Re: Best Zigbee USB ?
Use an usb stick that works with zigbee2mqtt or Zigbee4Domoticz

Re: Best Zigbee USB ?
Got a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus, and I can't get to work, that's why I want to get a USB that's ready to use, so I am 100% shure it's working.
No flashing, no update,ready to use.
I got all kind of errors, but it seams most of them can be traced back to the stick..
like this one
This is the Zigbee2MQTT pluggin..
The Zigbee2MQTT standalone is even worse, but from what I understand is USB related..
So is there anywhere I can purcase a USB stick thats work right out uf the box?
The MQTT part is working just fine with Z-wave and a Han port reader (Amsreader.no) /Pow-U and some ESP3266 projekt..
As for the USB, it can be seen at /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_20220810163949-if00
Just want start with something I know is 100%..

Re: Best Zigbee USB ?
Dont use the plugin but use the mqtt ad hardware gateway.
Also the errors are not related to the usb stick but to mqtt. Check the log of zigbee2mqtt if it connects correctly
See also the wiki for instructions https://wiki.domoticz.com/Zigbee2MQTT

Re: Best Zigbee USB ?
Half of the log is me turning off/on the plugin, just to trigger some sort of responce...
Have tried several ways to intall Sigbee, this was the best responce.
For the USB device, I do suspect it's not 100%, thats why I want a new one, preferible ready to use right out of the box.
No flashing, just "plug and pray.." if possible ?
As for the wiki, I need something that's straigt forward, not if, what, can do...
This Domoticz wiki is not the best.....

Re: Best Zigbee USB ?
First make sure you get Zigbee2MQTT and Mosquitto running.
Then you can go on with making the interface with Domoticz.
The wiki is straight forward, you only have to make a choise to use the Python plugin or the MQTT AD Hardware gateway (build in).
I just copied the Docker and MQTT Mosquitto install part from the Zwave-JS-UI wiki...

First
https://www.yamllint.com/ software
online //darkxst.github.io/silabs-firmware-builder/
I do have a new stick on the way to me in the mail...
From there it was some life...
Verified all the versions of supporting software, again...
Searched online for some clues further, like https://www.yamllint.com/ it told me if the .YAML file was valid, had the right format, I knew nothing about formatting and option in that type of files.
Find the stick, /dev/serial/by-id
Then checking the rights.. test -w /* && echo success || echo failure, of coarse a couple of changes..
And input and check the .YAML file again
Then finaly some life, hope it will stay like that for some time...

I really wish it was a more clear straight forward user guide, and not filled with options.
It works for those who know this, and work with this every day, as for me, I use Microsoft at work...
And secondly, this is on me...I have been out of sociality for some time....from 2022 2 mounts in hospital, then sick leave for over a year, and the gradually back to life/work..
Installed Domoticz on a Linux server back in 2018 ?, it has been working fine unntil the HD died... new install now..24.04 noble
