netpleb | so basically you're saying there is some magic that I need to add to the zigbee2mqtt.settings = ... which should do the trick. And once mosquitto sees it, then HA will be able to see it too. | 20:05:31 |
netpleb | * so basically you're saying there is some magic that I need to add to the zigbee2mqtt.settings = ... which should do the trick. And once mosquitto sees it, then HA will be able to see it too? | 20:05:36 |
CRTified | to both, yes 🙂 | 20:06:51 |
CRTified | relevant part from the settings attrset in my config:
mqtt = {
server = "mqtt://127.0.0.1:1883";
user = "zigbee";
password =
"!${config.sops.secrets."zigbee2mqtt.yaml".path} mqtt_pass";
};
| 20:07:46 |
CRTified | relevant documentation from z2m: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/mqtt.html#server-connection | 20:08:10 |
netpleb | ok, and then from the HA side it does not even need to know or care that these devices are "zigbee" right? it just thinks these are devices that magically are in the mqtt stream (sorry, I am new to home automation in general as well as home-assistant) | 20:09:07 |
CRTified | correct. That happens via auto discovery which you enable with services.zigbee2mqtt.settings.homeassistant = true; , and for HA it's transparently "some device" | 20:09:47 |
hexa | an MQTT device 😄 | 20:10:23 |
CRTified | In a similar vain, you can also use e.g. esphome.io via MQTT instead of the native API, which behaves the same from the perspective of HA | 20:10:49 |
CRTified | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network an MQTT device 😄 true, HA will list them as device within the MQTT Integration | 20:11:16 |
CRTified | In reply to @crtified:crtified.me In a similar vain, you can also use e.g. esphome.io via MQTT instead of the native API, which behaves the same from the perspective of HA But for this example, HA won't "know" the difference between a device integrated via wifi on MQTT or via zigbee and z2m to MQTT | 20:11:54 |
netpleb | In reply to @crtified:crtified.me But for this example, HA won't "know" the difference between a device integrated via wifi on MQTT or via zigbee and z2m to MQTT ok, so when I go into HA right now and look at the MQTT integration it tells me that there is "localhost" with 1 device. When I click on that 1 device it tells me Bridge by Zigbee2MQTT Firmware: 1.41.0 Hardware: zStack3x0 20210708 | 20:17:45 |
netpleb | so I think I'm basically done, right? now I just need to add some zigbee sensors and hopefully it will work | 20:18:13 |
CRTified | Yeah | 20:18:18 |
CRTified | That looks promising | 20:18:20 |
CRTified | That what you're seeing is essentially a device that represents the state of the controller, i.e. zigbee2mqtt | 20:18:44 |

alex-nt | Oh, this is exactly what I was looking for (to be ran on a RPI5 + SkyConnect). Is there any repo with the last version? Were you able to use it in HA? | 19:20:39 |
