Zigbee2MQTT Error: TIMEOUT

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hello, I try to use Zigbee2MQQT with ser2net. I have a older Pi3 with a Raspbee running deconz and I thought that I can keep that setup because it just runs since years, and have Z2M also using it.

I am confident that I setup the Pi3 correct, but my Z2M doesnt start properly. Here are the logs:

My configuration has this setup for the serial:

port: tcp://192.168.0.226:20108
adapter: deconz

Whar could be the problem here? Mosquitto Broker is also installed.

You want both Deconz and Zigbee2MQTT use the one Raspbee ? Won’t work. It is either Deconz or Zigbee2MQTT, not both at the same time.

Okay, I very much like the fact that deconz is easy to use with Alexa. I have a IR Blaster that doesnt work with deconz, that is why I want to have Z2M.

Without paying for HA Cloud, can Z2M be exposed to Alexa in the same way that deconz does it?
