Hi! I have HA installed and running on one Raspberry pi and Conbee 2 installed and running on a separate Raspberry pi. I want to use Zigbee Home Automation on the Raspberry pi running HA. My problem is that I cannot access the Conbee2/Raspberry pi from the HA Raspberry pi. I understand the principal that I must include the serial path to the Conbee in the Zigbee configuration but that information does not appear under the hardware section of HA. It is showing “serial:- /dev/ttyAMA0” but I am pretty certain that this is the serial port on my HA Raspberry pi. Can I manually construct the path from information on the Conbee 2 interface or how else do I get the HA Raspberry pi to search my network for the Conbee 2 device?
I got this working with the help of Femming Sorvollen Skaret. He passed on this link which helped put things in pespective.https://flemmingss.com/how-to-set-up-deconz-and-phoscon-on-a-raspberry-pi-and-control-all-your-zigbee-devices/?fbclid=IwAR0WdzRAZYi3mDsZjZ4ORD7ZTOkFlDQTm9H0jwa0osi23AdNbDna8dzidAE . However the game changer was when I realised that the deCONZ integration appears in two different places in HA. Firstly via Supervisor/Addon Store and secondly under Configuration/Intergrations. The problems I had disappeared when I installed the integration via Configuration/Intergration. I will keep my fingers crossed that this helps you as well!
This is not the integration but the add-on which installs deCONZ, but you already had this running on a different RPI.
Let me explain my set up. RP 1 runs HA. RP 2 runs the Conbee 2. On RP 2 I downloaded the os from Phoscon and flashed the image onto the RP 2 SD-card. I could then access RP 2 via my webbrowser and install lights and sensors etc. So now RP 2 is running the Conbee 2 and I have access to it and control of lights etc. Now I went back to RP 1 and via Configuration/Intergration installed the deCONZ integration. The program had no problems finding the USB port on RP 2 and the installation was no problem. I should mention that I first incorrectly installed the deCONZ add-on via Supervisor and the obvious problem was that it could NOT detect Conbee 2 on RP 2.
The deconz add on is a phodcon server. You already have that running on the 2nd machine.
So you just needed the integration to pull the phoscon info into ha
Exactly, I wish I had realised that from the start. My brain was working overtime to try and figure out why the “add.on” couldn’t find the USB port on RP 2. Now all is working fine.
