I am running OpenHAB on a Raspberry Pi. My current contact sensors use zigbee and use an USB drive I have to talk to openhab. I bought a new sensor that uses Zigbee2Mqtt from Aqara, I’ve successfully added it as a new zigbee thing but I can’t figure out the mqtt part. The contact switch only shows …

From your configuration.yaml file, which you say is empty. You’ll have to find out why that’s empty first. Permissions issue? Are you sure zigbee2mqtt is properly installed and running? Once you have access, you need to add a friendly_name parameter for your device.

I installed both the binding and the one in the misc tab. What can I do to figure out the issue from here?

Wait a minute: from where? zigbee2mqtt is a 3rd party program: nothing to do with openHAB…

The Mqtt binding and the MQTT Broker Moquette. I also need to install Mqtt on the pi itself?

I think you’re getting confused. Do you want to use the native openHAB Zigbee binding, or do you want to use the 3rd party zigbee2mqtt, and then the native openHAB MQTT binding? Do you have zigbee2mqtt installed? You need to have zigbee2mqtt installed if you want to use zigbee2mqtt… Also, remove …

[image] MQTT Arrives in the Modern openHAB 2.x Architecture The new MQTT bindings allow an easy point and click configuration to include your MQTT capable device into openHAB. If your device follows any supported MQTT convention, it got even simpler with full auto-discovery of all device…

I am attempting to start zigbee2mqtt, but I keep getting the following error: pi@raspberrypi:/opt/zigbee2mqtt $ npm start > zigbee2mqtt@1.16.1 start /opt/zigbee2mqtt > node index.js Zigbee2MQTT:info 2020-11-23 17:19:39: Logging to console and directory: '/opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/log/2020-11-23.17-1…

I’ve been doing research and I think my USB Stick isn’t compatible with Zigbee2Mqtt. I have a Nortek USB Stick.

Correct. Supported Adapters | Zigbee2MQTT Zigbee to MQTT bridge, get rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges

If I buy a supported USB Stick how hard is it to transfer the ones on the old one to a new one?

No you have a Nortek USB stick - Hardware
Use the openHAB Zigbee Binding
