device was in fact included in the last release of Zigbee2mqtt but my device was showing a different vendor name. I simply reused the existing converter and modified the vendor name.

Hello,
I'm facing the same issue that you described. I'm a new comer to this zigbee2mqtt world and I don't understand the way you solve the problem.
Could you please explain more in details?
Thank you.

Sorry @bidonMarc for my late reply. In /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/external_converters, create a new js file (ex: tuya_pn6.js) containing this code:

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 = {
    fingerprint: [{modelID: 'TS0601', manufacturerName: '_TZE204_l8xiyymq'}],
    model: 'PN6',
    vendor: 'Tuya',
    description: '6-way controller',
    fromZigbee: [tuya.fz.datapoints],
    toZigbee: [tuya.tz.datapoints],
    configure: tuya.configureMagicPacket,
    exposes: [
        tuya.exposes.switch(),
        tuya.exposes.switchMode2().withEndpoint('l1_l2').withLabel('1-2 channels'),
        tuya.exposes.switch().withEndpoint('l1'),
        tuya.exposes.switch().withEndpoint('l2'),
        tuya.exposes.switchMode2().withEndpoint('l3_l4').withLabel('3-4 channels'),
        tuya.exposes.switch().withEndpoint('l3'),
        tuya.exposes.switch().withEndpoint('l4'),
        tuya.exposes.switchMode2().withEndpoint('l5_l6').withLabel('5-6 channels'),
        tuya.exposes.switch().withEndpoint('l5'),
        tuya.exposes.switch().withEndpoint('l6'),
        tuya.exposes.switchType(),
        e.power_on_behavior(['off', 'on']).withAccess(ea.STATE_SET),
    ],
    endpoint: (device) => {
        return {l1: 1, l2: 1, l3: 1, l4: 1, l5: 1, l6: 1, state: 1, l1_l2: 1, l3_l4: 1, l5_l6: 1};
    },
    meta: {
        multiEndpoint: true,
        tuyaDatapoints: [
            [1, 'state_l1', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [2, 'state_l2', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [3, 'state_l3', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [4, 'state_l4', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [5, 'state_l5', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [6, 'state_l6', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [13, 'state', tuya.valueConverter.onOff],
            [14, 'power_on_behavior', tuya.valueConverter.powerOnBehaviorEnum],
            [107, 'switch_type', tuya.valueConverter.switchType],
            [113, 'switch_mode_l1_l2', tuya.valueConverter.switchMode2],
            [114, 'switch_mode_l3_l4', tuya.valueConverter.switchMode2],
            [115, 'switch_mode_l5_l6', tuya.valueConverter.switchMode2],
        ]
    },
    extend: []
};

module.exports = definition;

If the manufacturer name is not "_TZE204_l8xiyymq" in your case, simply replace it with the name being showed from the zigbee2mqtt web interface. After that, restart zigbee2mqtt.

Thanks @dberenguer for this detailed info. But it seems to not work for me ;-( I bought this actor last week and it is connected, like it should, to my zigbee network. I found my zigbee installation under homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt and so i created there the subfolders /data/external_converters and put in the file containing the code, you provided. But after the restart of zigbee there ist allways the same view from the PN6.

Is there a fix sequence? Has the .js file to be in the subfolder before attaching the PN6 to the zigbee network? Could there be something wrong with the .js file? I copied the content from this comunity and put it with vi in the file?

I didnt find anything further usefull infos in google :-(

Thanks for any hints.

Best regards

Frank

Installation:
HA on Raspi 4 (newes release)
Zigbee2mqtt as addon (newest release)
NodeRed on Proxmox (newest release)

Yes. Try deleting the device and register it again.

[macbraun]

Thanks for that fast response. I tried it but this also didnt work.

I found a small difference between your manufactorername and mine.

In your file there is a 0 instead of my 8, but even with this corrected it didnt work :-(

It seems, that the file isnt used by the zigbee.

[macbraun]

So, now i figured out some more things ;-). The folder has to be directly under zigbee2mqtt, no more data-dir, i tnow looks like this:

/homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt/external_converters/tuya_pn6.js

But it changes nothing to my PN6 actore, also "not supported". If i rename the file to tuya_pn6.mjs and restart the zigbee, this file is renamed to tuya_pn6.mjs.invalid. So it seems the path is working but somethings wrong with the .js file :-(

With debug level i see this: z2m: Loaded external converter 'tuya_pn6.js'

[macbraun]

Now it works!

I cleaned up and delete all directories, i created. Copy from the logfile the manufactorer-name into the tuya_pn6.js file, delete the device from the database and then let it pair again -> recognized as it should be, inclusive the symbol picture of the device, great!

Thanks a lot for helping !
