[SOLVED] User problem during zigbee2mqtt installation

bastier · January 1, 2019, 9:58pm

happy new year guys,

i have a problem during the installation of zigbee2mqtt
https://koenkk.github.io/zigbee2mqtt/getting_started/running_zigbee2mqtt.html

First, i installed mosquitto via openhabian-config (v2.4 @ RPi3b) and set a pwd
Then, i installed the MQTT binding via PaperUI. Bining is online and connected to the broker.
Through a standalone client MQTT.fx i also establish a connection to the broker with the given usr and pwd.

… and now i’m stuck.

i set the config file with url:port, user, password

after npm start:

[22:14:25] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ cd /opt/zigbee2mqtt
[22:14:27] openhabian@openHABianPi:/opt/zigbee2mqtt$ npm start

> zigbee2mqtt@1.0.1 start /opt/zigbee2mqtt
> node index.js

he’s complaining about the username? well, i blocked the lines were usr and pwd are set.
now look the following action:

[22:13:28] openhabian@openHABianPi:/opt/zigbee2mqtt$ npm start

> node index.js

he finds that connection, but it seems, that he is not authorized to join. So something is wrong with the user?
I followed the manual step by step.

The only part were i had to write a different code is:

# Clone zigbee2mqtt repository
sudo git clone https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.git /opt/zigbee2mqtt
sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/zigbee2mqtt

From pi:pi i did openhabian:openhabian
Because of the username

You got any ideas?

I think that should be owned by openhab.

openhab:openhabian

bastier · January 1, 2019, 10:15pm

i did

sudo chown -R openhab:openhabian /opt/zigbee2mqtt

and there is the same problem. do i have to reinstall?
what does this command? i really don’t know, because i’m a stone cold beginner.

H102 · January 1, 2019, 10:17pm

I wouldn’t think so.

What is the output of ls -al /opt/zigbee2mqtt?

Use these command to clean the cache and reboot.

sudo systemctl stop openhab2

sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

sudo reboot

Looks like it is complaining about the yaml file format. Probably indentation or spacing issue…

H102 · January 1, 2019, 10:33pm

Overlooked that one, I’ve been on the forum for 8 straight hours. It’s time to log off and have a cold one.

bastier · January 1, 2019, 10:36pm

ohhh i feel so stupid.

i did not change the spacing from the default config file. i thought this layout had to fit.
i took away the spaces from usr and pwd an now it works.

thanks a lot!

Thanks for clicking the post that provided the solution.

I edited the title to start with [Solved] maybe that will help anyone else having a similar issue find a quick solution.
