@jlama do you think there's any way to make exactly the same mods on zigbee2mqtt to support the powertags as you doing now?

jlama commented 4 months ago

Long story short, there is no way to make it work reliably without custom firmware. The ACK reply expected by PowerTags must be handled directly in firmware to have control on the timings.

Now you could probably flash a dongle with my firmware and make it work with zigbee2mqtt, but this will require some work on the zigbee2mqtt side.

In the end i understand that your FW makes a lot of difference but did you notice that A9 and R9 behaves completely different?

The last 7.4.0.0 fw to dongle-e could be compiled with multi rail? there's anything more beside that?

I don't have any A9* PowerTag so I have no idea.
