Sorry been a bit busy today fitting a new loft hatch / ladder, I’m not sure why you don’t get any devices using the Auto option, are you seeing everything you have added when you use the plugin ?


Yes, thanks, I now have all (two, so far) Zigbee devices working within Domoticz, and also the z2m ...

No MQTT Auto Disc instances are enabled for zigbee2mqtt.


I may have been wrong about that part, i.e. that devices are enumerated without this. The Custom/Zigbee2MQTT page appears to have a tendency to 'go away' and/or need refreshing, to show devices. Setting MQTT Auto Disc.. enabled again ...

This is odd.

I installed Zigbee2MQTT Python plugin.
Now I can find Zigbee devices in Domoticz, in the Custom/Zigbee2MQTT page.
BUT only if zigbee2mqtt service (installed above) is *also* running.
No MQTT Auto Disc instances are enabled for zigbee2mqtt.
I can also use the devices from the ...

This is my configuration.yaml :

BTW, I don't know what the difference between ...

If you have left the rest of the zigbe2mqtt values as default in the z2m front end settings then I believe this should be fine, have you tried a reboot of the pi completely ?


Yes, I've even shutdown and restarted, and I'm now running z2m as a service.

For zwavejsmqtt I have:

'zigbee2mqtt'

Use the "MQTT Auto Discovery Client Gateway with LAN interface" and make sure you have the IP set for the machine where your MQTT server is (probably the same one as the rest I know) and the port is set correctly, after this if you don't see anything highlight the MQTT Auto option and click the ...

I have finally got this working. Just as I was beginning to think I might need to (re-)flash the Dongle..

Turns out there was a conflict with the RFXtrx433e on ttyUSB0. I didn't see anything in dmesg or ls-l ... to indicate this, but then I noticed that the Domoticz log was saying that it was on ...

Well without this bit
frontend:
port: 8099
host: 192.168.*.*

where the host has to be your IP you will not get the z2m front end anyway


Yes, I did try putting that in, but still couldn't get the front end from a browser on 192.168.*.* I'll try it again, though.

Should Zigbee2MQTT actually be ...

from the cmd line on the pi type dmesg, you'l probably have to search a bit in the list you'll get but check to make sure the dongle is using USB0, mine shows like this

usb 1-1.3.1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0

start of your yaml should look some thing like this

Further to above: I have checked the Dongle, and I do have:
Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus / Model ZB dongle-P, with TI C2652P+CP2102N, and Coordinator firmware.

Thanks but, unfortunately, my installation/configuration does not resemble that described in the link, e.g. I do not have a configuration.yaml.

Any idea what? Could there be some more configuration to do, that I haven't done?
Or something more I should do to configure the dongle?
