zigpy-deconz 0.11.0

A library which communicates with Deconz radios for zigpy

zigpy-deconz

zigpy-deconz is a Python 3 implementation for the Zigpy project to implement deCONZ based Zigbee radio devices.

The goal of this project to add native support for the Dresden-Elektronik deCONZ based ZigBee modules in Home Assistant via Zigpy.

This library uses the deCONZ serial protocol for communicating with ConBee, ConBee II (ConBee 2), and RaspBee adapters from Dresden-Elektronik.

Testing new releases

Testing a new release of the zigpy-deconz library before it is released in Home Assistant.

If you are using Supervised Home Assistant (formerly known as the Hassio/Hass.io distro):

• Add https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons-development as "add-on" repository
• Install "Custom deps deployment" addon
• Update config like:

  pypi:
    - zigpy-deconz==0.9.0
  apk: []
  

  where 0.5.1 is the new version
• Start the addon

If you are instead using some custom python installation of Home Assistant then do this:

• Activate your python virtual env
• Update package with pip

  pip install zigpy-deconz==0.9.0
