Add Zigbee device on Dashboard

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi all,

I’m a real beginner with Zigbee and HA, so please bear with me :wink:

I added a cheap USB stick to my raspberry pi “default” HA installation, added the Z2M addon and it works fine. I was also able to add two Zonoff temperature devices in Z2M:

They correctly show temperature and humidity and stuff:

But in the device’s details, I see that they are deactivated:

When I click on the link, I’m forwarded to this page:

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/device-availability.html#availability-advanced-configuration

It has a lot of yaml config gibberish which I don’t understand because I never touched a configuration.yaml and it doesn’t say where/how I can edit this :frowning:

I’m kind of at a loss here. I tried to google it, but people either stop explaining before this step, or do not tell how they added the entity to the dashboard. I’d think that if I go to the dashboard, edit, insert “temp_” in the entity field, then it should pop up, but it doesn’t (screenshot only barely helpful):

Any idea what I’m doing wrong and how I can put the temperature on my dashboard? :frowning:

ugh, ok, I had to add a MQTT integration, set the server to localhost, the account to mqtt-user and the password to … well :wink:

It works now.
