Can not see z2m devices to make dash boards

Configuration Zigbee
1

I’ve been using ZHA and a HubZ ZigBee HUSBZB-1 coordinator. It works fine but it is old.

I am trying to set up a second zigbee network on another channel using a slzb-06m. The Z2M dashboard shows my test device and I can turn it on and off so that part works.

I can’t find the device to add to my HA dashboards.

Looking at the Mosquito add on in my HA install I see these log entries

So I’m curious what belongs to 172.30.32.2

hassio_supervisor appears to be it. I’m thinking that is my problem but I have no clue as how to fix it.

Help please.

I understand what you are saying, I’m not writing an automation, I don’t see my smart outlet as a device or entity in Home Assistant, only in z2m.

Settings → Devices & Services → MQTT → Your device → Entities

I see that I have MQTT pointing to a broker on my pc that I was doing some node red stuff with and brought in some sensor readings to HA from my diy sensors.

MQTT needs to be pointed at the broker on my HA box and it doesn’t look like I can use two brokers.

Sorry if this is rambling, it is late. I reconfigured pointing to the broker on the HA box and I saw the devices I paired to z2m.

Thanks

You can bridge them.

That was the clue I needed. I have things working now.

I’ll eventually move my diy sensors over to using the broker on HA but that will be when the snow is on the ground and I’m stuck inside. I may convert them to esphome.

Thanks
