Notes for Moes Zigbee Scene Switch

Summary

Notes for setting up “Moes” brand 1,2,3 or 4 button zigbee Scene switches with a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge

Product

  • A 1,2,3 or 4 button zigbee Scene switch
  • Comes in White, Black and (Harder to get) grey. I wanted grey ones to blend in to the cabinet location, and they were the hardest to find.
  • Link from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002220416879.html
  • Cost each for the 4 gang was around $25 each including freight, 4 week delivery (e-packet)
  • They take CR2430 button cell batteries that should last over a year or maybe two. These aren’t that common though (I got mine from Jaycar), but a 2032 will apparently fit ok if needed.
  • They have a green LED on each button that lights when pressed.
  • Pairing mode is entered by holding bottom left button down for about 10 seconds, and all 4 LEDs start flashing.
  • I connected via a Sonoff zigbee bridge flashed with Tasmota (Tasmota Zigbee variant)
  • I just used Node Red to pull the MQTT topics and interrogate the JSON to command various things, but obviously there are plenty of other ways to do it in HA or with direct rules in the zigbee bridge.

Notes

  • I couldn’t get all the double press/hold options that the Tuya connection seems to get (based on the YouTube vids I watched). They are supposed to allow for double presses and a HOLD for each button.
  • More options may be supported with Zigbee2Mqtt, or another zigbee setup.
  • With the Tasmota setup, I could get single presses from each, and a hold from the right hand switches (no double presses)
  • This setup was fine for what I wanted, but I did start playing with double press detection in Node Red… it wouldn’t detect fast presses, but half a second apart I could do. I might go back to it if I need doublepress.
  • It has been noted that there are some delay quirks with these… occasionally it won’t recognise a press if another press has been received a few seconds before. This hasn’t really been a problem for my setup (basic light control and a a couple of script actions – all have feedback)

MQTT JSON results from the sonoff Bridge

Where Zigbee name has been changed to “Moes_Quad_Scene”
And the ID of this device is 0x1234
Topic in MQTT will be something like “tele/tasmota_zigbee_bridge_1/1234/SENSOR/”
where the 1234 is the device ID

Remember with the ZigBee bridge, in the console you can change the name to the friendly name thus:

ZbName 0x1234,Moes_Quad_Scene
{"ZbReceived":{
	   "Moes_Quad_Scene"{ 
			"Device":"0x1234",
			"Name":"Moes_Quad_Scene",
			"0006!01":"", 
			"Power":1,
			"Endpoint":1,
			"LinkQuality":42}
	   }
}
{"ZbReceived":{
	   "Moes_Quad_Scene"{ 
			"Device":"0x1234",
			"Name":"Moes_Quad_Scene",
			"0006!00":"", 
			"Power":0,
			"Endpoint":1,
			"LinkQuality":42}
	   }
}
{"ZbReceived":{
	   "Moes_Quad_Scene"{ 
			"Device":"0x1234",
			"Name":"Moes_Quad_Scene",
			"0008!02":"00330A00", 
			"DimmerStepUp":51,
			"Endpoint":1,
			"LinkQuality":42}
	   }
}
{"ZbReceived":{
	   "Moes_Quad_Scene"{ 
			"Device":"0x1234",
			"Name":"Moes_Quad_Scene",
			"0008!02":"01330A00", 
			"DimmerStepDown":51,
			"Endpoint":1,
			"LinkQuality":42}
	   }
}

Note that when held, and button is released, a different message is generated on release (I haven’t listed those here, as I didn’t need them. Obviously designed for dimming control.)

{"ZbReceived":{
	   "Moes_Quad_Scene"{ 
			"Device":"0x1234",
			"Name":"Moes_Quad_Scene",
			"0008!01":"0033", 
			"DimmerMove":0,
			"Endpoint":1,
			"LinkQuality":42}
	   }
}
{"ZbReceived":{
	   "Moes_Quad_Scene"{ 
			"Device":"0x1234",
			"Name":"Moes_Quad_Scene",
			""0008!01":"0133", 
			"DimmerMove":1,
			"Endpoint":1,
			"LinkQuality":42}
	   }
}

Node Red Flow

This could definitely be simplified further with one function node, but it was a neater way of having 2 switches doing the same functions (and I could add more if needed). Also, if I figure out the double presses or move it to my Zigbee2MQTT setup, the changes will be fewer.
