I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t installed the OS and instead installed it over Linux, because I can’t use the HA Terminal the same as I would SSH into a Linux box.
Can someone tell me how to find the current channel that my Zigbee Home Automation is using? I understand it “prefers” channel 15 - how do I know that’s what it’s using. Zigbee2MQTT apparently “prefers” channel 11 - why do they both prefer different channels?
ZHA uses channel 15 by default and if not configured otherwise. You can look into the host log to find that confirmed.
Zigbee2MQTT uses channel 11 by default.
It could be any other Zigbee channel though.
Sorry, I have sent to you to look in the wrong place…
You need to check the homeassistant-logfile.
Restart Home Assistant and then go to
Configuration → Settings → Log → Load Full Home Asssitant Log
There you’ll find something like
