ZigStar - ZigBee Coordinators and Routers

Hi,
I am using 3 ZigStar Lan Gateways as router to extend my Zigbee NW. Unfortunately, they often lose connection. Power Off and/or just pressing one of the buttons is not helping. Also when refreshed, pairing often takes many trials. Any suggestions on troubleshooting? Is there a possibility to re-pair in the web interface? Thx

Nice, will it support matter etc?
Is it a big step up from the zigstar GW

Still working on firmware, but require a new chip to make this happen.

Lady’s and gentlemen’s ,
check out new addon for HA:
ZigStar TI CC2652 FW Flasher
Now you can flash your ZigStar USB/LAN dongle directly from Home Assistant, also I didn’t forget about people using another dongles like Sonoff ZBdongle-P, TubesZB or any other dongle with BSL button.

Auto-BSL:

  • ZigStar Ethernet Devices: UZG-01,LAN GW, LilyZig, Olizig
  • Sonoff ZBdongle-P
  • TubesZB

Flash your dongle without hassle.

Hello,

I purchased 2 x UZG-01 Universal Zigbee Gateways and I am having problems to connect from Home-Assistant managed + zigbee2mqtt (Home assistant managed means no access to shell, Docker is managed automatically).

When connecting with USB it works and could migrate my zigbee2mqtt network to UZG-01. At least I am quite happy because I could migrate my sonoff key to UZG-01 which is the future IMHO.

But still, I cannot use a suitable solution to connect over the network using zigbee2mqtt.

If I change port to tcp://device_ip::6638 the docker image is unable to connect.

The log file is:

I also tried to set socat to true without success.

I am not blocked since I am using USB … but still I am waiting for network usage.

I checked Zigbee2MQTT fails to start | Zigbee2MQTT and nothing applies. I have access to the web interface of the UZG-01 and it is configured with “LAN mode” …

I feel that there should be a dedicated documentation for Home assistant managed mode when zigbee2mqtt is running in docker.

Please advice.

My setup for zigstargw gw is like picture but i dont have docker thou

Got it, many thanks!
I read your configuration and noticed that I had twice “serial”,
so I switched to yalm and corrected.

Now it works

Are there any risks in doing this? I’m mostly thinking that if you lose all devices, etc.?
Can/should I take a backup before?

A risk that something can go wrong it’s possible ,but chance to happen is very low, if you follow instructions, i will come with a video, detailed video.
Currently u can check: https://youtu.be/DxFUbIeYUgU
have English subtitles

Paired devices is not possible to loose,most important to close all connection to your stick/lan coordinator. Z2M stop,ZHA stop or whatever software you use to communicate with coordinator.
Then you can flash/update your coordinator,be very carefull on what firmware is required for your device.

Just a quick note that I moved Home-Assistant (running on a small PC Engines APU2) to my home and it is now connected 120km away to my summer house with UZG-01 running on PoE. Both sites are running fiber with a wireguard VPN. I have 100Mb/s up and down with nearly no interruption.

And it works like a charm.

Now with UZG-01 your home-assistant platform can we anywhere: in the cloud, home, etc …
I see no difference with a local installation.

It rocks!!!

The UZG-01 is clearly the best coordinator I have ever used and it suits 100% my needs.

How is it possible to set the channel in the adapter?

I have a Zigbee2Mqtt integration in Home Assistant. As I set the channel from the default 11 to 15, it does not starts. The configuration is mismatching in the HASS Z2M and the adapter

This is related to Z2M not to hardware and according to Z2M,you need to set the channel, save settings, stop z2m,delete backup file from Z2M folder and run again Z2M.

You have a clear message in the log what should be done:
If you wish to re-commission your network, please remove coordinator backup at /config/zigbee2mqtt/coordinator_backup.json.
Re-commissioning your network will require re-pairing of all devices!

I’m getting a bit confused by all the firmwares? Today I have a Coordinator type zStack3x0
Coordinator revision 20211207.
Do I have to point to any firmware or can I let the program pick the latest one?

Addon is universal for all zigbee coordinator based on TI CC2652P, but firmware can be different based on your hardware. So what hardware you have?

Zigstar lan GW

then use next settings:

success, it works perfectly

Works excellent with the Sonoff ZBdongle-P :+1:t3:

Thank you for this useful tool :hugs:
