Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant

[@joel3694]

Love your videos, Joyce! Concise with a sprinkle of detailed explanation!!! Looking forward to more videos on HA :)

Well, that looked pretty easy. But I just spent at least 8 hours installing zigbee2mqtt and trying to make it work, without success, so there are definitely some complicated issues that can arise. My setup was even close to yours, running on a Raspberry Pi 4 and using an SLZB-06 zigbee coordinator on ethernet. I finally gave up and switched to using the ZHA integration, and got it running in about 5 minutes.

Great overview with clear communication! Keep it up!

You made this look so easy, you say this method is for any zigbee coordinator. Well, I have been trying for over a week now with a Home Assistant with a running mosquitto broker that runs a few tasmota switches ok, trying to get the Sonoff zigbee bridge flashed with tasmota that runs perfectly in node-red with my, so far, few zigbee devices, to get it to work as you show here with HA zigbee2mqtt, and it's a total nightmare, so for any other newbie's tuning in, this 4 min video could be stretched out some if perhaps if you are not using this exact coordinator. So any tips would welcome, but I won't hold my breath, this venture into HA is an obfuscated cryptic adventure. Thks for the vid, I guess thiswill work some, but for anyone else in the circles I have been around in for the past week, you are not alone.

Looks like the Sonoff Zigbee bridge is not currently supported by Zigbee2Mqtt. Maybe try Zigbee2Tasmota?

[@DavidBolarin]

Good tutorial, very clearly explained.👍

Installed my smlight slzb-06 a few days ago but my Home Assistant is running as a VM on my Unraid server. I'm also using Zigbee2MQTT.

Hi Joyce, thank you this seems like a very easy way to install Z2MQTT are there any down sides of not setting up a mosquitto broker password

[@simonsayshomeassistant]

Great work Joyce

[@bangity]

Thank you. Do I need a coordinator per one group of devices or one coordinate is adequate for one floor?

[@joycejetson]

One zigbee coordinator for all the zigbee devices in your local area network (like your house)

I figured i would post to this vid since it is newer on the zigbee2mqtt plus i am using a smlight also.... So i followed your other video of getting things setup to add in mqtt and zigbee2mtt, i have zha setup with a smlight-slzb-06 and wanted to put in the smlight-slzb-06p7 as a zigbee2mqtt i have lots of devices.... :-) everything looks correct, except when i pair a device ie. an agara button and tried a third reality button both are supported and i have seen others add them in no problem, but mine are coming in with no actions, i looked in the log and it is seeing the clicks, just don't understand why then are not coming in knowing about the actions. i tried all the standard things, removing, updating, and even removing mqtt and zigbee2mqtt. no luck.. Any thoughts? thanks in advance. And thanks for the great vids, i ordered the parts you suggested and left you a comment on the mmwave vid you did.

[@joycejetson]

Are you using a community blueprint? I see this one for an Aqara button: community.home-assistant.io/t/aqara-mini-switch-zigbee-setup/532766/5?u=loopdelicious

[@Annika-s2d]

First - I love your videos, looking forward for more to come! Question: Do you have any tips how I can find my zigbee-coordinators IP? I have been searching in my router but can't find it. My setup is: HS on a NUC in a VM on Proxmox, Unifi USG router. A lot of thanks in advance!

[@joycejetson]

Looks like you might be able to go to `slzb-06.local/` or `slzb-06m.local/` in your browser to see the IP.

[@joejoe6949]

Can I run both at the same time ? Zha and zigbee to mqtt

[@joycejetson]

Only one can connect to a zigbee coordinator

[@zhaoqiningx]

simple and clear!

[@cyrilgarcia2485]

anyone having issues where your entire raspberry pi keeps crashing?
