Zigbee2mqtt bad gateway with conbee 2

Jcarlier · July 29, 2021, 2:57pm

I cannot install the zigbee2mqtt with my conbee2 key while all my zigbee devices are working.

I still have the message:

When using a Conbee II and you get: Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms) when starting Zigbee2MQTT set the following in your configuration.yaml

serial:
  adapter: deconz

strange while my zigbee devices are recognized ??

tteck · July 29, 2021, 4:20pm

Are you running ZHA and trying to run Zigbee2mqtt also?

francisp · July 29, 2021, 5:39pm

You can only run one zigbee stack at the time with the same stick… If your zigbee devices are still recognized, you are running either deconz or zha at the same time. That will not work.

Jcarlier · July 30, 2021, 6:50am

yes i 'm running zha and trying zigbee2mqtt is it the problem?

Jcarlier · July 30, 2021, 7:01am

how can i resolve it ? thanks

tteck · July 30, 2021, 7:02am

YES
Read the post from francisp

Jcarlier · July 30, 2021, 7:09am

effectively, i have deconz in my integrations(supervisor) …
so i have to uninstall it but how can i do that ? thanks

Jcarlier · July 30, 2021, 7:11am

ok i have seen it…

Jcarlier · July 30, 2021, 7:43am

if i understood correctly, it is not possible to use zha and zigbee2mqtt together …

if you uninstall deconz, the zigbee devices in zha no longer work

so how to use zigbee2mqtt? thanks

sorry but i am a beginner in ha

confronted with the identical issue I added the 'serial" entry in configuration.yaml, which leads to the following error:

2021-09-14 12:41:25 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for serial: No setup or config entry setup function defined.

… how to proceed please? only connected the Deconz stick, no other add-on configured

would I need a port forward maybe (since I am not on the default ports with my HA instance )?

francisp · September 14, 2021, 11:05am

The part of configuration.yaml containing serial should at least contain the port the adapter is attached to.

serial:
  port: /dev/ttyACM0
  adapter: deconz

And we are talking about the configuation.yaml of zigbee2mqtt, not about the configuration.yaml of home assistant.

Mariusthvdb · September 14, 2021, 11:45am

thank you! I completely missed that, (probably because there is no configuration.yaml for the zigbee2mqtt add-on, but a configuration panel). Duh. But there is… in the zigbee2mqtt folder. no wonder it is all so confusing. Never use an identical name for different files ;-(

it was immediately successful, how cool is that!

now how to get it to not show under ‘homeassistant’ in mqtt explorer, but under its own login name?

maxym · September 14, 2021, 12:12pm

by default it uses mqtt discovery (which imo is also enabled by default in HA). So the entity should appear immediately (check developer HA page).

If you don’t have discovery enabled or don’t want to use it, you can add entities on your own. usually you can find needed yaml code on zigbee2mqtt portal on page dedicated to particular device.

I suggest however to change the name of device to something more friendly first (use blue edit icon shown on your screenshot)

Mariusthvdb · September 14, 2021, 12:18pm

thanks, and yes, ive changed the friendly name.
Also I set homeassistant: false ( have 3 HA instances, which makes the moniker somewhat useless )

it now is found under:

with as you can see all relevant values in the 1 payload. Before with the homeassisant: true it shows like this:

why I dont get that now is still bit unclear to me. shouldn’t I see that, but under the zigbee2mqtt base topic?

francisp · September 14, 2021, 12:29pm

I have 3 HA instances too, but still homeassistant: true

This is the actual payload, independent if homeassistant true or false

These are the mqtt auto-discovery messages, only when homeassistant: true :

Mariusthvdb · September 14, 2021, 12:35pm

yeah, figured as much so we cant rename the homeassistant there?

maybe more importantly: we dont need those discovery messages for eg creating an mqtt switch? seems a bit of a hassle, where I would have hoped the sensors and switches on the device to be available in the HA entities…

off-topic:
maybe I should explore the ZHA integration too, and see if that does create the entities. Wonder if we can configure that to use the Conbee on another HA instance, just like we can do with the zwaveJS server and integration.

francisp · September 14, 2021, 12:38pm

No. That is the topic HA listens on for auto-discovery messages

If not using discovery, you have to enter everything manual in .yaml (and you won’t have devices, since devices are only created through discovery)
