Unable to join a device to Zigbee2MQTT

Configuration
1

I’m using zigbee2mqtt with the Mosquitto broker add-in.
All works well, apart from I have 3 x devices that were previously connected to Smartthings, which I cannot get to join the HA zigbee2mqtt network.

I know my config is OK, because I remove a device from my HA zigbee2mqtt and added it back OK.

lLl three devices I am trying connect are Xiaomi (2 x temp sensors and 1 x movement sensor), I know these devices can be a pain for going to sleep, but I can’t seem to connect these 3 at all?

ANy help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Try holding the device button until it flashes, then push the device button repeatedly every second or so until it pairs. They are finicky.

I got them working in the end, I came from Smartthings and then Openhan where the Xiaomi device either need a special device handler or zigbee2MQTT. So I didn’t think of trying to connect them directly to the Zigbee integration. Anyway over the weekend I managed t connect all my Xiaomi devices to directly to Zigbee. This has had the advantage that I have removed my Zigbee2MQTT integration and Mosquito.

So the moral of the story is to try the Zigbee integration first, I hope my experience helps others.
