Trouble Starting Zigbee2MQTT

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hey all -

I’ve been considering adding a couple of zigbee products to my automation setup, so I’ve been trying to see if I can get a zigbee network started up before I purchase something I won’t be able to use.

My setup is on a raspberry pi 4, and I have a skyconnect zigbee/thread USB dongle.

My configuration is:
server: mqtt://core-mosquitto:1883
user: mqtt
password:
port: >-
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_e4ae90900692ed118d8dcbd13b20a988-if00-port0
adapter: ezsp

I followed tutorials to get zigbee2mqtt working but it fails to startup with the following errors:

when i use adapter: ember i get

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Me too. Did you find a solution?

3

What firmware is installed on the dongle?

5

I’m using SkyConnect 4.3.2

6

Multipan won’t work like that with Zigbee2mqtt.

7

What should I do?

8

Best flash ZigBee firmware 4.4 and use ember.

9

Where do I get this from?

10
11

I flashed 4.4.0 and still same errors.

I actually don’t need multipan as I only have zigbee devices (no matter or thread).
Do you know if NabuCasa_SkyConnect_EZSP_v7.2.0.0_ncp-uart-hw_115200.gbl should work better?

12

You still flashed rcp (multipan) firmware and not ZigBee firmware. Indeed try the latest ncp firmware…

13

I flashed the latest 7.3.2 and got different error:

You have to use

adapter: ezsp

A little late but I finally found my solution after giving up for a couple of months lol. Actually found it on this page, which I haven’t actually seen before or seen linked anywhere.

Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 (home-assistant.io)

They suggest to add a couple of more lines to the configuration that I haven’t seen added by other people, assuming its specific to make skyconnect work.

serial:
      adapter: ezsp
      port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Nabu_Casa_SkyConnect_v1.0_-if00-port0
      baudrate: 115200
      rtscts: true

After I replaced the port with the port-specific line to my skyconnect, zigbee2mqttt fired up perfectly for the first time. Hope this helps anyone who stumbles across this thread!
