Configuration Zigbee
357

WOW 3.0 released with VNC support :slight_smile:

358

now, i want to migate from marthoc to this one, so what are the best steps?

  • make a backup file in phoscon
  • stop marthoc addon
  • remove integration in HA
  • start official addon
  • restore backup file in phoscon
  • install integration?

or are the integration / backup stuff not needed? if not, is every entity still there in HA , no renaming needed?

359

I believe the backup/restore is 100% needed.

However I don’t think you need to remove the integration from HA; just stop one, start the other and restore, then restart HA. Not sure it will work, but that’s my plan. I just don’t want to lose the entity customizations that would get deleted if I removed the integration. I’ll probably be trying it for myself tonight or this weekend.

360

i always thought that the config stuff is also on the conbee stick itself, so backup is also not needed
backup/restore only needed when the conbee stick is being replaced when its broken or something

361

well, i just tried, indeed you need to restore backup file, otherwise you dont see anything in phoscon
once backup is restored, it looked OK
but after restarting HA, i have error below, not sure where i need to change that IP manually,
i think we need to remove integration and readd, but not gonna to that now, so back to marthdoc :slight_smile:

2019-06-27 21:06:10 ERROR (MainThread) [.] Error connecting to deCONZ gateway at 172.30.32.1

ok, i have it running now, ignore the IP stuff above, seems the port is changed
so marthoc use 8080, but this ones uses 40850 , so change that to 8080 , or change the core.config_entries file like below
then after restart HA it works… no need to remove and readd integration (thank god) :slight_smile:

                "connection_class": "local_push",
                "data": {
                    "allow_clip_sensor": true,
                    "allow_deconz_groups": true,
                    "api_key": "xxx",
                    "bridgeid": "00212EFFFF02A480",
                    "host": "172.30.32.1",
                    "port": 40850

maybe this stuff can be added to the migration stuff on the “migration to this addon” part
i think more people are now want to convert from marthdoc to this offcial addon, since it now supports VNC

I can’t get the VNC to go. I successfully upgraded to version 3.1, however, in the network section there is no field for VNC port. I can only specify ports for “deCONZ API backend” and “deCONZ WebSocket Server”. Can anyone help?

364

you need to fill in 5900 for example, otherwise its disabled by default

ow: you have no VNC field at all? can you post a screenshot?

365

Here you go (I can set a VNC password but no field for VNC port):

Just fixed it myself! I had to click on “Reset to defaults”. Then the field appeared. Very strange…

Hi I wish to move my Conbee from a pi3 to a HASSIO NUC.
Any advice which addon to use and where to put the backup file (hope I don’t need to reconnect my 60+ devices).
I have the 3 files session.default, zll.db, and config.uni saved

368

Are you moving your Hass setup from a pi3 to a NUC or just the Conbee?

369

I’m having a hell of a time migrating over to the official and maintaining a working configuration

After I backup, stop old addon and start the new addon with restored backup, all my integrations are unavailable. The devices show up in deconz both via phoscon and vnc but the HA portion is failing.

I’ve tried removing the integration but when I add it back it, I click the deconz integration and nothing happens. Even restarting doesn’t help and I’m forced to restore a snapshot

Has anybody else had this issue?

–EDIT-- Figured it out. The new addon was using a different api_key for some reason and it wasn’t connecting so I copied my old API key over and now it seems to be working great.

370

Just the Conbee

371

Also the addon does not start (3.1), how do you guys check which port is the Conbee using? (I tried both devices ACM0 and USB0 but the addon does not start, no error in log.

When I clic openwebui I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED


{
  "device": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
  "vnc_password": "xxx"
}

me@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/ttyACM*
/dev/ttyACM0
me@ubuntu:~$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0

EDIT I had to remove the standard port for the VNC server (the log does not help)

372

I tried to upload an old backup (15 February) but is not working, I do have a yesterday backup (deCONZ.tar.gz) from deCONZ website they say it has all the information (3 files).

Do you know how I could restore, using the deCONZ.tar.gz files (not the raspbee_gateway_config_2019-02ì15…dat)?

EDIT: Ok the backup worked, I had to restart the addon, of course now I have all the objects but none is responding

373

To identify USB ports , you can check it in putty …

Well I went back to my pi3, can’t play around too much, since my whole house depends on a COnbee stick for lights.

So I went back on my pi3+Conbee (HASSIO is on a NUC). Now I am facing the problem that all my sensors are registered with a _2 at the end
binary_sensor.xxxxxx_2

if I canel the _2 it fails because it says that entity already exists (but in entity_registry they are not).

Any clue how to solve this (30+ sensors) ?

376

I see that the entities are here

/config/.storage/core.entity_registry.yaml

but they are all with _2 … is it safe to change it there?

377

It’s because those are bound to a different config entry. Best is to remove the old ones from entity registry
