Zigbee2MQTT won't start, and there are no errors

testuser · January 14, 2024, 12:25am

I have MQTT installed and functioning, Sonoff adapter plugged in, set the serial field in the configuration for Zigbee2MQTT to port: /dev/ttyUSB0 per the output of the Hardware section of HA, and the logs look great with zero errors. It shows activity for MQTT publishing things and that Zigbee2MQTT started. However, on the add-on page, it has a red circle on the upper-right corner and it still says “Start” on the bottom left, and the front end does not load. However, all of that is to the contrary with the logs. I have since restarted HA with no luck.

Thoughts?

I have noticed that sometimes the AddOn webpage with the red/green dot does not always update on the fly and a simple page refresh usually works. If that doesn’t work, I have no idea as everything else looks good.

The allegedly working frontend never loaded for me, even when navigating directly to the host on port 8099. Either way, it really wasn’t worth the struggle, and I never realized how easy it was to setup ZHA. With my new Sonoff adapter in hand, I kicked Deconz/Phoscon to the side and things are working so much better.
