RaspBee2 not working

Configuration Zigbee
1

This is my first try to use home assistant, so I am very new to it.
I installed HomeAssistant on my Raspberry Pi with HA OS and Supervisor.

So far, the OS is working fine.
To connect some ZigBee devices, I bought the RaspBee 2 (RaspBee II Installation).
I plugged it onto the pi, rebooted and thought ‘here I go’. I tried hto add the integration for ZHA. According to this (Zigbee Home Automation - Home Assistant), I selected the only available serial device path (/dev/ttyAMA0) and let the ZHA try detecting the radio type, which failed. So, I selected the ‘deCONZ’ radio type and typed manually the serial device path ‘/dev/ttyAMA0’. So, it says ‘connection failed’.

So, I tried to install the deCONZ Add-On, where I also selected the /dev/ttyAMA0 device because its the only one selectable.
With debug, the log says the following:

The reconnects are going on as long as the add-on is running.

I found some tutorials with Mosquitto broker or something, this seems very complicated. Isn’t there a easier way to get the ZHA integration working?

Thanks!

See this topic:

I did the following:
I unsquashed the “disk” partition, created the config.txt in /mnt/boot/, added the line like in the topic above and squashed the partition.
But, after booting, the problem is still the same.

4

Sorry, but that seems totally wrong. There is nothing to squash or unsquash. You just have to edit (not add) your existing config.txt.
Not /mnt/boot just /boot

5

I searched all 4 partitions from HAOS for a config.txt, the one in disk/mnt/boot/ is the only one.
In the topic above, I am not sure if he was using HAOS or did it with containers…

6

OK, you’re not the first one that doesn’t find the boot partition on HA OS. There are 8 partitions by the way. Easiest way is to shutdown HA OS, insert the SD card in a windows computer and edit config.txt there.

7

Oh, alright… I’m running on Linux, this only was detecting 4 partitions.
Give me a few secs, I will be back soon.

8

Alright, I found and edited the config file with the dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt part.
I started the pi, but nothing changed, there is still no connection to /dev/ttyAMA0.

9

Enable UART in the Kernel and disable UART use for BlueTooth.

In /boot/config.txt add following lines:

enable_uart=1
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt

Remove the console entry by removing any of those entries from /boot/cmdline.txt if present:

console=serial0,115200 console=ttyAMA0,115200

Reboot your Raspberry.

10

Thank you, I was not aware enabling uart.
I don’t deleted the only line in the cmdline.txt: dwc_otg.1pm_enable=0 console=tty1
I rebooted, but still the same problem.

11

You are sure you uninstalled ZHA ? If both ZHA and deconz try to access the raspbee it won’t work either.

12

You mean in the Add-Ons? There are deCONZ, Mosquitto broker, SSH & Web Terminal and Zigbee2mqtt bridge, all of them were installed while trying to get ZHA working. Which should I uninstall?

13

I would uninstall deconz and zigbee2mqtt. These probably try to access the raspbee too, and only one integration can access the raspbee at the same time.

14

Thank you. I uninstalled and rebooted, but still the same… :confused:

15

what does

ls /dev/serial/by-id/

return ?

16

There’s no folder serial in dev, I already checked that :frowning:

17

Then I suggest you contact DRESDEN ELEKTRONIK tech support. Your raspbee may be defective.

18

Alright, I will do. Thanks man!
Just to be sure: The SSH & Web terminal can get access to all needed files and folders on the system, also /dev/serial/by-id/?

19

If protection mode is off : yes. I don’t know if protection mode is on.

20

I deactivated the protection mode just after install, so it should be able to.
I just mailed to phoscon support and will keep you updated.
