I have been trying to get openhabian to work for three days now.
Openhabian3 works, the UI works etc. No problems there.
Mqtt broker is installed on oh3 and broker/hostname is localhost
I have installed zigbee2mqtt.service and its running and found a smart plug.
I have installed mosquitto.service and its also running.
And now the problem. Zigbee usb stick detects new devices but they wont show up in the
OH3 inbox.
Also, i noticed that if i restart “mosquitto.service” in terminal, OH3 log shows that MQTT Broker goes Online → Offline → Online
What to do? Im almost at the point that i will stop trying and cry myself to sleep.
Please, help me.
I’m very new to linux/rasp, but im good at reading instructions. Did everything like the instructions says.
I would like this to work automatically. But like i said, im very new to this. And linux.
Im starting to think that my zigbee stick has wrong firmware or something.
The other option (not necessarily better - that’s down to personal circumstances) is using the native ZigBee binding for openHAB. But you must read the documentation carefully, and take note of the setup instructions for your specific controller. The binding follows a strict implementation of the ZigBee protocol, and is heavily tested on Ember chipset controllers, which your CC2531 does not use. However, read the documentation and decide for yourself - there’s a section on the CC2531, and I’m certain others are using it with that controller.
I use a CC2531 and zigbee2mqtt, which for me gives me ultimate flexibility by ensuring that I’m not tied to openHAB for controlling my ZigBee devices.
Ok thank you. More questions. I cant link anything in openhab because i dont have profiles for things.
Been investigating this for a while now and i just cant figure it out.
