Can't get Zigbee working in HA

Configuration Zigbee
,
1

Sup all. I just can’t get zigbee2mqtt or zha running. I had it running on a pi before with a conbee2 working fine. Now I moved to a new Server running home assistant inside a vm in Unraid. Passed through my Conbee II and couldn’t get it to work, but it was recognized by ha. Then I bought the Sonoff-E Dongle Flashed it and the add-on is still not starting. If I look inside the logs from Mosquitto I can see that something is happening. Adapter was also set.

Small consolation here. I’m in the same boat, holding a ConBee II that I tried to make work over a year ago, and threw in a box in frustration. Now that Third Reality automations with Alexa are broken, I’m turning to my (fully functional, with complex automations for managing my garage grid battery) Home Assistant system to get it working, especially now that Third Reality “just works” with HA – supposedly!

The problem I run into is similar to yours in that this text-based console nonsense makes no sense in the context of Home Assistant, which is entirely GUI-driven. None of the advice I find related to Zigbee makes any sense, as everyone refers to config YAML files (which don’t exist in the GUI interface - and even when edited manually, they’re almost all always blank or can’t be located). I have no intention of writing code just to get a device paired.

What I expect the workflow to be, for a production-ready integration:
Plug in the dongle → System recognizes it. Click “pair a device” → Put device in pairing mode. See device in list → Pair the device. Boom! Zigbee device is added and you can now interact with its data, automate it, build triggers on it, etc.

No MQTT hoops, no picking a platform to install, no logging into its internal deCONZ nonsense, no configuring MQTT logins for it to talk to itself, no decoding ID strings, no manually creating entity IDs, no complete nonsensical “writing the architecture that should have already been present” bridge-building insanity. Just. Let. Me. Add. The. Devices.

2024, and I’m still sitting here with a ConBee II on my desk adding to my grey hair. This is why people choose to stay with the cloud.

I completely understand your frustration, and it’s unfortunate that you’re facing such challenges with integrating your ConBee II into Home Assistant. Usually HA works really fine for me, but not in this case.

I believe though that there are configuration YAML files for Zigbee2Mqtt, ZHA and deConz. They are also really easy to configure and don’t need any coding skills. In the current state, there is no real way out then playing a bit with ha configs and troubleshooting.

My last idea that I haven’t tried is rolling back to an older version of HA and/or Zigbee2Mqtt, both I really want to avoid. So if there are any Ideas im happy to try.
