Did you ever received your order? I want to change my zigbee coordinator C2531 w/antenna as it has been flaky even more than ever since I first purchased a year ago.

zigbee2mqtt.io recommend 2 coordinators and one of them is the one your have ordered.

1994

I wouldn’t order that one.

1995

No i didnt. I ended up getting a refund via paypal. Some people paid via bank transfer, requested a refund and they reported still waiting for it.
I would urge you not to order that one (slaesh stick) .
Go with the lama zzh or tube’s hubs

1996

Go with the lama zzh

The official Tube site says it is a Router/Repeater. The link above this post says Coordinator. I am wanting to replace my existing coordinator. The tube is all I need and it will act as a coordinator?

Coordinators are here: Coordinators | Tube's ZB Store

Dear, the cc2531 is extraordinary, you can configure it as a router or as a coordinator.
CC2531 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com.
Here you will find how to configure and examples.

2001

thank you my friend!
i will look on it. I need also the source code that i will get from github if i am right.

2003

Hello again, i managed to configure the module but how can i see it on HA? I add the repo but how to see the front end and add devices?
Thanks again

2004

Are you using the addon or some other install method?

2005

hello, all devices should appear in the MQTT, read the logs and look for the new members of your devices.

2006

Thanks again,
The zigbee2MQTT from supervisor? Where to find the front end? I am missing something i think :stuck_out_tongue:

2007

In the setup page (via supervisor page) choose Show in Sidebar, then click on Zigbee in the sidebar.

2008

oh i would never found it my self ! Now appears as “bad gateway” message but i think i have to add in .yaml the port.

2009

Have you started zigbee2mqtt?

Try again after a few seconds.

2010

yes normally, start with boot. i will try restart also.
Except if i need to add in .yaml also the port but think this optional. only frontend: is the neccessary?

2011

What yaml file are you referring to?

My addon setup is

I thought that i would not needed to add something in configuration.yaml file or in the
/config/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml
Probably i was wrong.

Hi, I am pretty new to HA and MQTT but I really like it so far! Some things are new or unclear to me so I hope some of you can help me out once in a while.
I’ve found out it is possible to set the retain option for my devices, but I am wondering:
Is it necessary to specify a retention value when using the retain option? What happens if I don’t?
