Smlight SLZB-06 new installation. Can not pass the Zigbee2MQTT Onboarding page

Hello, all.
I am completely new to Zigbee. I just bought the “SMLight SLZB-06” coordinator and installed following this guide: from “Lazy Tech Guy”.

Everything went well until open the zigbee2mqtt Add-on, it shows the Onboarding page with almost all the fields grayed out and a submit button at the end.

By pressing the submit button I get the message:

Settings saved.
Zigbee2MQTT is now starting…
You can close this page.

So I close the page and if I open the Add-on again from the left menu in Home Assistant, I get the same Onboarding page and not the page were I can start adding devices.

This is the info of the coordinator:

These are my settings:

The Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA Config generator…

# 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 → "Edit in YAML")
serial:
# Location of SLZB-06
  port: tcp://192.168.1.116:6638

  disable_led: false
# Set output power to max 20

What I am missing?
Thanks in advanced

Set this :arrow_up: to false hereOn /homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml

If you fill out the configuration file via the addon, it grays out the manually configured fields.

From another thread I replied to

For Onboarding

  1. Place the Z2M in the sidebar to assist with onboarding

  1. Leave these fields clear in the Z2M config

  1. Start Z2M and then click the SideBar link, you should see the onboarding screen.
  2. Fill in your config data there.

Leaving the serial field blank did the trick.
I restarted Home Assistant and clicked in the Zigbee2MQTT in the sidebar and didn’t open the onboarding page, it went straight to the device page and could add successfully my first Zigbee device.

LiQuid_cOOled, Thank you so much for the prompt and effective answer
Best Regards
