For me it is exasperating that in a new installation, with everything apparently well configured, of these problems. I’ve been trying to solve this for hours but no matter how much I search and read I can’t find anything.
I would appreciate any solution…

Do you need an mqtt user and password?

mqtt:
  server: mqtt://192.168.1.xxx:1883
  user: stuff
  password: things

No idea if thats the issue or not, but I know I can’t connect to my mqtt without a password.

esbuse · February 4, 2025, 8:59am

I have entered the username and password and I am still the same, thank you…

How your SLZB-06M configured?
Coordinator or router?
SLZB-06M work as router based on Zigbe2mqtt.

fleskefjes · February 4, 2025, 10:16am

What firmware do you have installed on the SLZB? you can log on and check at http://192.168.1.145

esbuse · February 4, 2025, 10:42am

Latest firmwares, both zigbee 20241127 and driver 2.7.1
I read this in the firmware notes:
´´´
Change your config:
adapter: ember
rtscts: false
´´´
Will it be okay to put it on?
Thanks

fleskefjes · February 4, 2025, 10:47am

You already have ember specified. You have the Coordinator firmware installed, not the router one right?

esbuse · February 4, 2025, 10:48am

Everything updated: firmware, location, time, dhcp off…
It is in coordinator. It only works on router??

fleskefjes · February 4, 2025, 10:49am

And you don’t have ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) installed as an integration? Do you have this icon as green or gray when Z2M is not running?

esbuse · February 4, 2025, 10:55am

It´s installed yes. Isn’t it Zha and Z2M?? Or it’s zha or z2m…

Modo LAN |Z2M/ZHA| Internet … like your img

fleskefjes · February 4, 2025, 10:58am

So there’s the error. If the icon is green while Z2M is NOT running that means something else is connecting to the SLZB, in your case ZHA.

You cannot have both ZHA and Z2M at the same time pointing to the same coordinator. If you want to run both, you need two coordinators and there will be two zigbee networks that cannot mesh together.

Thanks to you I was able to solve the problems of the ports but it still does not start:

Try to use mDNS Zeroconf discovery.
Besides serving as a coordinator some adapters can also be used as a Zigbee router, one of the adapters is SMLight SLZB-06M.
What firmware version you install to SLZB-06M?
Main error is:

|[2025-02-04 08:44:54] info: |zh:ember:uart:ash: Port closed.
Check port configuration.
