Hi everyone,
I’m very new to Zigbee2mqtt and Hass.io; so I apologise in advance if this question is stupid, but after a week of having this error I am unsure where I am going wrong. There’s some flaws in my knowledge which I am hoping someone can plug.
I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running Raspbian Lite. I have installed Hass.io using the guide: https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/tree/master/install#install-hassio
I have installed Zigbee2mqtt using the following guide: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/wiki/Running-the-bridge
When I log into Hassio and go to Hass.io -> Add-ons -> zigbee2mqtt
The following error message is constantly on repeat.
"zigbee2mqtt:error 2018-10-3 16:25:02 Not connected to MQTT server!"
So my first question is, what is the correct configuration to stop this error from occurring? I don’t quite understand what my MQTT server is.
I have already managed to pair my first device, so when I start Hass.io I receive:
zigbee2mqtt:info 2018-10-3 17:18:56 Coordinator firmware version: '20180815'
zigbee2mqtt:info 2018-10-3 17:18:56 Currently 1 devices are joined:
zigbee2mqtt:info 2018-10-3 17:18:56 0x00158d0001e7932d (0x00158d0001e7932d): WXKG11LM - Xiaomi Aqara wireless switch (EndDevice)
However, when I press the button on the switch, it returns the error:
zigbee2mqtt:error 2018-10-3 16:27:23 Cannot send message: topic: 'homeassistant/sensor/0x00158d0001e7932d/click/config', payload: '{"icon":"mdi:toggle-switch","value_template":"{{ value_json.click }}","json_attributes":["battery","voltage","action","duration"],"force_update":true,"state_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/0x00158d0001e7932d","availability_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state","name":"0x00158d0001e7932d","unique_id":"0x00158d0001e7932d_click_zigbee2mqtt"}
zigbee2mqtt:error 2018-10-3 16:27:23 Cannot send message: topic: 'zigbee2mqtt/0x00158d0001e7932d', payload: '{"battery":"100.00","voltage":3055,"linkquality":92,"click":"single"}
I can only assume I am getting this error because of the first MQTT error? Below are my configuration files for Zigbee2Mqtt and Hass.io.
Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
The configuration file for Zigbee2mqtt is in the folder: /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data, contents are below
# Home Assistant integration (MQTT discovery)
homeassistant: true
# allow new devices to join
permit_join: true
# MQTT settings
mqtt:
# MQTT base topic for zigbee2mqtt MQTT messages
base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
# MQTT server URL
server: 'mqtt://homeassistant'
# MQTT server authentication, uncomment if required:
# user: my_user
# password: my_password
# Serial settings
serial:
# Location of CC2531 USB sniffer
port: /dev/ttyACM0
There is another Config in Hass.io -> Add-ons -> zigbee2mqtt
{
"data_path": "/share/zigbee2mqtt",
"homeassistant": true,
"permit_join": true,
"mqtt_base_topic": "zigbee2mqtt",
"mqtt_server": "mqtt://homeassistant",
"serial_port": "/dev/ttyACM0"
}
The configuration file for Hass.io which is found in: /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant, contents are below:
