Thanks, I will try the different suggestions.
My guess is that from within Docker the different containers have a problem to connect to each other by their real ip-adress and port.
I will also change the prefix to zwave.
At the moment I'm focussing on Docker network settings.

So I would check that you have the correct port, name and username for mosquitto in zwavejsUI and that you have made those ports available to both docker containers. I use "host.docker.internal" as the host url in zwavejsUI and the prefix "zwave" (not the discovery topic) so all my devices appear under the subheading "zwave" when I view mosquitto with MQTT Explorer. I don't use any authorisation so I have "auth" turned off. Perhaps you could try running your mosquitto without requiring authentication until you resolve the problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried several and have succeeded .

1) was a change in the domoticz docker-compose.yml for the USB-id (I thought I needed to add a port number by adding -port0 to the USB-id): usb-0658_0200-if00-port0 into usb-0658_0200-if00 (without the -port0)

Code: Select all

services:
  domoticz:
    image: domoticz/domoticz:stable
    container_name: domoticz
    restart: unless-stopped
    # Pass devices to container
    devices:
    #  - "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00:/dev/ttyUSB0"
      - "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00:/dev/ttyUSB0"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "8443:443"
    #  - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/opt/domoticz/userdata
      - ./config/www/templates:/opt/domoticz/www/templates
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
      - LOG_PATH=/opt/domoticz/userdata/domoticz.log
    #  - EXTRA_CMD_ARG= -loglevel normal,status,error,debug -debuglevel normal,hardware,received,webserver,eventsystem,python,thread_id

2) was a change in Z-Wave JS UI MQTT Gateway setting, because I had enabled security by setting allow_anonymous false in the mosquitto.conf.

Code: Select all

per_listener_settings true
listener 1883
persistence true
persistence_location /mosquitto/data/
log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log

## Authentication ##
# By default, Mosquitto >=2.0 allows only authenticated connections. Change to true to enable anonymous connections.
allow_anonymous false
password_file /mosquitto/config/password.txt

I had to enable Auth and fill in Username and Password I used for Mosquitto.
After saving these the devices started filling in Domoticz immediately. Also in MQTT Explorer I now saw the devices.

It was not necessary to use "host.docker.internal". I used the dedicated ip-address with the right ports and that worked fine.

Now onwards to the steps of migrating Domoticz from Synology to Raspberry!

Hello, I seem to have the same issue: due to OpenZwave being deprecated in domoticz, I have been requested to migrate to zwave-js-UI and MQTT.

To that end, I have installed both on my Raspberry Pi3 b+, however NOT using docker-compose because this tutorial https://wiki.domoticz.com/Zwave-JS-UI did not work for me regarding Mosquitto for some reason I still can't figure-out, so I installed mosquitto simply using apt-get install mosquitto (and kept docker for zwave-js-ui).
The mosquitto broker service seems to work (service status showing as "active", MQTT-explorer showing the tree of devices) and so does Zwave JS UI at 192.168.1.xx:8091 (e.g. showing the connectivity of devices with proper names, and all devices are reported as "alive").

In Domoticz, I have installed the "MQTT Auto Discovery Client Gateway with LAN interface" hardware under "setup - H/W". The H/W is "enabled" and if I click "setup" next to this H/W, I see a bunch of nodes (that have no sensible names).

Now, and this is the problem, if I go to the "device" section of domoticz, I can't see any new device that is attached to a Zwave controller. So in effect I can't use the devices...
I spent the entire day trying to figure-out to no avail, however I must confess I'm not used to managing this environment.
I'm not sure if this is a Domoticz issue or a MQTT issue, or more likely just a configuration that I mismanaged while installing those applications and services. Please note that I did enable MQTT gateway in Zwave-js-ui, and I double checked the local host IP address, discovery prefixes, port numbers, etc.

I would be happy to receive some help here. Maybe it's something obvious !
Thanks a lot,
Manu

in MQTT explorer do you see a homeassistant topic with subtopics like sensor, switch, light?
If not you have to enable Homeassistant Autodiscover in Zwave-JS-UI.

But you see devices in the Setup Button of your " MQTT Auto Discovery Client Gateway with LAN interface" you should also see devices related to the " MQTT Auto Discovery Client Gateway with LAN interface" hardware in Domoticz menu Setup-Devices together with all the rest of your devices.
In Domoticz they are now related to MQTT-AD, not to the old zwave controller.
