#conbee — Public Fediverse posts

Successfully migrated from a ConBee II to the newer ConBee III USB-stick on our HomeAssistant! I would not have looked forward to manually re-pairing 16 Zigbee devices…
And I’ll only have to open a single ticket on a documentation/UI issue in HA ;-)

Also the OPNSense update went through without a hitch, but that was also my expectation.

Alright! Got everything paired again (at least I think I got everything), and have added a whole bunch more Aqara switches. Already the range on the SLZB is far and above that of the #conbee - I can definitely recommend spending the extra if you're considering one or the other. That, and having this as an ethernet adapter feels like migrating to a new machine/container later on would be far simpler.

Now I just have to get #homeassistant tidied up and #homeassistantvoice configured in a sane manner! So far it's still pretty hit and miss.

#HomeAssistant with #ZHA in #Podman just crashed hard.

The #ConBee 2 stick restarted (probably due to Frigate #FFmpeg #OOMKiller), thus the ttyACM-path changed.
But that didn't exist anymore.
So ZHA stopped running.

Didn't get this to work reliably without --privileged … so HA now runs in a privileged Podman container with passed through /dev.

You can convert a #conbee2 into a #Thread Border Router !!!

Note: the #conbee will lose its #zigbee capability but its nice if you don't use it anymore and want to test #matter

Orrr. Die Osram Lightify Lampen sind entweder mittlerweile kaputt oder müssen regelmäßig vom Strom getrennt werden. Jede noch so billige Zigbeelampe hier ist zuverlässiger als der Krempel von Osram. (Lightify ist eh Geschichte) #homebridge #osram #conbee #phoscon

So, habe nun einen #ConBee II bestellt, dazu #Aqara Temperatursensoren (3 an der Zahl) und hoffe das alles mit meinem #HASS (Home Assistant) verbinden zu können, der auf einer #Synology #DiskStation läuft und mit #DSM 7 aber gar keine #USB Sticks mehr unterstützt (wo es aber Anleitungen gibt, das wieder zum Laufen zu bringen).

Also ein komplettes Setup, was an jeder Stelle manuelle Eingriffe benötigt.

Geil.

@damacus I'm not sure ZigBee supports multiple coordinators in a single network? I've got a single #Zigbee coordinator (#Conbee) relaying using #Zigbee2MQTT for better availability to work around that issue.

@archie2870 ok that's cool to hear. I'm in the middle of setting a bunch of automation at home and I've been doubling down on #zigbee but wifi hadn't crossed my mind. Probably not a great idea with the ISP-provided router that I have compared to having a dedicated #conbee zigbee gateway.

How is the whole setup working for you?
