I’m trying to add Zigbee compatibility to the Hass.io (not Home Assistant) using a Zigbee USB stick. I bought a dresden-elektronik ConBee USB stick but the configuration is driving me crazy.
There is any Zigbee USB stick that can I add using a component in configuration.yaml?
This won’t work for you? I have personally gone the Zigbee2MQTT CC2531 route and am very happy with it. But if you are invested in this already I’d say don’t give up.
You might be misunderstanding how the zigbee stuff works.
You don’t add zigbee devices in configuration.yaml (same is true for z-wave also). You go to the developer tools and call zha.permit and then press a button on the device you want to add (or turn it on, insert battery, etc. - whatever the manufacturer instructions say).
After a few seconds a new device will show up in your entities list. Then you can use the device.
replace the usb_path and database_path with whatever is appropriate for you, then restart. Then,
To add new devices to the network, call the permit service on the zha domain. Do this by clicking the Service icon in Developer tools and typing zha.permit in the Service dropdown box. Next, follow the device instructions for adding, scanning or factory reset.
