HOWTOs

Add rfxtrx device

• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.rfxtrx/

but when you don't see new switch. enable debugging in configuration.yaml:

  default: info
  logs:

rfxtrx:

      name: myswitch1

FAQ

Config error. See dev-info panel for details.

That's under "Developer tools" tab "Logs"

Find new zigbee device

Assuming deconz/phoscon: Got to Developer Tools->Services and enter

deconz.device_refresh

Reload configuration.yml

That's done by the "restart server", make sure to run "check configuration" first
