Domoticz update and z2m auto discovery.

[Phil C]

Hi guys, I have an RPi 3b+ With rfxcom, tado & a cc2351. Which I’ve had working for sometime with no issues using the plugin.
With the arrival of domoticz 2022, I thought it would be a great time to start afresh with a new sd card, put the latest rpi download on it, added domoticz, made sure the rfx and tado worked ok.
Added mosquitto, zigbee2mqtt changed the configuration.yaml so that homeassistant: true, setup MQTT in settings with “localhost” etc as per documentation.

None of my Aqara stuff is picked up, I’ve tried resetting my pir’s etc, I’ve allowed new hardware for 5 minutes in domoticz, nothing is picked up by MQTT, all my Lightwaverf/tado is fine.

So frustrating, spent a lot of time on it today, so any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thank you
Phil

Check with mqtt explorer if you see messages from Zigbee2MQTT broadcasted

All my Aqara stuff is working, albeit with issues probably due to non-compliance. I have 3 wired H1 EU routing switches, 2 wireless H1 remote switches and 3 MiJia door/window contacts. The wireless H1 remote switches only show "off" status's for some reason.

Overall very happy with MQTT AD.

Which version of mosquito are you using, if its version 2 did you add the extra two lines of code in the config file - see here.

scroll down till you get to this bit.
Warning: from Mosquitto v2.0.x you need extra configuration, else no connection is made with Domoticz see also viewtopic.php?f=28&t=35706

To see your installed version:

mosquitto -h | grep version

To fix this edit the /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf file and add:

listener 1883

allow_anonymous true

Must admit, those two lines don’t ring a bell, I’ll swap my SD card over n check it out, thank you.

Is it working now ? If not, could you use MQTT Explorer, go to your MQTT broker, check the Auto discovery topic, find your device, and post here the JSON payload of the config topic
