I haven't tried adding the dimming actuator yet. can anyone help

External definition

const {onOff, identify} = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/modernExtend');

const definition = {
    zigbeeModel: ['NEXENTRO Dimming Actuator'],
    model: 'NEXENTRO Dimming Actuator',
    vendor: 'Insta GmbH',
    description: 'Automatically generated definition',
    extend: [onOff({"powerOnBehavior":false}), identify()],
    meta: {},
};

module.exports = definition;

I'm on the way. I paired my NEXENTRO dimm yesterday, but it showed up as blinds actuator. So it's useless. But I can't forecast how long it will take.

Hello, thank you for your message, that's no problem. I can still wait. I would like to thank you very much for your work and wish you a nice weekend. Best regards

Hello, just wanted to check-in on the Z2M integration of this NEXENTRO dimmer.

I wish there was an alternative dimmer that is already Z2M-integrated, but no other in-wall dimmer can dim both RC (trailing edge) and RL (leading edge) like this one, which is needed for certain LEDs. All other in-wall dimmers are RC (trailing edge) only - a real shame. So I feel stuck to get the one from NEXENTRO.

Thanks a lot, Andreas

Hello Andreas,

the Nexentro dimmer still works! I can operate and control it. It just says "not supported" in the support status.

You can buy it with confidence.

Steven, I did not expect that. Thanks! I just ordered one of the Nexentro dimmers. Will let you know about the outcome.

Cheers, Andreas

Hi Steven, hi Andreas! I'm already experimenting with a configuration file. I have the log output, I can switch on and off, but I stucked at the endpoint wrapping. I'll try to post what I have this evening.

Greetings Henry

Hi guys,

I just installed the dimmer.

Via Bluetooth through the Nexentro Android app, it works like a charm. Perfectly dims my LEDs.

When pairing it via Zigbee in Home Assistant, z2m recognizes it as Insta 57008000 blind actor - just like you wrote earlier, Henry. See screenshot.

No working control over switching/dimming yet.

Steven, can you explain how you got it to work?

Henry, I wish I could be of any help, but I have not fumbled around with endpoint configuration yet.

Cheers, Andreas

Just found there is another 'new device support' thread dealing with this dimmer: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/22072

No working solution there yet though as well.

Just a quick post what I have at the moment. I wrote a "NEXENTRO_dimmer.js" as an extention of the configuration.yaml:

const {} = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/modernExtend');
// Add the lines below
const fz = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/converters/fromZigbee');
const tz = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/converters/toZigbee');
const exposes = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/exposes');
const reporting = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/reporting');
const ota = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/ota');
const utils = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/utils');
const globalStore = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/store');
const e = exposes.presets;
const ea = exposes.access;
const definition = {
    zigbeeModel: ['NEXENTRO Dimming Actuator'],
    model: '57006000', // Update this with the real model of the device (written on the device itself or product page)
    vendor: 'Insta GmbH', // Update this with the real vendor of the device (written on the device itself or product page)
    description: 'Dimming actor with brightness control and an input for a wall switch', // Description of the device, copy from vendor site. (only used for documentation and startup logging)
    extend: [],
    fromZigbee: [fz.on_off,fz.command_on, fz.command_off, fz.command_move, fz.command_stop], // We will add this later
    toZigbee: [tz.on_off,tz.light_brightness_move], // Should be empty, unless device can be controlled (e.g. lights, switches).
    exposes: [e.action(['toggle', 'brightness_move_up', 'brightness_move_down', 'brightness_stop'])], // Defines what this device exposes, used for e.g. Home Assistant discovery and in the frontend
    ota: ota.zigbeeOTA,
};
module.exports = definition;

But the on/off and brightness_move does not show up in the "Exposes" tab. So I think what's in the "exposes"-line in the config can't be right. Therefore the Problem I face is to find the right functions or to map them in the right way. I started trying to pick up some hints from other dimmers, but no success for now.

From the logs: Sequence: On - Off - On - Dimm-up - Off

Just a quick post what I have at the moment. I wrote a "NEXENTRO_dimmer.js" as an extention of the configuration.yaml:

Andreas, I'm just a beginner too and I added the Nexentro to my existing network via the APP (pairing mode Z2M) and it worked right from the start.

Here is the output from the "Developer Console" external_definition:

const {deviceEndpoints, identify, light, commandsOnOff, commandsLevelCtrl, commandsColorCtrl} = require('zigbee-herdsman-converters/lib/modernExtend');

const definition = { zigbeeModel: ['NEXENTRO Dimming Actuator'], model: 'NEXENTRO Dimming Actuator', vendor: 'Insta GmbH', description: 'Automatically generated definition', extend: [deviceEndpoints({"endpoints":{"2":2,"4":4}}), identify(), light(), commandsOnOff({"endpointNames":["4"]}), commandsLevelCtrl({"endpointNames":["4"]}), commandsColorCtrl({"endpointNames":["4"]})], meta: {"multiEndpoint":true}, };

module.exports = definition;

Hi guys, just fiddled around with your input. Using bar-xx3's external_definition as a js-file in the zigbee2mqtt folder actually makes it work in a basic way. Light can be turned on/off, and also the brightness slider works. It is not as perfect though as through the Bluetooth Android app, which is still functioning in parallel: The z2m connection seems to ignore the minimum brightness which I set in the app. As a result, only starting from a z2m brightness value of 6 the lights actually start lighting up.

Still, it seems to be a great starting point for optimization. If you make any progress, please feel free to share. I may try to make my first steps in optimizing a new device as well, and will report back.

Cheers, Andreas
