"Fixing" out cluster instead of in cluster?

[aog2000a]

Hi,

i am trying to write a ZHA quirk to allow using a device which reports only the Basic cluster as IN cluster, and three sensors (power, temperature, humidity) as OUT clusters:
"endpoints": { "1": { "profile_id": 260, "device_type": "0x000c", "in_clusters": [ "0x0000" ], "out_clusters": [ "0x0001", "0x0402", "0x0408" ] }

If i understand correctly the sensor values should be read via IN clusters, so my question would be: is it possible to "change" an OUT cluster into an IN cluster using a quirk or not at all?

Thanks for any hint!!

Should be. Just move them in the replacement dict and try it.

Great, that was really helpful!

Why would device_type mismatch, i have "device_type": "0x000c", in the quirks endpoint dict and that is exactly what i see in the device signature provided by the "DOWNLOAD DIAGNOSTICS" link?!

In the quirk it needs to be a number… remove the quotes

[dmulcahey]

All the hex values in the quirk are numbers… they are strings in the dialog to maintain the hex display

Shame on me, thanks a bunch! I'm a step further, we'll see :-)

Thanks @dmulcahey ! I got it working as expected now.

The issue is that my device was delivered with the commented out part of the code here:
https://github.com/smartboxchannel/Plant-Watering-Sensor-Zigbee/blob/main/PROJECT%20SOURCE/PWS/Source/zcl_app_data.c

while some others got the uncommented code (see https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/1171 )

So i guess it doesn't make sense to try to submit a quirk to ZHA handlers. I will probably try to modify/update the sensor FW at some point.
