Zigbee Dongle with Zigbee2MQTT

[Fichte07]

Hi all,

I am trying to integrate an zigbee dongle in my OH3.4 system. I am using a raspberry 4 with openhabian and a Sonoff ZBDongle-E. I don’t want to use the zigbee binding because I also want to integrate non-proprietary devices like Aqara sensors.

So here comes my issue: I have connected the dongle via usb, with „lsusb“ I can see it. When I start my openhabian-config to install zigbee2mqtt I does not show dongle. Googled already a lot, most results talking about home assistant installation and some about /dev/serial/by-id, I only have /dev/serial/by-path

Any of you had same topic or can support on that?
Thx
Fichte

Zigbee2mqtt adapter discovery problem after openhabian update

Hi, I have noticed strange behavior of my smart home. I have been using your work and knowledge of the forum for 3 years and I hope that you will tell me what I could do to restore Z2M to action. My OH 3.4.4 has been working fine with Z2M for a long time on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 2GB RAM (Kernel = Linux 6.1.21-v8+). Two days ago I was tempted to log into openhabian and check for available updates. The system found 3 updates so I made them without blinking an eye and then I did openh…

yes, that’s the same debian bug: The correct links for usb-devices are not created.
We can try the following workaround:
Change “by-id” with “by-path” in the file
/opt/openhabian/functions/nodejs-apps.bash
and try again (around line 296)

Yes, perfect. I have replaced /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-serial.rules, rebooted the system and installed via openhabian-config. The adapter was showing up now and i can now start working on connecting all my zigbee devices.
Thx a lot!
