[SOLVED] How to get ConBee2 running?

Hardware DIY
1

Hi guys,

I ordered a conbee2 USB dongle recently and tried to install it by following the installation guide on the website http://phoscon.de/en/conbee2/install#raspbian via SSH. After that I installed deCONZ in Paper UI and than run into issues. I have no idea what is the next steps :frowning:

"After the installation deCONZ can be started via the application menu.

Menu > Programming > deCONZ"

If I boot my Pi and plug a screen into HDMI, there is no user interface, just the common SSH surface. So I cannot follow the next steps as described on the website. I googled different installation guidings for the conbee2 but I am totaly confused now.

So I tried:

  1. Installation Guide from http://phoscon.de/en/conbee2/install#raspbian
    Tried to find the device by following the link http://dresden-elektronik.de/pwa/login.html but nothing found.
    Do I need an additional gateway?

  2. I tried to install the Binding Dresden Elektronik Deconz and tried to localize any device. Nothing found
    Tried to find the device by following the link http://dresden-elektronik.de/pwa/login.html but nothing found.

  3. Found an installation guide http://coldcorner.de/2018/04/02/deconz-hue-bridge-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-emulieren/
    Tried to find the device by following the link http://dresden-elektronik.de/pwa/login.html but nothing found.

Can anybody help me please?

BR, Patrick

OK, I got it running. Easy task: You need to add the port :80 behind your IP and than it is running. I wounder that nobody had the answer :slight_smile:

http://localhost:80/pwa/login.html

Nice catch!
I run mine on a non standard port 8090, so I have always included that.

Have you checked out the deconz binding that uses Websocket for real-time sensor events?
I discovered it only this weekend. :slight_smile:

No, I haven’t check it yet. What is the benefit? Any link you want to share?

Thanks for the link. I tried this already :wink:

Then you already have the best solution for your sensors.
Du you also use the HUE binding for getting the statuses of the lights?
groups/ commands has to be sent through the http binding though.

Actually I try to get a Xiaomi Aqara LED to run but seems it is not supported yet. I started to google but did not find a solution or hint.

Perhaps, but if you see it in pwa you should be good to go. If not, ask about it here.

It is not officially supported yet but with a little bit of patience I got it running. Now I need to find out how to read out LEDs’ token.

Im looking at buying the usb stick and using the binding - can I ask - you do need to install the companion app on your openhab server?
