Cannot start Zigbee2MQTT AddOn

I used ZHA before. When trying to switch to Zigbee2MQTT. I removed the integration with ZHA. When starting Z2M, the following error is displayed:

I use Aeotec Zi-Stick as a controller.
The device appears as /dev/ttyUSB0.
The entire HAOS is hosted on a Synology Virtual Machine.

You have to install / configure mqtt first. Without it z2m will not work. Have you installed / configured mqtt addon?

I installed Mosquitto broker for Tasmota configuration.

is it working?
As I remember you have to configure this z2m addon to point out to your mqtt ip, port and provide username and password for mqtt broker.

For Tasmota configuration works fine.

If you are sure that mqtt broker is configured properly in z2m the only thing left to check is config for a coordinator. Maybe it is wrong port, or it doesn’t have permission to access it.

Show your Zigbee2MQTT configuration.

Nn a completely new HAOS machine I set up only MQTT and Zigbee2MQTT and now I have the error:

If you don’t want to show your Zigbee2MQTT configuration.yaml, ok. But you have to make adjustments.
Zigbee2MQTT thinks you have a CCxxxx adapter, but you have a silabs adapter.

So add under serial

  adapter: ezsp

so (but keep your port, don’t copy mine)

When I insert the adapter: ezsp entry, I cannot save the change.

Maybe try to install a recent zigbee2mqtt. That one is more then 3 years old.

OK, it’s running on the brand new HAOS. I will try to do exactly the same on my main HA

OK, everything is working fine. Or at least that’s what I think. Migration time.
Thanks for the help
