Zigbee2mqtt installation ok, fail when I permit join

Configuration Zigbee
1

I believe I did the configuration right of my Zigbee2MQTT installation (Sonoff USB 3.0 plus dongle, RPI 4B), everything shows up just fine. Just when I click the "permit join(all) button I however get the message

Request 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/permit_join' failed with error: 'SREQ '--> ZDO - mgmtPermitJoinReq - {"addrmode":15,"dstaddr":65532,"duration":254,"tcsignificance":0}' failed with status '(0xc2: NWK_INVALID_REQUEST)' (expected '(0x00: SUCCESS)')'

When I set the permit_join parameter to true in the configuration file, no devices can be added, but there is also no error message. However in that case I can not disable it and I get the message

Request 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/permit_join' failed with error: 'SRSP - AF - dataRequestExt after 6000ms'

Also, after I restart the Zigbee2MQTT service when I did that, I have to restart HAS as well. Otherwise I get 502 bad gateway

I used instructions fromhere to set things up

And this is my configuration file on zigbee2mqtt

just found out that the Sonoff Zigbee integration gives an error “retrying setup”

I did an update of the dongle to the latest fw and still doesn’t work but I also get this message now that the application could not be started

ah, found it…
For some reason also ZHA was installed, that conflicted with zigbee2mqtt

HI, how you solve this issue. I have the same challange.

Any further explanation on what could cause this, I’m having the same issue. I do not have ZHA installed. I updated the FW on the Sonoff dongle to this one: https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware.

This is my config.yaml within the zigbee2mqtt folder:

devices:
  - devices.yaml
groups:
  - groups.yaml

permit_join: true

I’m not sure what this issue might be.

I thought I would update how I fixed this issue. It was the ZHA install as mentioned above, but, what I didn’t realize is that when I plugged in the Sonoff dongle, HA auto discovered the hardware and asked if I wanted to configure it. When I clicked yes, it installed ZHA. It was not mentioned that this is how ZHA was installed on other people’s systems, but this is how it got on mine. Once I deleted the integration that was installed, everything worked as it should. I hope this helps anyone having the same issue and are unaware that the discovered integration will break Zigbee2MQTT.

I’m having the same issue. Already removed ZHA and nothing…

I removed Zigbee2MQTT and installed it again and it worked!
