Hello,
I am new to the home automation world (don’t really have experience, until now I had only my vacuum connected to HA) and I bought a Sonoff CC2531 Zigbee USB dongle as I have seen it is compatible with ZHA from factory.
My setup is as follows : host server with a Debian VM on which I have a docker container with HA. I made the pass through for the USB dongle from the host to the VM and I added the necessary lines in my docker-compose in order to have the dongle visible in the container. On the VM the dongle is seen as :
[9257779.403887] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd
[9257779.871033] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0451, idProduct=16a8, bcdDevice= 0.09
[9257779.871039] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[9257779.871042] usb 3-2: Product: TI CC2531 USB CDC
[9257779.871044] usb 3-2: Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
[9257779.871047] usb 3-2: SerialNumber: __0X00123456789
[9257779.929204] cdc_acm 3-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[9257779.935354] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
[9257779.935357] cdc_acm: USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters
In the container, if I check for usb and serial devices, the dongle is present :
bash-5.1# ls -lha /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Texas_Instruments_TI_CC2531_USB_CDC___0X00123456789
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Aug 20 22:48 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Texas_Instruments_TI_CC2531_USB_CDC___0X00123456789
bash-5.1#
So everything seems OK.
Now when I go in HA and try to add the ZHA integration, it asks for the radio type, I choose ZNP. Then it asks for the path, I insert the path found above and I let the port speed as it is (115200).
After submitting, it just hangs on the spinning circle.
After activating debug logs, all I get when doing the same steps again is below and nothing after :
2021-08-20 22:48:43 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setting up zha
2021-08-20 22:48:43 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup of domain zha took 0.0 seconds
2021-08-20 22:48:43 DEBUG (MainThread) [zigpy.appdb] Current database version is v6
2021-08-20 22:48:43 DEBUG (MainThread) [zigpy.appdb] Loading application state
2021-08-20 22:48:46 INFO (MainThread) [zigpy_znp.zigbee.application] ZNP is not configured, forming a new network
It is just like it hangs at “forming a new network”.
I also tried to map the dongle in /dev/ttyACM0 instead of the path by-id and when doing all the steps the first screen lists only /dev/ttyACM0 (not the list of radio types) and after submitting, it also hangs.
After it hangs (several minutes with the spinning circle) I refresh the page and on the integrations page, the ZHA integration appears as “Not loaded”.
I then decided to let it spin for more time and the result was an “Unknown error” (and still nothing in the logs) :
Has someone managed to get this to work in HA?
Am I missing something?
Am I doing something wrong?
