Running haos
ha: 2024.6.4
supervisor: 2024.6.0
SLZB-06 is currently on firmware: 0.9.9 (but I tried each one)
I tried both stable and edge versions of Z2M
i try to fresh install my SLZB-06 and I always get this in the log:

SOLVED: I flashed the 20221226 zigbee firmware and power cycled the thing. Then everything fell into place. And of course unplugged my old SONOFFâŠ
I have the exact same problem. I donât have a ton of devices so I have even tried uninstalling Z2M and reinstalling it. All in vain. My SONOFF dongle and an innr plug/router is disconnected so I think I have tried everything.
I had the same problem and the solution, which worked for me is described on the SLZB Control Panel, under the Z2M and ZHA menu. As it says by Zigbee2MQTT:
â# Pay attention, if you use the Z2M addon for HA, it is better to edit Z2M addon yaml configuration file directly (Select the 3 dot menu in the upper right corner â âEdit in YAMLâ)â
I got stuck with an Error while starting zigbee-herdsma in the Log of my Zigbee2MQTT add-on because I had used the Copy to clipboard button from the SLZB-06M control panel to paste the given code to the Configuration tab (serial textarea) of the Z2M add-on in UI view and I hadnât noticed that I had ended up with 2 nested serial: nodes in the yaml until I switched to YAML mode! (with the 3 dots like they suggest)
Very vicious
thanks, it works. It was the same issue with the SLZB-06 , and was solved by adding the serial: notes to the configuration. Very annoying the latest update for Z2M⊠((
In the control panel, on the SLZB-06, I pressed Read current IEEE and copied the address that appeared from there and cop
ied it to Flash custom IEEE address but it doesnât work anymore Z2M. I tried many things including a flash by connecting to a USB computer. But it still doesnât work. Please Help!
Solved
I took the IEEE address from an older backup, modified it in the coordinator, restored the system and finally managed to solve it. Unfortunately, my devices disappeared from Z2M but I will add them again. Thanks everyone!
Ah man, you saved from pulling my hair out thanks! - Im very new to Z2M via the SLZB-06. I had config a lot of devices, and worked very well. Then after a reboot of HA, I could not start Z2M - as this post is old. Are you still on the same firmware update, have you update, any issues with Z2M?
So, my challenge is: where is the Z2M addon yaml configuration found, or is it something different entirely if Home Assistant is in one Docker container and zigbee2mqtt is running in another docker container (as I have in my setup, with homeassistant, musicassistant, eclipse-mosquitto, and koenkk/zigbee2mqtt containers running on my system?)
My challenge seems to be similar, zigbee2mqtt has no problems communicating with my SLZB-06 at an IP address or mdns name, but zigbee-herdsman fails to start:

Firmware is up to date, all components recently restarted⊠just not getting herdsman happy with my configuration somehow?
Possibly relevant: I have an ethernet connected SLZB-06M acting as Zigbee Coordinator, and the SLZB-06 is WiFi connected, USB powered, and configured as a Zigbee Router??
O.K. so, I have tried a lot of things⊠the SLZB-06M operating in zigbee coordinator mode wants (according to the zigbee2mqtt configuration frontend) to connect with ember protocol instead of zstack - so it gives a different fail message:
So, I have a eclipse-mosquitto server in a docker container alongside the homeassistant container. I am publishing various data to it, mostly CPU temperature readings once a minute from the various computers around the house using mosquitto_pub in simple scripts, and the MQTT integration in home assistant is handling that data nicely, so I know those components are working⊠Iâm pointing my zigbee2mqtt instance at that eclipse-mosquitto server with the same address/port that mosquitto_pub is using.
Where would I find my Z2M config to share it?
I got the 06M first, and it has been rock solid for all my ZHA stuff, I added the 06 as a router to get better signal to an out-building, which it is doing well, but is located away from wired ethernet access. I might try swapping them, but Iâm not convinced I need zigbee2mqtt, I just thought Iâd try it to see if I could get some additional data from some of my sensors.
