Zigbee2MQTT Devices not found

Configuration Zigbee
1

I recently installed Home Assistant in combination with Zigbee2MQTT. With a little help, it worked well. Now, I decided to make my life a bit more complicated and installed Proxmox—a VM for Home Assistant and a VM for MQTT. The connection between Zigbee2MQTT, the cordinator and MQTT works; I can control the lamps from the add-on (Zigbee2Mqtt), but the lamps somehow do not appear under devices. Which setting is still missing?

If you show your current settings (configuration.yaml in the Z2M vm) that would help.

MQTT Server

1742143915: New client connected from 192.168.0.31:46160 as mqttjs_7416379c (p2, c1, k60, u'zigbee').

Do I need to install the addon MQTT in Home Assistant, or does Zigbee2MQTT forward the values directly to Home Assistant? If so: as soon as I install MQTT, Zigbee2MQTT ignores my configuration.yaml and connects with core-mosquitto instead of with 192.168.0.32

No, but you need to install the MQTT integration (is different from the MQTT add-on)

Thanks. It works. I am an idiot. :slight_smile:
