I tinkered with this and indeed I did this on a vera plus and managed to get my vera plus’s zigbee to show up on Home Assistant first shot. The Zigbee port on the vera is ttyS2 and its baud rate is 57600. It seems like the bellows library with the zigpy/ zha component support many more devices than the vera.
It also took some edits of the /etc/init.d folder to make the vera come back to this state after reboot.
My recommendation is to install nano and then add “exit” on the second line of the cmh-ra, lighttpd, and add 2 lines ’ /usr/sbin/ser2net -C “7676:raw:0:/dev/ttyS):115200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT” ’ (edit for your particular port and baud rate) followed by “exit 0”. Also comment out every line of /etc/crontabs/root. And voila…
Edit: forgot to mention, the vera uses a silabs Ember chip so you need to use the EZSP protocol.
