ZigBee, deCONZ ConBee USB, Setup

Running: RPI3/Z-Wave Aeon Labs Z-Stick Gen5/Zigbee ConBee-deCONZ-USB /Hassio 0.61.1

After installing the USB-dongle, the Zigbee ConBee-deCONZ Hassio add-on, I had to reboot ResinOS for the add-on to be able to start.

  1. HA dispalyed then two Phillips Hue configurators:
    HueCon
    How can I hide this. The Entity “configurator.philips_hue”, State has no “hidden”-attribute?

  2. At http://hassio.local/80 I am getting this:

What is the login parameters?
And how do I connect other Zigbee devises?

3)Is there any work going on so this add-on will have a control panel like the z-wave panel in HA?

  1. It is the discovery component that handles that, look in to its configuration.
  2. delight / delight
  3. Well, I want to do this, but no time at the moment. Plus I have no gui / web experience.

First, huge respect to you and the others developing and supporting HA. Makes n00bs like me able to take part in the process!

  1. It is the discovery component that handles that, look in to its configuration.

Have looked at the addon-files. And cant find code relevat to Hue config.
Neither have I any Hue code in my configuration.yaml.

One other thing. I am getting an MQTT-Error when restarting Hassio, I have this in my config-file:

mqtt:
discovery: true
discovery_prefix: homeassistant

And its a conflict with the ConBee-deCONZ Addon, the Log saying “Unable to find service mqtt/publis”: Somthing with the 8080-port (config.json)

Update:
The reason for the double Hue Config, is me using the Hassio-Addon AND copying the conbee-files to the addon-folder. After deleting the files I added myself, the “conbee” -folder appeared without me having access. And the double Hue config is gone : )

The MQTT-problems is still there.

When you want to control the deCONZ software, to add switches / lights, etc…

The suggested route is to visit: http://www.dresden-elektronik.de/pwa

The app on this url will scan for deCONZ gateways in the local network and connect you to the more modern interface Dresden is developing. Also see the Phoscon app documentation

If you have deconz running on the same machine it might be that it is using the 8080 port, but port should be configurable

The Hassio-deconz Addon is running. And there is no option for setting ports. Here is the code for deconz.
ConBee

The Hassio embedded MQTT broker uses default Port 1883.

The Hassio log is till showing errors.

018-01-23 19:08:02 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [mqtt]: [Port] is an invalid option for [mqtt]. Check: mqtt->mqtt->Port. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 97). Please check the docs at MQTT - Home Assistant

2018-01-23 19:22:51 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Unable to find service mqtt/publish

I could use another MQTT broker. But the initial error remains. A conflict between the embedded MQTT and the Addon. As far I can tell.

Id recommend you talking with the creator of the docker to modify the ports since the mqtt is already available in the community

This has become an uphill battle…

I have got a api_key in my Hassio deconz.conf file:
“api_key”: “943567HH98”,
“host”: “192.168.0.25”, (PC/Windows 10)
“port”: 80

I have tried with and without “deconz:…” in my Hassio configuration-file (with also “discovery:”).
I am running deConz on Windows 10. Have stopped the firewall. And I am not getting the deConz software to get connected to my RSPI3/Hassio.

I have added some Osram Ligthify bulbs to the local http://hassio.local:80 -deConz interface. I am able to control the bulbs. But I am not getting any sensors in Hassio.


Any ideas where I am doing wrong, why sensors are not showing up?

I think you have to use the port 8080 or some other nonstandard port since 80 is probably reserved by another web service

Can I set a non standard port in the Hassio Addon-Conbee deCONZ webinterface (Options)?

I think you have to specify that before starting deconz.

I suggest creating an issue with the guy that created the docker to get support, I don’t use the container nor do I use hass.io.

I posted the issue here:

Update:
Things started working with Hassio version 0.62.0.
But deConz is still in conflict with the ineternal MQQT brokers Websocket port 8080.

Not sure what was solved here, but please assist me by pointing to a solution? Ive got the Conbee attached to my Pi3 Hassio install and nothing happens? Discovery does nothing, nor can I add the new Integration, because it doesn’t recognize the usb dongle…

Where to start/go?

You need to make sure that you specify the address of the dongle with the addon first

Yes, but how can I do that, if the add-on won’t install because it can’t find the dongle… seems a chicken or egg issue :wink:

That I don’t know, I recommend you to create a ticket on the containers GitHub.
