Installation Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus

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...

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?
