Zigbee2mqtt: getting rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges (Xiaomi, Hue, TRADFRI)

JohanA · October 5, 2020, 2:38pm

To me, it seems that HA update 0.115 has broke something on Zigbee2Mqtt. The network is crashing multiple times per week suddenly after the update and setting “permit_join: True” seems to crash it too quite often. I updated zigbee2mqtt to 1.15.0 but it did not help. The problem seems to be reported on Github already though it is not only Hassio problem.

Waiting my CC2652 and hopefully that helps with the problem. Only thing is that most likely never going to receive the stick as the seller seems to be selling air and not the sticks but that is a different problem

Hi, everything is working fine for me. I’m on version 1.14.4 and HA 0.115.2

First of all: thank you for the work you did put in this tool. Worked from the first moment like a charm.

Edit: So ok, I fixed this… Seemed one of my wires wasn’t properly connected

Hi guys,

I’ve done a pretty big refactoring for the add-on (see: https://github.com/danielwelch/hassio-zigbee2mqtt/pull/443/files).

I need people that want to test the new version. You can try it by using this repo: https://github.com/zigbee2mqtt/hassio-zigbee2mqtt

You can also join the Zigbee2mqtt Discord for discussions around this.

Im experiencing the same problem

nickrout · October 12, 2020, 7:29am

As co-incidence would have it, I was trying to help in this thread, and I see you have changed the docs in the new refactor. I am even more confused In the meantime, can you assist? (or point him to the right discord? Zigbee2mqtt - unsupported device integration

ciotlosm · October 12, 2020, 8:10am

The problem with the docs is that the information was not grouped based on needs. Also the approach using devices.js is not really something that should be supported in the long run now that external_converters are supported.

Hi everyone,

I have the following problem.
Since the new zigbee2mqtt release v1.15.0 the following device ( bridge / info ) appears to me, and I cannot remove it.

What could that be?

I didn’t have that before

Try using the built-in UI (click Show in sidebar) and see if that still shows that “device”.
Also make sure you have

experimental:
  new_api: true

bernhard · October 14, 2020, 10:24am

Could be just an MQTT topic that you can remove with MQTT explorer

Kabala · October 14, 2020, 10:39am

the (bridge / info) is no longer displayed.
And the coordinator is no longer displayed either.

And linkquality is zero.
Some things are not right there.

ciotlosm · October 14, 2020, 11:25am

Coordinator details should be found under settings /raw but I have no idea why the LQI is 0. Maybe try and check the mqtt message that it’s using.

ciotlosm · October 14, 2020, 11:26am

The bridge/info is probably a new topic in the new version, so you can’t just remove it if it’s being used.

bernhard · October 14, 2020, 12:09pm

True. Most likely zigbee2mqtt assistant is not up to date here.

Kabala · October 15, 2020, 12:47pm

How can I disable the built-in UI?

frontend:
  port: 8080
experimental:
  new_api: true

nickrout · October 17, 2020, 4:39am

I have recently installed Zigbee2MQTT Assistant. Very nice.

One thing puzzles me though, why is my co-ordinator reported as having Link quality is 111/255.? Surely this is the Link quality between the coordinator and itself, and should be perfect?

skittulici · October 19, 2020, 8:51am

Hello!
Is there a way to manually define a network route from an endpoint to the coordinator?
I have some Xiaomi movement sensors that have 0 signal. I placed and Ikea Tradfri expander in between the sensors and coordinator but the sensors do not connect to the Tradfri, they are still connecting to the coordinator. Can I force them to do so?
Thank you.

Tinkerer · October 19, 2020, 10:04am

You have to remove them and then re-pair them. The Xiaomi devices won’t re-route.

skittulici · October 19, 2020, 10:21am

Ok. I’ll try that tonight. Thank you

Hello everyone,

I opened a new thread seeking some help with Zigbee2Mqtt installation but not much luck there… so I decided to come here as there so much awareness in this thread, sorry if its not suitable though.

I am struggling to get this addon to work and I really would appreciate some help if possible. So, I have Hass OS 4.13 installed in a VM in Unraid. Zigbee2Mqtt addon was installed using supervisor addon manager, and everything is updated.
The issue is when I try to start the addon, HassOs prompts me a window with the message “Unknown error, see logs”, No logs within Zigbee2Mqtt addon log, but when I have a look at supervisors logs I get the following error:

The thread I opened, I was suggested that could be due to a permission issue or missing folder/file as printed in the log. I have created the folder and files and adjusted the permission using FTP as follows:
error2

Even though I have created the folder/file with different combinations to ensure the address matches Zigbee2Mqtt doesn’t start still. Am I missing anything? Any idea?

Thanks guys.
