Zigbee2mqtt pairs ok, but no devices on HA

Configuration
1

Hi! i’ve been reading a lot, and learning a lot, but i’m stuck right now, and a little desperate!

I have home assistant installed on my rpi3b, official mosquitto broker add-on and official zigbee2mqtt add-on. Everything looks fine, log of both add-ons looks ok, pairing zigbee devices seems to be ok (got 3 devices paired already), but i can’t see them on home assistant. I think it’s something related with discovery, but i’ve tried several configurations with no success.

My HA configuration.yaml

Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)

default_config:

Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.

What am i missing?

Is this switch on ?

3

Yes, it is. With that switch being on, if i add a device, i see it on zigbee2mqtt log, but anywhere else.

4

Have you tried to reboot everything?
Plugin the usb sitck off an on again sometimes works for me.

5

Ok, normal troubleshooting.

Go to developer tools -> MQTT

image

On listen to a topic, enter # en hit ‘start listening’

On Publish a topic, enter the text from the screenshot, and hit ‘Publish’

Do you see a message received under ‘start listening’ ?

6

Thank you for replies… yes, i see this when i hit start listening:

And still no discovered entities ? If not, try restarting zigbee2mqtt. Zigbee2mqtt sends the messages when starting up, so repeat this while still listening, so you see the discovery messages passing.

8

i already tried to reset everything, every change i do then i do a full reset of every add-on and eaven the server itself, same result always. i was going to try to listen to that topic while resetting zigbee2mqtt add-on but now if i do what you tell me before it doesn’t show anything, without making any changes!! it’s getting imposible… i’m going to look for somebody to send mi hardware, getting i t configured and give it back working.

9

Did you try that ? It might just be some problem with your mqtt broker.

10

i did yesterday, and it returned a message like it was correct, but today it doesnt work, i hit publish, and then i write # and hit start listening, but nothing happens.

11

Then you have a problem with your broker. Do you see anything in the log file ?

12

What are you running ? Home Assistant (= on HassOs) or Home Assistant Supervised (= on generic linux)

The mosquitto add-on is very picky about its configuration.

13

You have to do it the other way around. First ‘start listening’, then publish.

14

i’ve tried both ways, and nothing happens… it’s just not listening.

15

This is the log… looks ok i think.

I use home assistant installed following this guide:

17

anonymous: true

Try with false

18

it’s already on false.

logins:

  • username: ‘my user’
    password: ‘my password’
    anonymous: false
    customize:
    active: true
    folder: mosquitto
    certfile: fullchain.pem
    keyfile: privkey.pem
    require_certificate: false

Update: i installed mqtt explorer to test mqtt broker, and nothing happened, so i decided to try with other configuration of mqtt add-on, just did a reset of all config, and started add-on with default configuration, now i’ve got all the messages in mqtt explorer, if i turn on/off devices i see it,

Now if i do what you said (developer tools > mqtt > start listening > publish, i see the messages i publish, so i think now the mqtt broker it’s working, still don’t see any device or entity appear on home assistant, but this is a start.

20

After doing a full reset, i still in the same… no entities or devices on home assistant. If i go to developer tools > logs i see this message:

this explains something?
