You can connect to any NAS or VM over network, by just making this adjustment to Z2M or to ZHA:

Z2M:

serial:
port: ‘tcp://ip_or_hostname:6638’

Just ordered zigstar lan, looking forward to replacing my conbeeII which is just messing with me.

54

Just one more question right now, where can I find the 3d model to be printed

For connecting Zigbee2MQTT to any remote Zigbee adapter you can also refer to these guides:

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/advanced/remote-adapter/connect_to_a_remote_adapter.html#_1-install-ser2net

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/advanced/remote-adapter/connect_to_a_remote_sonoff_zbbridge.html#connect-to-a-remote-sonoff-zbbridge

ZigStar LAN Gateway will of course also work with the ZHA integration in Home Assistant via socket:

Automatic network discovery in ZHA via mDNS Zeroconf is not yet working with ZigStar LAN Gateway howvever it is being worked on so likely a feature that will be added to firmware and HA in the future.

I am running LAN version over network from my Synology. I have no idea why people would even want to use it via USB…

57

It on GitHub of the project. STL

58

Agreed. It’s working great for me now using LAN with Z2MQTT on Synology NAS with HA and so much better than the Sonoff/Tasmota Zigbee coordinator I was using previously!

Hello today came my long awaited zigstar lan gateway. plugged it in and updated the lan gateway and got everything started. moved over all my lights and sensors. However, I realized that I had not updated my Coordinator. Now the question is if anyone knows how to do it? Do you have to disconnect from the gateway or can you do it with it connected. then the next question is what software should you have in it? will all my lights be gone or do I have to take a backup before and if so where do I do it.

60

I managed with courage and hope to upgrade.
Followed the guide here: Quick Start - ZigStar

61

@Johan71 Sorry for late reply. Wanted to understand what you actually wanted to update?
Zigbee firmware or ESP firmware. But now i see you already updated ESP firmware according to instructions.

62

both actually, but it went well then if I did the right thing I do not know

63

@Johan71 everything fine,for Zigbee firmware use ZigStar Multi Tool,most easy way to update.

64

I have received the last week and I’m pretty happy with it but I have also 1 question.

I’m not sure or I did in the correct way to change the db power. Below you can find a part of lines that is on Z2M addon config, not the GUI web.

frontend:
  port: 8099
experimental:
  transmit_power: 10
availability: false

I have set to 10 because I saw that recommendation.

Yes I used it, do I have to disassemble it or can I update with GW assembled.
Then I saw that you can connect zigstar multi tool via lan instead of usb, can you also program it like that?

66

No need to disassemble ,everything is done over LAN network, using multi tool,you can backup NVRAM,update to new zigbee firmware.

Hi !

Sometimes, the zha-network-card report the Lan GW ZigStar as offline … and it’s not the truth.
Do you have any suggestion to avoid this ?

Thx.

Hi! Any news on a restock for the LAN Gateway? Looking to ship to RO

No any idea about ZHA, I’m using Z2M.
Maybe anybody else have this issue.
Will try to fix this in next firmware release.
