I’ve bought a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 usb dongle plus and I want to install this in my Home Assistant.
version
I see it’s all about the add-on you need to install first. Is there any way i can bypass this with my core version and install the zigbee?
I tried everything.
I installed the mosquitto via ssh (sudo apt-get install mosquitto) and i configured the broker. how do install the MQTT add-on with no add-on tab?
the screenshot beneath is from the add-ons but i dont have the add-ons.
You run HA Core (in a venv), so do a Linux install
Or Docker, which will make your life easier:
will do that thanks. how do you eventually make the connection from HA to that container? Do i need to fill in the ip and port of the container in the mqtt broker configuration in HA?
The other way around. In the Zigbee2MQTT configuration you fill in the IP and port of your mosquitto. Same in the MQTT configuration in HA.
I got this container running now with the following compose file:
also see i have some errors:
version: '3.8'

I modified the configuration.yaml with the correct serial path. Do i also need to configure my broker also like you said?
In your zigbee2mqtt configuration.yaml
(this is mine)
homeassistant: true
permit_join: true

base_topic: zigbee2mqtt

cant make it work with this
You need to adapt it to your configuration, e.g. your mosquitto is probably not mqtt:10.0.0.66 but the ip of your HA, and the port needs to be adjusted to /dev/serial/…
Changed the configuration file like this now:
GNU nano 7.2 configuration.yaml
homeassistant: true
frontend: true

base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
server: mqtt://192.168.2.80
user: mqtt-user

the ip is the ip of the HA, do i need to be able to see the integration in HA after this, because i dont see yet.
You need to install the MQTT integration
That should be OK. Do you see errors in the Zigbee2MQTT log ?
the only thing i see is the port in zigbee2mqtt is 8080 and the mqtt in above screenshot is facing to 1883, is that a problem?
My log says:
Can you share your log maybe? I don’t see any ’ running ’ logfiles.
Maybe delete the advanced section in your configuration.yaml
That is the port of the webserver
That is the mqtt port
Log should be in
/opt/zigbee/data/log
i see it’s constantly restarting, maybe my configuration file is not OK.
After i delete the advanced section i get:
Log says this:
I don’t run docker myself (bare linux install), but according to
your docker compose file needs to be changed
devices:
# Make sure this matched your adapter location
- /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_26ef72ee35afed1188363b4e71c9e8b5-if00-port0:/dev/ttyACM0
you did not include the :/dev/ttyACM0
and then in configuration.yaml port will be /dev/ttyACM0
Ok i did that now. also plugged in a powered usb hub on my raspberry pi. because i did see this
" * If you still get this error after increasing the panID (as explained here) and you are using a Raspberry Pi with other USB devices attached (e.g. SSD) try connecting the SSD or adapter through a powered USB hub."
now i have this in my log
Configuration.yaml looks like this:
Do i forget something?
Your broker isn’t responding (but please, share text as text, not pictures of text).
Try installing MQTT Explorer on your laptop/whatever and check that you can connect.
