Zigbee2MQTT not starting

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hello,

I am running HomeAssistant in a VM on my Synology NAS.
Ive got a Conbee2 ZigbeeStick connected and mounted in the VM.
When i try to start Zigbee2MQTT i get the following Error Message:

[16:34:41] INFO: Preparing to start…

What should i do? What is the Problem?

As I just tried out Zigbee2MQTT for the first time two days ago, so I won’t be the best one to help, but I suggest you enable “zigbee_herdsman_debug” (on the config page if you’re using the Add-On) for the logs to see if it reveals any more information, and maybe show what your config looks like.

The spawn udevadm ENOENT error, if I had to guess, is that it can’t find your USB device.

I had the same problem yesterday.
I tried a lot of tips from various forum threads without success.
I think I might made a mistake in the config and the adapter: ezsp (for sonoff dongle E) under server part instead of under serial: row… but I’m not sure.

Anyhow, I uninstalled Zigbee2MQTT, rebooted, reinstalled, configured (obviously correct 2nd time) and then it started…

Well, i tried to re install everything a couple of times. But it did not help.

I also tried to add the the port of the stick in the Z2M settings. But then i get this Message:

Anyone know what to do?

Have you tried the adapter settings? For experimental models you need to adjust specific adapters in order to get them working properly.

serial:
  adapter: deconz

Any luck here? I also have the failed to load herdsmen error. I have the Sonoff stick and Zigbee2Mqtt worked on my former HomeBridge setup. I read so many posts indicating to upgrade the stick so I did that, same error. And I did verify the correct port as has been suggested.

I am open to other ideas?
