      I ordered one through your link and received it a week ago. However, I had several issues when trying to run it in parallel (at the same time on the same HA) with Deconz and the Conbee 2 stick. I was thinking I could move devices/entities while Conbee 2 was active. I was wrong. It caused some conflicts that I never identified. I think it was more about Zigbee than it was about the sticks. But it's just a gut feeling right now. I was able to update my firmware on the E-stick using Linux, minicom, and Xmodem.

      @@SmartHomeJunkie Unfortunately. Z2M is a mess for me. I had 12 devices on ZHA with Conbee2. I dropped all the devices. Removed the stick. and installed Z2M. I have Aqara and IKEA devices. The bulk of my IKEA switches are showing as unsupported by Z2M, interrogation is failing, and left useless. I moved my HA PI into a room where I could lay every device next to it. The E-stick is on a usb extension wire. So there is no radio interference. Super big mistake for me. I was hoping to get the firmware upgrade features too.

    Your video really helped me in setting up my dongle with Zigbee2MQTT. I didn't realize I had the -E version and when I tried using other videos, I couldn't get the Zigbee2MQTT to run, even trying firmware updates. At some point I realized my dongle was different and discovered it to be the -E version. Then I found this video. The point that especially made this work is @4:58 when the "adapter: ezsp" is added to the serial field. Once this was done it loaded and worked!
    Thank you so much for the walkthrough and calling out this specific version of the dongle in the title. I also changed the Address of the mosquitto-core to the numerical IP address (I have a pretty complex VM/Synology server with Vlans)

    So it seems basically there is no difference between the "old" Sonoff stick and the current one concerning installation and usage.
    Gues, IF there are any performance / reliability issues so far with the new Stick, this will be a simple firmware business.
    As I wanted to be one the "safe road" I've ordered the old Sonoff stick to use it with Z2M.
    Everything works blasting fast and stable. But I have to mention that I run everything on a Lenovo NUC i5 with Proxmox as my Host.
    HA as Docker Container inside a LXC Container. MQTT & Zigbee2MQTT also on seperate LXC Proxmox Containers.
    I don't regret that step. Before I was using HAOS in a VM. The difference of speed and "snappines" is definitely noticeable.

    the message below was in fact a mishap.
    I installed everithing a while a go and it worked good.
    But recently Zigbee2mqtt wont start anymore. I looked onthe net and I seemes that other people have also some problems after som recent updates (i am on 1.32.1-1 now. Did You hear anything, and If so is there a solution ??
    "The add-on seems to not be ready, it might still be starting. Do you want to try again?"
    I get this message when I try to start manualy.

    Super Super vid up to 4:15, but I am trying to use the Tasmota WiFi zigbee bridge and this does not seem to auto detect. I am wanting to use the WiFi bridge as the PC running HA does not have easy access and so the usb bridge would be rather buried and 'out range'. Do you have any tutorial on this ( i thought very popular coordinator ) bridge. I can find nothing more that the info you give here but your style of instruction is so much clearer. At least I got the HA zigbee2mqtt add-on installed which I failed with other vids, but not able to configure it. Thks for you time.

    Interesting video again and pleased a significant increase in patreons - you certainly deserve it for the content you provide. Can I ask - what was the reason for the change from ZHA to Zigbee MQQT did you have issues? I see the there is a big difference in signal strength 5db to 20 db -has it made any difference and finally was there anything that did not pair and have you had any dropouts.

    • @SmartHomeJunkie
      @SmartHomeJunkie  2 роки тому +1

      I did not move from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT, but I have tested ZHA and found some devices that did not work well for me in ZHA, while they do work well in Zigbee2MQTT.
      This Dongle-E is still experimental and I do have some strange behavior now and then with my automations, but I expect it has something to do with retained messages from MQTT using my Conbee 2 stick. So I am still investigating this. In my experience, migrating to a new stick or system takes about two weeks before everything works perfect again. There's a lot to check.

  • @andreassetterlind

    Another best practice tip is to buy and use a powered USB 2.0 hub if you are using a computer with only USB 3.x ports, then connect the USB extension cable to the USB 2.0 hub instead of directly to the computer. The reason for this is that USB 3.x ports and cables cause a lot of interferance to 2.4GHz radio devices.

    • @SmartHomeJunkie
      @SmartHomeJunkie  2 роки тому

      Thx. I use the HA Blue that only has USB-3 ports. For me, it works fine with only an extension cable. But, I know this is recommended on the Z2M site when you have issues.

    I had issues starting the Zigbee2MQTT, and eventually got it to work. Two points to note:
    1) The username is likely case sensitive, Initially I had mixed case, and switched to lower case.
    2) More importantly, I initially had special caracters in the password, and the password was 50 chars long. Only when I significantly shortened the password and removed all special chars did the service start. I did not test to pinpoint the password length threshold.

    • @ThisIsAitch

    Just FYI, if you use a passphrase for the mqtt-user, you will need to re-add it in the settings section inside Zigbee2MQTT as for some reason it does not like "-" when putting it in the configuration part of the add-on. Now it works really well. Now I want to swap out all of my wifi devices for zigbee.

By contrast, you had me up and running in 10 minutes - thank you!

Then I migrated to Zigbee2MQTT and i'm completely happy with all offered features. Is there a way to find out which Zigbee network key is being used?
