Error while starting zigbee-herdsman

,

Hi, Im trying to set up zigbee2mqtt. But it just say that zigbee-herdsman cant start.
I am totally new to this but have tried to follow tips from other threads and from YT but nothing works.
Here is the log

For sure your indentation is wrong…but maybe by accident?

But at first glance seems to be ok…maybe usb port setting are wrong?
It is better to use ‘by-id’ as it never changes…

serial:
  port: >-
    /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2481787-if00
  adapter: deconz #required when using conbee😉

I also noted mqtt twice? and one of them with “” ??
should be:

mqtt:
  base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
  server: mqtt://192.168.1.9
  user: <my mqtt user>
  password: <my mqtt password>

tried it now but did not work now it says

ah… but that is the ID of my system, you’ll have to find the id of yours….

5

ooh okey. How do i do that

6

Goto settings/system/hardware and hir the three dots in upper right corner, and select ‘all hardware’

Somewhere in the tty section your adapter should pop up

Ps
I also noted mqtt twice? and one of them with “” ??
should be:

mqtt:
  base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
  server: mqtt://192.168.1.9
  user: <my mqtt user>
  password: <my mqtt password>
8

I fixed that. But i cant find my ID
this is all is says under ttyAMA0
Subsystem:tty

Device path:/dev/ttyAMA0

Attributes:

DEVLINKS: /dev/serial1 DEVNAME: /dev/ttyAMA0 DEVPATH: /devices/platform/soc/3f201000.serial/tty/ttyAMA0 MAJOR: ‘204’ MINOR: ‘64’ SUBSYSTEM: tty TAGS: ‘:systemd:’ USEC_INITIALIZED: ‘7073262’

9

Do from the CLI:

ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/

The above command should output the exact ID you are searching for (linked to: → …/…/ttyAMA0).

10

Also above is incorrect.

You should use the </> when pasting code; as this is yaml and indentation is very important

PS: regarding the port settings, it is better to use ‘by-id’, but

port: /dev/ttyAMA0

is correct (however, there is a change it changes when f.e. using a different port)

I tried it and it did not work

Hey,
I just had the same problem but I got it working. I started with the deConz-AddON and Phoscon but after one update Phoscon always said that the firmware is not connected. That was the reason why I wanted to migrate to zigbee2mqtt. I set this up just like you and had the same error. Then I tried the to get it working on my Windows PC Link and I had the same problem (firmware not connected and clicking the connect button does nothing). Next I just downloaded the last firmware update and installed the update with the GCCFlasher. Here is the manual to do this: Update deCONZ manually · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub

After that my Windows deConz immediately displayed the connected firmware. At last I put the stick in my Raspberry Homeassitant again and restarted the zigbee2mqtt-add-on → zigbee-herdsman started succesfully. There was another problem in my config because I forgot to insert the created user and password in the mqtt-area.

user: mqtt-user
password: <password>

Make sure to create a user in homeassistant for this.

Hope this helps!

I have the same problem, it show me these:

The documentation sections says that I need to Enabling zigbee-herdsman debug logging to starting zigbee-herdsman, but I don’t understand where do I have to put this zigbee_herdsman_debug: true

Please help
