Required Component

  • Zigbee USB Adapter (In this case, we are using Sonoff CC2652P USB Dongle )
  • ( For more infomation about SONOFF ZigBee 3.0 )
  • image

Step 0 : Install Z-Stack firmware for using Zigbee Dongle with Zigbee2MQTT

  • Install package cc2538-bsl via these command

    • $ sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools
    • $ sudo pip3 install pyserial intelhex python-magic
    • git clone https://github.com/JelmerT/cc2538-bsl

  • Connect the Zigbee USB to Virtual Machine or Hardware.

  • Check port of connected device, using this command

    • $ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id

  • looking for this kind of text format to determine your connected USB port, For Example : ../../ttyUSB0

  • Run the command for start up the port for Zigbee USB sudo python3 ./cc2538-bsl/cc2538-bsl.py --bootloader-sonoff-usb

  • Install Zigbee Coordinator

    • Download .zip file from Z - Stack Firmware Github. In this case is CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20220219.zip
    • The run these command on the downloaded file directory
      • $ unzip CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20220219.zip
      • $ sudo python3 ./cc2538-bsl/cc2538-bsl.py --bootloader-sonoff-usb \ -e -w -v ./CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20220219.hex

Step 1

  • Install Nodejs
    • $ sudo apt install -y curl
    • $ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
    • $ sudo apt install -y nodejs
    • Checking Version of nodejs and nmp
      • $ node -v
      • $ npm -v
  • Get Zigbee2MQTT Source code from Github and install package.
    • $ git clone https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.git
    • $ sudo mv zigbee2mqtt /opt
    • $ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/zigbee2mqtt
    • $ cd /opt/zigbee2mqtt
    • $ npm ci
  • Create and Edit a Configuration file.
    • nano /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/configuration.yml
    • Edit COM port to match with yours
homeassistant: false
permit_join: true
mqtt:
  base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
  ## specify the IP address or hostname of your MQTT broker
  server: 'mqtt://localhost:1883'
  #user: xxxx
  #password: xxxx
serial:
  ## specify the serial COM port (e.g. /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ttyUSB0)
  port: /dev/ttyUSB0
advanced:
  ## specify the ZigBee channel number
  channel: 15
frontend:
  ## enable Web front-end for Zigbee2MQTT on port 8080
  port: 8080
  • Add current user to Dialout group to grant access to port
    • $ sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
  • START! Zigbee2MQTT
    • npm start

OH NO! AN ERROR!!!!

image

  • As you can see, the program state that cannot open the specified port
  • image
  • Its actually caused from the program read the wrong configuration file or You edit the wrong configuration file
  • TO FIX : edit COM port in nano /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/configuration.yaml file ** .yaml NOT .yml **
  • From my hypothesis, the program choose to read .yaml first if both file was exist in the same directory
  • Then I choose to remove ( delete ) the .yml file before retry starting Zigbee2MQTT

GOOD TO GO NOW!

Nice! Its seems like the Zigbee2MQTT is up and running!
