How to add the Oz Smart RGBW Downlight to a Zigbee Hub:
Prepare the Zigbee Hub:
Ensure the Zigbee Hub is powered on and connected to your network.
Open the hub's associated app or software on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Navigate to the section where you can add new devices. This might be labeled as "Add Device," "Pair Device," "Discover Devices," or something similar.
Prepare the Zigbee Device:
Ensure the Zigbee device is powered on.
If the device has been previously paired with another hub, you might need to reset it to its factory settings.
Initiate Pairing Mode:
On the hub's app or software, start the device discovery or pairing mode.
Activate the pairing mode on the Zigbee device. Pairing mode is shown on the downlight by a pulsing of white light. If the light is not pulsing, turn on/off three times, slowly, allowing the downlight to turn off at each cycle.
If the device will not go into pairing mode, try the on/off sequence
4 or 5 times instead of 3 times. Also give a second or 2 longer
delay between the on/off sequence.
Pairing Process:
The hub should detect the Zigbee device and start the pairing process. This might take a few seconds to a minute. Please, be patient.
Once paired, the device will appear in the hub's app or software, and you might be prompted to name the device or assign it to a room.
Configuration (if needed):
Depending on the device type, you might have additional configuration options, such as setting up automation rules, adjusting sensitivity, or configuring notifications.
Test the Device:
Ensure the device is working correctly with the hub. For example, if it's a light bulb, try turning it on and off through the app. If it's a sensor, check if it's sending the correct data to the hub.
Troubleshooting:
- If the device doesn't pair successfully, try moving it closer to the hub and repeating the pairing process.
- Ensure there are no physical obstructions or electronic interferences that might be affecting the Zigbee signal.
- Check if both the hub and device are running the latest firmware versions.
How to Add the Oz Smart RGBW Downlight to The Zemismart Hub:
Prepare Your Devices:
Ensure that your Zemismart Zigbee Hub is powered on and connected to your home network.
Make sure your Zigbee RGBW downlight is installed and powered off.
Open the Tuya App:
Launch the Tuya Smart app on your smartphone or tablet. If you haven't already, create an account and log in.
If you haven't added your Zemismart Zigbee hub to the Tuya app yet, you'll need to do that first. To do this, tap on the "+" icon in the top right corner, select "Gateway" and then follow the on-screen instructions to add your Zemismart Zigbee hub.
Add the Zigbee RGBW Downlight:
Once your Zemismart Zigbee hub is added to the Tuya app, tap on the "+" icon again in the top right corner.
Select "Lighting Devices" or a similar category.
Choose "Zigbee" from the list of connection types.
Follow the on-screen instructions. Typically, you'll be asked to power on the Zigbee RGBW downlight and ensure it's in pairing mode.
Pairing mode is shown on the downlight by a pulsing of white light. If the light is not pulsing, turn on/off three times, slowly, allowing the downlight to turn off at each cycle.
If the device will not go into pairing mode, try the on/off sequence
4 or 5 times instead of 3 times. Also give a second or 2 longer
delay between the on/off sequence.
Once the downlight is in pairing mode, the Tuya app should detect it and add it to your list of devices.
Configure the Downlight:
After the downlight is added, you can tap on its name/icon in the Tuya app to configure its settings, such as brightness, color, and other features.
Troubleshooting:
- If the Tuya app doesn't detect your Zigbee RGBW downlight, ensure that the downlight is in pairing mode and that it's within range of the Zemismart Zigbee hub.
- Make sure that there are no other Zigbee hubs or devices nearby that might interfere with the pairing process.
- If you're still having issues, consider resetting the downlight to its factory settings and trying the pairing process again.
How to Add a Zigbee device to Zigbee2MQTT
Often abbreviated as Z2M, pairing a Zigbee device to Zigbee2MQTT involves a series of steps.
Setup Zigbee2MQTT:
Ensure that you have Zigbee2MQTT installed and running. If you haven't done this yet, you can follow the installation guide on the Zigbee2MQTT official documentation.
Make sure you have a compatible Zigbee coordinator (like a CC2531 or Conbee II) flashed with the appropriate firmware and connected to your system.
Start Zigbee2MQTT:
If you're using Home Assistant, you can start Zigbee2MQTT from the add-on page.
If you're running Zigbee2MQTT standalone, you can start it using the command line.
Enable Pairing Mode:
Open the Zigbee2MQTT configuration file (usually configuration.yaml).
Ensure that permit_join is set to true. This will allow new devices to join the network.
Save the configuration file and restart Zigbee2MQTT if necessary.
Put the Zigbee Device in Pairing Mode:
Pairing mode is shown on the downlight by a pulsing of white light. If the light is not pulsing, turn on/off three times, slowly, allowing the downlight to turn off at each cycle.
If the device will not go into pairing mode, try the on/off sequence
4 or 5 times instead of 3 times. Also give a second or 2 longer
delay between the on/off sequence.
Once the downlight is in pairing mode, the Tuya app should detect it and add it to your list of devices.
Check the Zigbee2MQTT Logs:
Monitor the Zigbee2MQTT logs to see if the device is successfully paired. You should see messages indicating that a new device has joined the network.
Once paired, the device will be assigned a unique ID which you can use to control or get data from it.
Disable Pairing Mode (Recommended for security):
Once your device is successfully paired, it's a good practice to disable the pairing mode.
Set permit_join to false in the configuration.yaml file and restart Zigbee2MQTT.
Integrate with Home Automation System (Optional):
If you're using a home automation system like Home Assistant, you can now integrate the newly added Zigbee device and create automations, scripts, or scenes with it.
Troubleshooting:
- If the device doesn't pair successfully, try moving it closer to the Zigbee coordinator and try again.
- Ensure that the device is compatible with Zigbee2MQTT. You can check the list of supported devices on the Zigbee2MQTT website.
- If you're still facing issues, refer to the Zigbee2MQTT documentation and community forums for further assistance.
- Remember, the exact steps and details might vary based on the Zigbee device you're trying to pair and the version of Zigbee2MQTT you're using. Always refer to the official documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
General Trouble-Shooting
● If the light socket does not have an in-wall switch for on/off sequence
for connecting to WiFi Network - before installing the downlight into
ceiling, unplug the connector in the back of the downlight to turn it
off, plug the connector back in to turn on, and repeat. Please give
1-5 seconds between on and off. Once flashing, connect with
the mobile device. Once connected, finish installing it into ceiling.
● If the light is offline in the App, make sure the in-wall switch is in
the on position. If not, turn on.
● If the device will not go into pairing mode, try the on/off sequence
4 or 5 times instead of 3 times. Also give a second or 2 longer
delay between the on/off sequence.
● If the internet connection is down, the light can still be controlled
through your mobile device as long as both are connected to
the same Network.
