Hello everybody! I would like to know… How can I setup a zigbee network outside? I mean, not in my Local Area Network. Internet access is not an issue but with a different router.
I’ve already got Home Assistant with zigbee2mqtt and one CC2531 adapter at home, but this new project is because I need to control several zigbee devices in a country house.
Dedicated Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 with a coordinator device, Zigbee2mqtt container and a remote MQTT server to connect to. Use MQTT integration with HA to connect to the same MQTT server and go.
CC2530 connected to a wemos d1 mini ( yes wemos connected to network with wifi )
Install espeasy on the wemos d1 mini and set it up as serial server.
Set up a port forward on your router if the zigbee hardware is located behind a different router / internet connection/location. VPN site to site is another options instead of port forward
install the zigbee2mqtt addon in Hassio and user the tcp mode for serial in the zigbee2mqtt config.
