Two different versions of Z2m on the same server

miomia · January 22, 2025, 10:48am

Is it possible to run two different versions of z2m (1.42.0-2 and 2.0.0-2) on the same server? If so, please help me find my mistake. I have version 1.42.0-2 on three ZIGBI routers (SLZB-06). I connected another such router but could not install the old version and installed 2.0.0-2 . But I can’t connect it, it generates an error (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms) I set photos of settings and logs Thanks

Install in docker containers or a VM.

If docker use macvlan to allow seperate IP but same port or change ports to be used

You need to do similar for vm

Why 2 instances?

Neil_Brownlee · January 22, 2025, 2:33pm

Spacing is out on the serial: entry …

miomia · January 22, 2025, 3:19pm

Sorry but I don’t understand you

tmjpugh · January 22, 2025, 3:25pm

I think he means this

You have


serial:
  port: tcp://192.168.1.244:6638
adapter: zstack

Should be


serial:
  port: tcp://192.168.1.244:6638
  adapter: zstack

My HA supervisor-2024.12.3
I’m afraid to update working z2m to the build version because there are many problems on version 2.0.0-2

miomia · January 22, 2025, 3:29pm

No It got worse

tmjpugh · January 22, 2025, 3:30pm

Not possible run 2 versions with supervised install I suspect

Backup before upgrade or don’t upgrade.
No need to upgrade unless security fix or desired feature.

EDIT
I also don’t see adapter in docs
Maybe remove it

EDIT2
It’s there. Found it
I hope you are not trying to connect both versions to same device. That’s not possible

miomia · January 22, 2025, 3:52pm

I don’t want to update, but I need to add two more new routers (SLZB-06) to the system, and how can I add them if I can’t install the old version of z2m?

fleskefjes · January 22, 2025, 4:06pm

Are you trying to add them as routers (with router firmware) or as coordinators (with coordinator firmware)?

miomia · January 22, 2025, 4:29pm

All my devices (SLZB-06) are connected via a network cable and work as coordinators. I connected the new device to the cable as a coordinator in the same way

Neil_Brownlee · January 22, 2025, 4:31pm

You can only have one coordinator. Flash the others as routers.

fleskefjes · January 22, 2025, 4:38pm

OK, at least that is correct. What are the IP addresses for the coordinators and HA?

In the same zigbee network, this is true, but OP is trying to set up multiple networks.

All though @miomia you should just do a backup, do the required steps before upgrading and then upgrade rather than setting up separate networks.

miomia · January 22, 2025, 5:25pm

HA - http://192.168.1.176/
New ccodinator -192.168.1.244/
Old coordinators ; 192.168.1.47 and 192.168.1.155

Neil_Brownlee · January 22, 2025, 5:27pm

Not sure if it makes any odds but on mine the working config looks like this :

miomia · January 22, 2025, 5:38pm

I changed but the mistake is the same

fleskefjes · January 22, 2025, 5:41pm

OK, so on the same subnet. You have power cycled the coordinators, and they are reachable by the GUI? I still stick with doing the upgrade is the wiser choice though.

miomia · January 22, 2025, 5:44pm

In the system logs, the error is constantly “WARNING (MainThread) [supervisor.addons.options] Unknown option ‘mqtt’ for Zigbee2MQTT (a6c68e27_zigbee2mqtt)”

a6c68e27_zigbee2mqtt is exactly the new Zigbee that I am installing

miomia · January 22, 2025, 5:47pm

All coordinators with old (1.42.0-2) version works A with new (2.0.0-2) does not work

fleskefjes · January 22, 2025, 5:48pm

can you show the /zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml that is in the 2.0 instance that is not working please.
