I'm testing the Zigbee Thermometer TH05Z [Failed]

Where to buy this equipment?

On the date of writing of this Retex:

I add batteries

This thermometer uses 3 AAA batteries not supplied

I integrate this box with Zigbee2MQTT

I switch Zigbee2MQTT to pairing mode and plug in the last stack.

When connecting the battery, the temperature is displayed on the thermometer screen, it is just right.

The pairing starts…

 

My test stops there, we will have to wait until this thermometer is integrated into Zigbee2MQTT…

 

It remains a beautiful product, well finished, but if we want to integrate it, we will have to go through Tuya and not Zigbee2MQTT directly, which I refuse to do.

I'm testing the Zigbee Thermometer ZTH05

I check the received model

Attention, potential scam, voluntary or not, we sometimes find sites that sell versions very close in terms of references, but this is not the version we want, if you find versions Zigbee has less than 5 €, distrust!

The version I ordered and tested is the last column.

I note that in the received model, the stack is well included.

I note that it is specified: Zigbee (Tuya Only), I hope Zigbee2MQTT works with, I will check this immediately. Read More

I'm testing the Smart Switch ZG-005-RF

Zigbee 4-channel dry contacts are an advantageous replacement for Sonoff modules. This ZG-005-RF case offers 4 NO/NC outputs that can be controlled via Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant. Discover my complete test to order lights, valves or gates in home automation.

The dry contacts (potential free) are essential in home automation. They make it possible to control any electrical appliance without supplying any voltage themselves. The current only passes when the contact closes, making this type of module universal and secure.

I tested this Zigbee module purchased with my own funds. No sponsorship, just realistic tests. 

This housing supports a voltage of up to 240V maximum. Maximum load: 10A per channel (2200W to 220V resistive), limited to 220W with LED. Total 16A for all 4 channels combined.
