New to zigbee2mqtt and Mosquitto Broker

I am very new to HA.
Im running HASS.IO on RasPi
I have previously set up a MiLight Bridge purchased from h4nc.zigbee with little issues
just installed zigbee2mqtt, Mosquitto Broker and a Coordinator and Router from h4nc.zigbee.
I seem to have the Zigbee2mqtt and Mosquitto set up and running as I turned on a new Sylvania bulb and my zigbee2mqtt tells me I have 2 device connected 1 being the router.
QUESTION: How do i add the bulb to HA interface?
Ive tried to follow https://github.com/danielwelch/hassio-zigbee2mqtt
and
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/integration/home_assistant.html#controlling-zigbee2mqtt-via-home-assistant

but keep hitting dead ends.

Go to developer tools - > mqtt and listen to zigbee2mqtt/#. Do you see messages ?

I copied and pasted zigbee2mqtt/# into listen to a topic and pushed start listening.
Nothing on that screen or in the z2m add on logs.
here is a sample of my logs this morning.
zigbee2mqtt:info 2020-01-03 07:45:58: MQTT publish: topic ‘zigbee2mqtt/0x00124b000be8944e’, payload ‘{“state”:true,“led_state”:false,“linkquality”:10,“description”:“64527/0xF0D1B800000E0305”,“type”:“NEIGHBOR”,“rssi”:0}’

zigbee2mqtt/#

got it see above

I’m suspecting I’m missing something in my configuration.yaml or devices.yaml
I have read through this a few times but I think it for a much older version and cant find this or how to crerat this dialog box.

If you don’t see anything when you listen to zigbee2mqtt/# , I think your mosquitto configuration is not correct.

All logs look good…z2m addon and mosquitto addon
I have 2 devices in the
\share\zigbee2mqtt\devices.yaml file
But they do not show up as entities when I try to create a card for them

There is a package on this page :
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/integration/home_assistant.html

Just copy it to your packages directory and it should show up.

Your devices should show up in your entities if your broker is working.

This will not get you help!

If you don’t see anything when you listen to zigbee2mqtt/# , I think your mosquitto configuration is not correct. You should see at least this :

I still see nothing from listening to topic zigbee2mqtt/# but mqtt-explorer running on my PC shows this.
I guess I could try a different broker than Mosquitto

Show the configuration of your mosquitto add-on. Did you create a user in HA for the mosquitto add-on ?

First - Thank You for helping!
Yes I did Create a User
here is my config
{
“logins”: [
{
“username”: “!secret mosquitto_user”,
“password”: “!secret mosquitto_password”
}
],
“anonymous”: false,
“customize”: {
“active”: true,
“folder”: “mosquitto”
},
“certfile”: “fullchain.pem”,
“keyfile”: “privkey.pem”,
“require_certificate”: false,
“quiet_logs”: true
}

Hi QuadRAGIN,

have you got it working again (without reinstall the whole thing)?
Ahhh…sorry, I see, it’s from Jan 20…ok, that’s a while.
But I run into a similar story…ikea bulps and remotes are still working, but I can not learn new ones into the system.
Now, I had the great idea to reinstall the Mosquitobroker … super. Now all ikea-integrations are gone and I cannot reinstall them again. urgs. therefor my question to this old thread. Found nothing else what sounds like this problem…
