Feature - unsupported devices wizard/report tool

[chrisrock1984]

Hi,

I love this add-on so much and really appreciate your work!

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a reporting mechanism for unsupported but connectable devices which sends all the needed information automatically to the "new devices support request". This would make adding new devices in a later version much easier.

Also a kind of wizard within the add-on, where a new device can be configured by using templates from similar devices would be, in my opinion a great improvement for setting up new devices.

BR, Chris

@Koenkk This might be a good feature, to somehow allow "auto-generate" external converters "dummy" for devices that are unsupported, and allow users to edit those files with just the minimum to get them working.

Unsure about linking in the logs directly to the new device support issue.

@ciotlosm the converter configuration varies a lot, I think the easiest to copy a device that is very similar.

I am trying to add following device -> https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005001383340876.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dSd7hvD

The device can be paired and it is reporting linkquality

It would be easier, as @ciotlosm mentioned, that a file is generated automatically within the share folder (I am using HASSOS) where I can add the converters myself.

At the moment, I do not know how or where to start adding this device myself as some documentation/community entries are old or not working

Closing this issue as it didn't have much traction and there are other more pressing issue that require dev work. Feel free to start a PR or discussion on the core z2m repo: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues
