Changing from ZHA to zigbee2mqtt

Configuration Zigbee
1

Having problems setting up ZHA with one of my sensors and was told to try zigbee2mqtt. But I’m missing something again… Deleted ZHA. Restarted HA. Installed Mosquitto broker add on, made user for mqtt. Installed MQTT integration and used the new user I made from Mosquitto instructions. Installed zigbee2mqtt addon and nothing works. I’m using a tube-zb usb dongle and change port for it. Added the frontend and experimental lines. Added login info. Still getting errors and web ui does not work. Here is the info from each of them. What am I missing???

Seems Zigbee2mqtt can’t open the port. Don’t you have to use socat when using the add-on with a remote port ?

3

No I don’t think you need socat, but the docs do recommend using the IP address, not the hostname.

4

Tried the IP address again and still errors.

serial:
  port: tcp://IPADDRESS:6638

lmao okay just realized what I did. Where do I go to find its IP address?

6

Either look in your router/dhcp-server, or use a program like fing on your phone.

7

But its usb. Its not showing up on my router. Wouldn’t I need to find it on the Pi thats running HA?

8

is it this one ?

or this one:

If it is the first one, it is pure serial, and the tcp:// will never work.

9

yes the first one. Only usb.

10

Then

must be something like

serial:
  port: /dev/ttyUSB0

Thank you. Spent hours yesterday searching and reading trying to figure out what I was missing That did it. Every things looks like it is working now. End of my logs.

USB connected devices usually cannot be accessed via an IP address unless it’s ex. a WiFi adapter :wink:
