Zigbee2mqtt won't start without errors

I rebuild a home assistant machine on a proxmox vm. I try to setup zigbee2mqtt and I get each time an error.

if i use zha then everything is working fine and I can connect zigbee devices.
But I can’t setup zigbee2mqtt.
What do I have to do, to setup zigbee2mqtt ?

What dongle are you using ?

sonoff 3.0 usb dongle plus

You did disable ZHA ? Because you can’t use ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT at the same time with the same dongle.

I see that remark on different sites, but I don’t know where to find it, to disable ZHA.

Settings → Devices & Integrations → Zigbee → 3 dots

Sorry, but I don’t have a zigbee integration anymore, I deleted when I had ZHA.

Show your Z2M config. It cannot find your dongle, that’s why it isn’t starting. It’s either in use or configured wrong.

Since ZHA worked, I guess you properly passed-trough the dongle from proxmox to your vm.

Did you try these:

this is my hardware setup.
test

and this is my zigbee2mqtt config:

Seems correct - can you verify that the port is listed as the same in configuration.yaml in the zigbee2mqtt folder?

You have an EZSP dongle, not a ZSTACK one.
add

adapter: ezsp

to the serial

the Plus-V2 is the dongle-E, the Plus without V2 is the dongle-P

Yes, Yes Yes: Thanks to Francisp the adapter: ezep was the solution.
But I never saw that I need the adapter to fill in.

Please mark francisp’s post with the Solution tag because that’s the one that provided the solution to your problem.
