Hello,
I am a beginner and have been trying to get Zigbee2mqtt running for more than 4 hours. Here is the error message.

I use a Cod.m Zigbee Cordinator.

Can someone please give me a hint on where I can look for the error?

You need to specify the adapter.

serial:
  port: tcp://192.168.0.74:6638
  baudrate: 115200
  adapter: zstack

Then I reinstall the entire mini PC and do a firmware update, and then it’s just a line in the code. Thank you very much, it’s working now. :slight_smile:

I edited your post to remove the network key. Not a huge security risk (people have to be physically there to use it) but best not to share it in future.
