[Device Support Request] EnOcean PTM 216Z ZGP Generic Switch + Wall Switches EWSxZ and EWSxZG #478
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Has anyone here tested and can verify if the battery-free EnOcean PTM 216Z (PTM216Z) and EnOcean PTM 215ZE (PTM215ZE) Zigbee Green Power Generic Switch Pushbutton Transmitter Module works with zigpy and ZHA in Home Assistant or if require a quirk device handler or since it is a ZGP (Zigbee Green Power) device or if it perhaps even first also requires modifications to zigpy and/or all of its radio libraries?

This device can work on any channel, not only 15, 20, 11 or 25. For this refer to the EnOcean PTM 216Z manual chapter 5.3

Same with EnOcean PTM 215ZE

I believe that these are also the same modules used in energy harvesting EnOcean Easyfit Batteryless Single / Double Rocker Wall Switch Models EWSxZ (EWSSZ / EWSDZ) and EWSxZG (EWSSZG / EWSDZG) manufactured by EnOcean

Zigbee ID: "GreenPower_7"
These devices are supported by the zigbee-herdsman and Zigbee2mqtt project:
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/GreenPower_7.html
blakadder Zigbee Device Compatibility Repository mentions this in regards to Zigbee Green Power devices:
https://zigbee.blakadder.com/EnOcean_EWSxZG.html
"Green Power is a feature of Zigbee that allows for energy-harvesting technology to be used directly with the Zigbee stack. Green Power devices do not send standard Zigbee messages. To use a Green Power device in your Zigbee network you need a "translator". Currently only a Philips Hue device can serve as a translator. Your Zigbee Green Power device has to always be in range of a Philips Hue device to function. Green Power devices don’t support binding and are not included in network scans."
Disclaimer: I do not own one of these myself but created the issue on behalf of @dieneuser who posted in the ZGP (Zigbee Green Power) request for zigpy in zigpy/zigpy#341
@dieneuser can hopefully fill in more information here, such as device signature in ZHA, plus which exact Zigbee hardware adapter and firmware he is using with ZHA in Home Assistant?
Device signature - this can be acquired by removing the device from ZHA and pairing it again from the add devices screen. Be sure to add the entire content of the log panel after pairing the device to a code block below this line.
Anyway, he said he is currently using it deCONZ gateway software (Phoscon OS) which does support it but with these limitations:
"Note that ZGP devices (like the Hue tap and FoH switches that harvest kinetic energy) currently don't work over the mesh network; they need to be in direct range of the coordinator. Also note that ZGP devices aren't shown in the deCONZ GUI."
"These switches use custom values for state.buttonevent please refer to the related GitHub issue pages for more information."

Describe the solution you'd like
Support for ZGP (Zigbee Green Power) devices like the Hue Tap Switch Model 9290011152X by Philips and the EnOcean PTM 216Z ZGP + Easyfit Batteryless Single / Double Rocker Wall Switch Models EWSxZ and EWSxZG manufactured by EnOcean.
See POC Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman#92 for ZGP (Zigbee Green Power) proof-of-concept used by zigbee-herdsman and Zigbee2mqtt project:
Additional context
ZGP (Zigbee Green Power), a.k.a. "Zigbee GreenPower", is a subset feature of Zigbee that allows for energy-harvesting technology to be used directly with the Zigbee stack. Using Zigbee Green Power, certain home automation devices (end devices) may be powered by energy harvesting solutions, which when enabled introduces the potential of battery-less devices (end devices) operating in a Zigbee network.
