Hi @scottdarby,
Before I order the debugger, sniffer, and hardware cable from one of the drop shippers, do you happen to have any pre-flashed CC2531’s available?
I haven’t unfortunately, Sorry about this.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the lead to the CC2531 a couple times fixed it for me. I assume it was just a bad connection.
No worries, I thought it was worth asking 
I tried wiggling the connections, and got a green light - Once!
But it still didn’t show up Flash Programmer (under Program CCxxxx SoC). And after disconnecting and reconnecting, I haven’t been able to get it back to green, regardless of jiggling & resetting for 30 minutes.
But it seems you guys are right, it’s “just” bad connections, so I’ll keep at it… Or end up ordering new components, we’ll see how patient I am 
Anybody tried flashing one of these using the arduino? Mine just got here and getting ready to give it a go. Just wondered if there was anything I needed to look out for.
I did the same a few months ago. Just follow the guide in the wiki and you should be fine:
The only challenge I experienced was to connect the wires to the tiny connectors of the CC2531 because I did not have the downloader cable.
I just try to get a little smaler and easyer to configure automation
You understand what I try to do?
Instead on a condition for every single button press letting Jinja do a little more work
Something like this (sadly this dont work(yet ))
automation:
- alias: VI ON
hide_entity: true
trigger:
platform: mqtt
topic: 'zigbee2mqtt/0x00178801105efead'
action:
- service: scene.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: >-
{% if is_state("trigger.payload_json.action", "on") %}
scene.sz_max
{% elif is_state("trigger.payload_json.action", "up-press") %}
scene.sz_arbeiten
{% elif is_state("trigger.payload_json.action", "up-hold") %}
scene.sz_arbeiten
{% elif is_state("trigger.payload_json.action", "down-press") %}
scene.sz_lesen
{% elif is_state("trigger.payload_json.action", "down-hold") %}
scene.sz_poppen
{% elif is_state("trigger.payload_json.action", "off") %}
scene.sz_aus
{% endif %}
instead of :

I have an old AVRdude programer that has that small connector on it so should be okay there hopefully. I just hope my old uno still works.
Hi everyone does somebody know to use the zigbee2mqtt.yaml file? I’m a noob, and struggling with the issue on how to enable zigbee2mqtt’s permit_join option?
I can’t get it to work. Thanx in advance.
Didn’t work for me either so just did it manually as you’ll only use it on the rare occasions when you add new things so wasn’t worth the effort to get that card working.

I have flashed usb stick and wrote this in zigbee config:
{
"data_path": "/share/zigbee2mqtt",
"homeassistant": true,
"permit_join": true,
"mqtt_base_topic": "zigbee2mqtt",
"mqtt_server": "mqtt://192.168.1.111:1883",
"serial_port": "/dev/ttyACM1"
}
And this in HA config:
mqtt:
Could you please say what am I doing wrong?
Do you have a MQTT user and password on your MQTT server? If so, you should include them in the configuration.yaml file as well.
This is my configuration.yaml (on docker):
homeassistant: true
permit_join: false
mqtt:
base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
server: 'mqtt://192.168.1.20:1883'
user: xxxxxxxxx
password: xxxxxxxx
serial:
port: /dev/ttyACM0

channel: 11
devices:Hm, today is a first day of trying mqtt. I do not think I have. I did not create anything besides what I wrote above.
Where should I look more info on mqtt server?
Hi, I’m trying to use your script, but the mapXXX.png is allways empty (0kb).
I usually do the same thing with mqtt.fx and it works but for some reason with your script it doesn’t.
I’m running hassio on ubuntu so i’ve change your script to run on my setup.
#!/bin/bash
D=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
mosquitto_sub -V mqttv311 -C 1 -u xxx -P xxx -h 192.168.1.xxx -t zigbee2mqtt/bridge/networkmap/graphviz | sed -e 's/|EndDevice//' -e 's/|[^|]\+(.*)|/|/' -e 's/No [^|]\+|//' | sfdp -Tpng > /tmp/map$D.png &
sleep 15s
mosquitto_pub -V mqttv311 -u xxx -P xxx -h 192.168.1.xxx -m "graphviz" -t zigbee2mqtt/bridge/networkmap
sleep 15s
sudo cp /tmp/map$D.png /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/www/map.png
sudo rm -rf /tmp/map$D.png
I have graphviz installed. Any hints on what could be wrong?
I think it is a ownership problem.
My script is for hassbian, you should check the changes necessary for hassio, the directory structure is different.
Also, you missed the line starting with sudo chown, that should be corrected for hassio.
Ciao!!
is It posible to run this connected on the USB of a openwrt router? i don’t have a rpi, and i don’t want the pc to be On all the time to use this, but the router option would be perfect for me! am i crazy?
Dont forget to check out Home assistant packages. There are new created
