Phoscon/deCONZ/RaspBee not discovering any lights

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hi all,

so, I’m trying to run HA with a RPi 3B+ and a RaspBee from Dresden Elektronik.

hass.io is version 130, HA 0.77.3, and I’m using the deCONZ add-on from @marthocoo (version 2.05.35).

It all starts, steady red light, Phoscon App opens in my browser … and finds nothing.

I’ve done a wee bit of research, added the enable_uart=1 and disabled bluetooth. I’ve logged in to the host (-p 22222) to confirm that dmesg no longer shows any bluetooth modules are being activated, and I have both /dev/ttyS0 and ttyAMA0.

[ 0.854870] 3f201000.serial: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0x3f201000 (irq = 87, base_baud = 0) is a PL011 rev2

I don’t think the RaspBee itself is at fault; when I load the image from DE directly (https://www.dresden-elektronik.de/funktechnik/solutions/wireless-light-control/raspbee-gw-sd-card-image/), the test light (a Hue bulb) is discovered.

I have tried the factory reset (via the dimmer switch, red blinking briefly) prior to pairing it again, no luck.

I’m somewhat close to giving up and just running the deCONZ gateway on a separate RPi, but that feels like … well, like giving up :wink:

Any hints? Thanks!

I’ve fallen behind on updating these projects but I think the answer to your particular problem might be found in this issue: https://github.com/marthoc/hassio-addons/issues/17.

Indeed! Thank you so much. Somehow, I missed this different approach during my Google searches.

As a tangent, might I ask why you’re no longer updating the projects? (They’re really helpful.) Have you found a better approach to integrating ZigBee?
