[Feature request]: Bind improvements - warnings, queue checks for wake-up, etc
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
If a device fails to bind all attributes/parameters on pairing (for whatever reason) Z2M never tries again to bind that attribute - it just doesnt report the data; there is no warning in the log or on screen. Frustrating when you are not a Z2M expert.
Z2M Bind is missing two huge things...
- check device definition vs what is enabled in Bind
- queue the Bind process until device wakeup so it can bind properly instead of -only- trying immediately and failing.
Describe the solution you'd like
Z2M Bind is missing two huge things...
- check device definition vs what is enabled in Bind ... warn users if the device as defined attributes but they are not bound.
- allow the user to Bind an attribute and queue that bind until the next device wakeup so it can bind properly instead of -only- trying immediately and failing.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I only figure this out by looking at all settings any trying to interpret what I 'think' should be there... I'm not a zigbee or Z2M expert... I should not have to be. Z2M Wiki has no help or troubleshooting steps for a situation where "data is not showing up" but the attributes are there Discord people are worse than useless (simply blamed the device or firmware) and
Additional context
This is a great app but please try to build it easier to use for non-experts... more fail-safes, warnings, etc.
