Zigbee2MQTT not starting - Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus with HA and Zigbee2MQQT

Hello all

I have been trying to setup Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus with HA and Zigbee2MQQT with frustration and no success.

I have read alot od the forums on this topic and watched lots of youtube videos with no success.

Onboarding page is available at http://0.0.0.0:8099/

ZHA is not enabled

Look forward to any help.

I just solved it. Deleted the port information that I hardcoded and went through the onboarding and manually selected the USB device…bingo worked
