Installation Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus

[MikeVanD]

after troubles with zwave and rfxcom (viewtopic.php?t=43852), I wanted to start without docker and so I did today.

Domoticz is up and running and rfxcom and zwave are still not functioning, but I'm going to start fresh with them too.

So I was told Zigbee is the way to go and thus I ordered 'Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus' and started the installation (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/instal ... installing)
In 4 hours time, I've not gone past the point that 'pnpm start' gives the error:

Code: Select all

Starting Zigbee2MQTT without watchdog.
Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:8080

I've tried dozens of solutions but none of them work

I'm almost starting to regret zigbee, so can anybody help me to a step-by-step install guide for this dongle in Domoticz?

The advised way is the docker way to prevent these kind of issues...

and I wanted to avoid docker to avoid other problems...

oh well installed ubuntu already again and I'm gonna try docker again

Just set the frontend port of zigbee2mqtt to a different port: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/config ... ntend.html

I wish... I tried that

At this moment I want to set fire to the server and Domoticz and Zigbee

this is the third time I started with a clean server with docker and stubborn me tried it twice before that without docker.
I haven't been this far, but it is only square 1... It is a good thing my neighbours are on holiday.

I've got the broker running (i hope) without errors:

Code: Select all

[+] Running 2/2
 ✔ Container zigbee2mqtt-mqtt-1  Started 0.3s
 ✔ Container zigbee2mqtt         Started 0.2s

When I access the page at http://<ip-address>:8080 there is a time-out

tips anybody?

What a strange remark ... avoid docker to avoid other problems !

First, get mosquitto working (MQTT broker), this can be the most challenging
Test, with MQTT Explorer, if you can connect to the broker without issues

Next, install zigbee2mqtt

Make a folder, like zigbee2mqtt

create a docker-compose.yml file with the contents like below:

services:
zigbee2mqtt:
container_name: zigbee2mqtt
image: koenkk/zigbee2mqtt:latest-dev
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ./data:/app/data
- /run/udev:/run/udev:ro
ports:
# Frontend port
- 8081:8080
networks:
- backend
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
devices:
- /dev/serial/by-id/yyyyyyyyyyy:/dev/ttyACM0
privileged: true

Replace /dev/serial/by-id/yyyyyyyyyyy with the real USB device ID of the zigbee dongle

Test if all is working by issuing:

Code: Select all

docker compose up

If no errors are shown, you should be able to browse to port 8081
