I understand what you mean about the server line but truthfully am lost on how to ping “core-mosquitto”?
Here’s my logs for the Mosquitto Broker
2022-10-04 10:03:04: New connection from 172.30.32.2:52742 on port 1883.
2022-10-04 10:03:04: Client <unknown> closed its connection.
2022-10-04 10:05:04: New connection from 172.30.32.2:43436 on port 1883.
2022-10-04 10:05:04: Client <unknown> closed its connection.
I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of support forums and on the official website, watched tutorials, i’ve done the process a few times again and I still am getting the same stuck at that “Starting zigbee-herdsman (0.14.62)” message
Not sure it is a MQTT problem, then it should stop earlier in the log. Think it fails in opening the port to the coordinator. I do not have a e-version of the dongle, so can not compare.
How is you setup. Have it ever worked? Have ZHA autodetected the coordinator?
ZHA did recognize it almost immediately when it was plugged in to the RPi (obviously ignored it). I did change my network settings and HA to a reserved static IP on 10.0.0.17/32 but the port settings I assume are the same. I’m still unfamiliar with that and i believe that’s where my issue lies but I’m unsure on how to diagnostic and troubleshoot it. Any suggestions on steps or checklist to follow to eliminate potential issues?
At 5:20 in the Smart Home Junkie video, you can see his log. Your system does not get to the line
Coordinator firmware version: '{"meta":{"maintrel
etc. I therefore believe that your usb stick is not able to be opened. Something else, like ZHA may have it open/locked. Make sure ZHA is properly disabled. Reboot and try again to start Z2M. Also make sure your device name (the bit starting /dev) is correct.
In the future, please post your log as text, not a picture. Copy/Paste, we’ve had it for 40 odd years
