A new Zigbee device by voice

What it looks like

1. “Homer, add a new light to the bedroom”. The speaker hands the job to Opus and says “On it”.
2. Opus opens the network (zigbee_pair, usually for 2 minutes) and asks you through the speaker to put the device in pairing mode.
3. You reset the device. The bridge reports that the device has joined and gets to know it.
4. Opus names the device, for example “Bedroom floor lamp” (zigbee_rename), and checks that it responds.
5. The result is spoken out loud, all steps are in the log.

How to put a device in pairing mode

Device	Usually
Light	Turn it on and off with the switch 5 times in a row, about a second apart. The light blinks
Sensor (motion, door, leak)	Hold the button, or a paperclip in the hole, for 5 seconds until the LED blinks
Outlet	Hold the button for 5–10 seconds
Button, remote	Hold the button for 5 seconds

The exact way is in the device's manual: look for “pairing” or “reset”.

If it didn't work

• “Nobody joined in 120 s”. The device didn't go into pairing or is too far from the coordinator. Bring it closer and try again.
• “Interview failed”. Reset the device again and retry: this happens with battery sensors that fall asleep mid-interview.
• The bridge is silent. Ask “Homer, check whether everything is fine with the home” — Opus calls diag.

After adding

Place the device on the home plan in the app or web version, in edit mode: Opus names the device and checks it, but doesn't put it on the plan.
