Hi,
My HA installation runs on OVA Virtual Machine on a Synology NAS in the basement of a separate building.
I would like to place my zigbee coordinator on the roof where I have ethernet connection in order to get perfect signal propagation without too many routers.
I am trying to get the ZBDongle-P (CC2652P Chip) to work remotelly from the NAS using a raspberry with ser2net version 4.3.3 installed and then telling Zigbe2MQTT to use the IP of the raspberry as a serial port.
Is there a way to test if ser2net has been configured correctly and started the service ?
I see this is a topic no one is discussing
any help appreciated.
Because:
1- Having everything in one place make more sense to me
2- because I have an old raspberry 1
3- to me looks like setting up ser2net is simpler than setting up Zigbee2MQTT on a raspberry but maybe I am wrong.
4- ser2net is used by long time in the IT industry
Also struggling with this identical config/dongle.
EDIT: Got mine working. Make sure youâre using Ser2Net 4.3.11 that enables dtr=off. Armbian bullseye that Iâm running installs 4.3.3, I had to add the testing package branch and install it from there.
Actually got mine working as well. Didnât need the dtr=off for the Sonoff on 4.3.3. The problem on my end is apparently ser2net will start the service before the network loads and therefore doesnât pass anything. You can always restart the service and it will work or you can add a couple lines to the following file: /lib/systemd/system/ser2net.service
On the raspberry pi, and even on a Debian 11 install I tried, using apt install ser2net pulled 4.3.3. No clue why not a newer version than that. In the end it does work for me though so wanted to share what thankfully worked.
Just saw your edit about how to get it to install 4.3.11 At this point itâs working correctly so donât want to mess with a working install. Thanks for letting me know though.
