doesn't pair

Comments

The 5-in-1 PRO product combines different Gledopto LED Controllers into one. Unfortunately, it doesn't pair with Z2M. I tried it with two different ZigBee sticks, one of them being the Sonoff ZBDongle-E 3.0. When I click on permit join and restart the device, reset it, try any pairing button combination, nothing happens.

When using ZHA, it pairs immediately. And depending on the mode you select on the device, it pairs as a different controller type. (Dimmer only gives Brightness/OnOff, CCT gives white temp control, RGB gives color control via ZigBee and so on)

It would be great if Z2M could have the same smooth pairing with the Gledopto GL-C-201P as ZHA.

Hi.
Just bought GLEDOPTO GL-C-201P LED Controller and I was able to pair it with Z2M, but not with the correct model. Actually, Z2M identifies GL-C-201P as GL-C-008P.

But there is a big problem: GL-C-201P model has a push button interface to attach an external switch, so on/off can be also controlled by this external switch. Since Z2M does not recognize the correct controller model, when external switch is used, on/off states are not passed to Z2M, then the real state is not reflected to Home Assistant. I mean, if you turn on/off the controller using external switch, Z2M does not know it.

Would appreciate if Z2M team take a look at it.

Thank you.

Hi @niklasfink.

Pairing GL-C-201P with ZHA, are you able have state (on/off) synchronized with Home Assistant when using external push switch?

Thanks.

Any update on this? I'm having the same problem. Both eight of this for my renovation project.

Does it work when configuring reporting for onOff?

Yes, thank you a lot.

It seems to work properly after configuring like you suggested. Now, ON/OFF state is passed from device to Z2M even when external switch is pressed. Will do more tests later.
Thank you.
