FW 0004-0321: 804E may return wrong info => use 8002 instead

[tcharp38]

Seen with FW OPDM 3.21, "hybrid" mode on Abeille plugin

Summary: The 8002 message show invalid datas but the 804E gives datas anyway... so wrong datas

I suggest to no longer use 804E and simply decode 8002 to detect such behavior.
At least.. this is now the way Abeille will handle LQI response.

Hybrid mode was put in place for discovery and analysis of new devices, it was never in our mind ( @badzz , nor myself) to have a production running in hybrid mode, as you are getting duplicate messages

[tcharp38]

I don't care about duplicated messages but I care about wrong infos.
804E is definitively not reliable if the incoming packet is wrong as shown above.

So if "hybrid" is not "production" level is "raw" mode better ?

[pipiche38]

on our plugin with zigate, we rely on the standard mode and the 0x804E behaves correctly.
the zigpy library works with the RAW mode , I don't have much feedbacks on that

[tcharp38]

Ok thanks.
I'll add to test raw mode before leaving hydrid.
