Newbe needs some help with zigbee2mqtt and mosquito broker

[mac-doggie]

Hey there,

I just installed Homeassistant on a raspberry pi 4 and tried to configure it. I installed the zigbee2mqtt addon and mosquito broker addon

I filled in my serial port number for the Conbee II that I am using, and tried to start the zigbee2mqtt addon, but it keeps giving me this error:

Gemini says that it seems like udev is not installed, but I can not install that myself I think, as everything is running in containers and when a container restarts it’s gone agian, so there is probably something else that is going on here. I cannot imagine that something that is needed for this to work is not installed by default. I am probably doing something wrong.

Here’s my config:

data_path: /config/zigbee2mqtt
socat:
  enabled: false
  master: pty,raw,echo=0,link=/tmp/ttyZ2M,mode=777
  slave: tcp-listen:8485,keepalive,nodelay,reuseaddr,keepidle=1,keepintvl=1,keepcnt=5
  options: "-d -d"
  log: false
mqtt: {}
serial:
  port: /dev/ttyACM0

[Noripsni]

I am having this same exact issue. I’ve added/changed configuration.yaml file but still isn’t working. This is on a Dell MicroPC with HA OS installed(not windows). Using Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus (ZBDongle-E).

[Noripsni]

Hey Mac-Doggie! I just got it working!
I know we aren’t on the same platform but if you’re using the dongle like the one I have (E version not P) this is my config within the Configuration Tab in zigbee2mqtt. Also, I erased everything I had manually put in the yaml config files and secret.yaml.

Note: I do get a warning about adding ezsp but I’ll look further. At least it’s progress!

data_path: /config/zigbee2mqtt
socat:
  enabled: false
  master: pty,raw,echo=0,link=/tmp/ttyZ2M,mode=777
  slave: tcp-listen:8485,keepalive,nodelay,reuseaddr,keepidle=1,keepintvl=1,keepcnt=5
  options: "-d -d"
  log: false
mqtt:
  server: mqtt://core-mosquitto:1883
  user: mqtt_user
  password: [Masked]
serial:
  port: /dev/ttyACM0
  adapter: ezsp

[mac-doggie]

@Noripsni

ezsp

Thanks, I also tried to add adapter: ezsp and also get a warning about it being deprecated, but also:

[Noripsni]

You have to have your mqtt sever added like mine does. Can you post your config again? Or did you add the server elsewhere in a config?

[Noripsni]

Also, I just updated the dongle following the instructions here.
After the updated I changed the “adapter: ezsp” to “adapter: ember” as instructed.

[stevemann (Stephen Mann (YAML-challenged))]

Are you sure of your serial port?
Settings → system → hardware and click on All Hardware. Then search for Sonoff. Mine is on ttyUSB0. My Coral dongle is on ttyACM0.

I also tried ember as instructed by the deprecation warning, but that also resulted in errors. The mqtt I didn’t fill in because the tutorial said: If you don’t use the mosquito broker addon, fill in the mqtt. I am using the Mosquito broker addon, so I skipped that. I also don’t have any url, port and password info to fill in there. I expect that to be handled by the addon

I found out where this information was: settings / devices and services / mqtt / config / reconfigure.

I now also added the mqtt to the configuration, including the password I found in the MQTT configuration (which I replaced here in the forum with [MASKED] like in the other example)

I also changed ezsp to ember. Now I get this error message. Seems like it still want to do something with ezsp.

I found another youtube tutorial of someone that said that if you have a conbee stick, you need to fill in adapter: deconz

I also tried that, but this gives me:

I now got as far as that I needed to install another addon called deCONZ. Now my log output is as follows:

It looks like it can not open /dev/ttyACM0

Resource busy… that is like it is already doing something…
I trired rebooting the raspberry Pi 4, and I also tried to change the serial port name to:
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2692170-if00
which is the name I found in the config of deCONZ. But the result remained the same.

– edit –
Hmm, maybe the deCONZ wasn’t needed at all. Seems like that is a whole different way to add the zigbee devices. I NOw found out I can already add my devices to the conbee II, but still the Zigbee2MQTT is not working.

It is better to use by_id:

data_path: /share/zigbee2mqtt
socat:
  enabled: false
  master: pty,raw,echo=0,link=/dev/ttyZ2M,mode=777
  slave: tcp-listen:8485,keepalive,nodelay,reuseaddr,keepidle=1,keepintvl=1,keepcnt=5

Hi, did you found any solution to get zigbee2mqtt running?
I think setting the adapter to ‘deconz’ is mandatory (I’m using the Conbee II as well). I’m currently experiencing the same error like you:

I’m running Home Assistant in a VM.
I had set up the zigbee2mqtt container directly on my host machine, there it worked.

A couple of months ago, I played around and added the DeConz Addon in HA. Is there a way to verify, that there is nothing left from it? Not that some old components still have an influence.

I am still struggling with this. I tried a lot of stuff with the help of AI, but still didn’t get it to work.

Isn’t there anyone that solved this same issue already. I just bought an ordinary pi 4, and a commonly used cobee II stick, I’m sure this is exactly the same configuration most people use when experimenting with home assistant on a raspberry pi.

I can’t imagine noone solved this same issue already.

[daneboom]

Just got this error out of nowhere
Can’t start the addon
@Koenkk if you have any idea?

[ShadowFist]

Which specific error?

Also, do not tag people who aren’t part of the thread, see:

I had the same error:

Error: TIMEOUT
    at Driver.processBusyQueue ...

on a fresh installation of Home Assistant with a ConBee III.

But I had started setting up the ConBee for ZHA before setting up zigbee2mqtt, so it was already (half?) set up for ZHA (when I noticed, it was listed as a device for ZHA but with a warning that some configuration was still missing). Anyway, I removed the ConBee from ZHA and now it is working with zigbee2mqtt.

This is the serial config I am using for zigbee2mqtt:

port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ConBee_III_DE03220655-if00-port0
adapter: deconz
baudrate: 115200

[danka621 (Daniel)]

I tried to start with:

cd /opt/zigbee2mqtt && npm start

First I thought my problem was:
error: z2m: Error: Error while opening serialport 'Error: Error Resource temporarily unavailable Cannot lock port'

Then I realized that logs were created every 10-15 seconds under /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/log/.

Each of them contained a timeout error.
Log files stopped being created when I ran:

sudo systemctl stop zigbee2mqtt

That also changed the output of my npm start command to produce timeout errors:

error:    z2m: Error: TIMEOUT
    at Driver.processBusyQueue (/opt/zigbee2mqtt/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/deconz/driver/driver.ts:515:28)

    at processTimers (node:internal/timers:529:7)

Am trying to get zigbee2mqtt working with deconz ConBee II in proxmox LXC.

Adapter is seen inside the container:
