Hass.io + ConBee - automate smart plug

Configuration
1

I have setup hass.io on my PI and connected my ConBee ll stick. By deCONZ I can now connect to the controller and add new devices and the first device I have added is a Aqara smart plug (non wifi version) https://www.aqara.com/eu/smart_outlet.html and it is now listed under devices/lights
SmartPlug
I can click on the device to turn it on and off so there is a working connection between the device and the controller

If I go to Developer Tools in Home Assistant the new device is not listed there in the states tab. I would like to add an automation for this device so I need to know the entity id.

Is there something else that I need to do to get this setup working?

The term hass.io has been deprecated around 6 months ago. Did you add the deconz integration in Home Assistant (Configuration -> Inetgrations -> Add Integration -> deconz)?

Thanks for your reply.
deCONTZ was added from supervisor/add-on store after following this article https://www.amalytix.com/en/blog/home-assistant-with-conbee-ii-deconz-xiaomi-aqara-and-hass-io-from-scratch/

I understand if things has changed since then, so do I need to do this config in some other way?

Presuming the answer to that is ‘no’, then that’s what you need to do.

Addons are separate software from homeassistant, so you needed the addon to actually run deconz - now you need to integrate your deconz devices into homeassistant.

Edit - I’ve just checked the link you provided and this step is definitely in the guide, immediately after adding devices in the addon.

Thanks for the help. The link says that the integration was for ios så I had skipped that. I have now added the integration and everything is working fine.
