Zigbee2mqtt on raspberry-pi, Mosquitto on HAOS, devices found - sensors unknown

I installed zigbee2mqtt on a raspberry-pi 2b running ubuntu 22.04. I have two IKEA Vindstrykers paired via a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus - with latest firmware. The IKEA sensors have the latest firmware.

I have mosquito MQTT broker configured on my Home Assistant OS.

I also have MQTT Explorer add-on installed on HAOS. It is receiving device sensor payloads from both devices like:

{"humidity":44,"linkquality":188,"pm25":2,"temperature":27,"update":{"installed_version":16777233,"latest_version":16777233,"state":"idle"},"voc_index":198}

The VINDSTRYKER devices are found by the MQTT broker, but the sensors found are all marked as unknown. They are all logged in as the same Home Assistant mqtt-user.

I have run out of ideas to fix this - These are the first devices I have tried to connect to my first installation. Thanks…

Install mosquitto on your raspberry-pi 2b, and reconfigure your mqtt integration to use that one.
The add-on is buggy at the moment.

I’ll give that a go - thanks,
Do you know of any documentation for doing this?
Still finding my way around…
