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. Thank you for your video, but it has been really an awful experiment for me. 😀
@@traxeonic3600 That's too bad to hear. I've got my whole house paired with it. There is an issue with Ikea tradfri remotes, but I'm not sure if it's Dongle E that's. There are github issues for those reviews reported that they don't work anymore after the latest update of Z2M.
@@SmartHomeJunkie I switched out the Dongle E with the Conbee 2, set the device in z2m and serial: >- adapter: deconz and it all is instantly working. Looks like it's the "experimental" nature of the "E" that's getting me.
I was stressed by failures from other RUclipsrs when I saw this video. And everything works like a charm ! Many many thanks pal for your excellent work!!! The real pain for me was the wrong section ( many people says to leave it empty) of the mosquito configuration.
I followed your instructions but could not figure out why Zigbee2MQTT would immediately stop working after starting. But when I watched the complete video, I realized I had already set up ZHA integration with my Sonoff Dongle E. After removing ZHA integration, Zigbee2MQTT started working perfectly. Thanks a bunch!
@@kobedde @SmartHomeJunkie: Many thanks for your amazing video. I am starting my journey with HA. I was wondering if you could please share the steps or process to "How to disable ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation)?"
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)
you made my day: after connecting the dongle out of the box I got communication errors. Checking documentation and following the troubleshooting guide there was no reason find for that. Finally the small code snippet "adapter: ezsp" in configuration file made it work. I found nothing like that in my sources... Second brilliant hint was getting close to the dongle for pairing. That made the difference in operation. Thank you for solving all my problems in one brilliant video!
Your explanations are clear. I really appreciated the pedagogy with which you indicated beforehand what you were going to do before going into the explanations. Complicated things then become simple and transparent. In your description, there is the link of the blog of your video which resumes in structured text the operating mode that you follow. Very very useful! Personally, I watched the video several times by reducing the speed and activating the subtitles in my language. You have helped me a lot. Big thanks !
Thanks for the tip to REFRESH THE BROWSER after adding Zigbee2Mqtt from the Repository! I wasted 30 minutes trying to figure that out. Another great video. Thanks.
Hi Just switched over to this new stick from the Deconz. It was actually quite easy. This is how it is done: - put new (coordinator) stick in (Dongle-E) - remove "old" stick / coordinator (Deconz)
Ook hier in het verleden stabiliteit problemen met de Conbee2. Vorig jaar ben ik overgestapt op de de Sonoff ZB dongle en daarna nooit geen problemen meer gehad. In combinatie met de Moes ZB radiator actuator heb je meer instellingen en mogelijkheden. Dank voor je goede uitleg in je tutorials!!!
Been watching YT videos all day and reading forums ALL DAY trying to figure out why my dongle wouldn't...but not one other 'expert' bothered to tell me that I needed to add that extra code for the E Dongle. You solved my problem with one video and I really appreciate it!
After trying to figure out how to do this for many days, your video helped me start it up perfectly! Thank you very much brother!!! That's why I always like all your videos and am subscribed :).
You are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND. Been searching from multiple forum and discussion group none of them got the solution from this, spent extra for an extension cable but no luck. THIS VIDEO IS GOLD
That is brilliant, thank you very much indeed. Those details you provided for configuring Mosquitto and z2mqtt saved me a lot of time and no doubt frustration! I currently have a very small network, as these are my first steps into zigbee for HA, but that will change over time.
Hey, bedankt voor je video's, ben een beginner in home assistant en heb al heel veel hulp gehad aan je video's en veel bijgeleerd. stap voor stap gevolgd wat je in deze video toont en werkt perfect!
Brilliant tutorial. I followed your steps (almost) exactly and it failed! But then I found I'd missed 2 spaces before the port value. Proper indentation is critical I'm discovering with HA. I corrected that and it worked!
Thank you for this video, finally got it to make it work, I had the sonoff stick lying around for months and tried a few times to install Zigbee2Mqtt without success. Following your video finally I got it working!
hello, I wanted to thank you very sincerely because out of 5 installation videos that I tried, you are the only one with whom it worked, again a big thank you
Best Video ever! After desperately trying for multiple times with your help it worked the first try! Subscribed immediately! Thank you again for your great explanation!
I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you and that you were able to achieve success on your first try! Thank you for your support and subscribing to the channel!
Thanks for this easy tutorial. One problem which drove me crazy: If you use a SSD for the RP4 as boot + the Sonoff Stick, it is recognized but devices will not pair/ be discovered. This was due to the 3A limit of the power supply!! Active USB Hub and now everything works fine
Thank you both, for the video tutorial and also for the comments as I am also equipped with RP4 + SSD + the Sonoff Stick and it was not working until I added an Active USB Hub 🙂
I've got a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDongle-E which I've been trying to use in HA following your very clear guide.

OMG you made my day! I kept hitting into Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms) for 3 days when I followed the other tutorials for the older P version... Now it works and the fun can start!
@@marceaum actually I have, I have to look back into my HA to look what I did. But I am pretty sure I first flashed the stick with the proper firmware. Because although I did it before, I discovers it was not done properly. I used the python method. Will get back to this if I found out exactly what I did.
OH, thank you! It was 2 weeks of struggle with my Moes radiator head, and I finally made it with your videos (firmware flash and this one). Your explanations are super clear. Thank you, legend
Well, I'm glad I could save you from a two-week struggle! Sometimes these things can be a real headache, but I'm here to make it a little easier for you. Keep watching and I'll keep providing clear explanations!
This is one of the best explanations to follow, I had a small issue starting the Zigbee2MQTT when using the long USB device ID. I ran the command "test -w /dev/ttyUSB0 && echo success || echo failure" which confirmed if access to the port is success or not. When I configured the port with success, port: /dev/ttyUSB0 it started working
Connecting to MQTT server at mqtt://core-mosquito:1883 Zigbee2MQTT: error 2022-09-10 16:10:35: MQTT failed to connect: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND core-mosquito Doh!
Ik volg je al een tijdje, super duidelijke uitleg (In alle filmpjes), Iedereen zou het moeten kunnen volgen. Ik heb een werkend systeem (Draaiend op een synology NAS) in mijn huis met een conbee2 stick, Dit werkt al jaren goed. Momenteel ben ik bezig met het configureren van HA voor mijn nieuwbouw woning. Niet meer op de NAS maar op een NUC. Ik heb ook een nieuwe Zigbee 3 E gekocht, zodat ik de voorbereiding beter kan doen. Helaas heb ik problemen met de installatie van de Mosquitto broker en Zigbee2MQTT. "MQTT error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND core-mosuitto" Ik hoop dat ik eruit kan komen.
very clear tutorial. i struggled a bit with some issue in have zigbee2mqtt working. but with ressources in description and some google search i was able to make it work.
For testing purposes I remain my Conbee II stick on ZHA. For Z2M I used a Sonoff without E ;-) and I successfully paired an IKEA bulb, a Hue Remote and a Hue Bulb. I was able to switch the bulbs on and off, change colors and so on. But: None of these three devices were shown in the devices list of HA. I'm glad, that I was clever enough to try it with only three devices. So Z2M is an unsuccessful experiment for me. But thank you anyways for your video!
@@SmartHomeJunkie Hmm, I can't prove it right now. because I restored a prior state of my ha-server. But I try the following right now: I enabled mqtt on a Shelly relay using the ha-mqtt mosquito server. I added a user to ha. With MQTT.fx I can switch the relay and get all sensor data. Then I edited configuration.yaml and added the Shelly as switch, platform mqtt. After rebooting it doesn't show up either. The mqtt server log says, that there would be no username and password (New connection from 192.168.1.78:64016 on port 1883. error: received null username or password for unpwd check). I'm running out of ideas...
Als een noob met Home Assistant lukt het mij dankzij jouw video's. Heldere uitleg en rustige stem. Met ZHA kan ik de nieuwste lijn van ikea niet koppelen, echter met MQTT wel. thnx. Ik draai Home Assistant in een VM op een Synology. De Sonoff donge P werkt blijkbaar alleen als je een USB 2.0 hub ertussen zet op de USB3 poort van de NAS. Wel fijn dat deze bij amazon verkocht worden met de 3.0 firmware voor weinig geld. Scheelt weer werkt.
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo 🙏Ca faisait plusieurs jours que je m'arrachais les cheveux pour faire fonctionner le SONOFF et j'ai trouvé votre vidéo qui m'a sauvé !!! merci encore pour vos vidéos 👍
Got the Sonoff Zigbee E dongle now and finally everything is working. Never had any luck with the skyconnect, still doing it's job as a pure Thread modem though.
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. Sorry for the off topic. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Nice video! I was able to get my ZBDongle-E working with these instructions. I had to remove my ZHA integration, but after that my Zigbee2MQTT started to work.
Took me around an hour to figure this one out too. Great video, but you could definitely add this as a note. Zigbee2MQTT wont start if you have a set up and running ZHA integration. Fails with something like: Error: Failure send setConfigurationValue:{"type":"Buffer","data":[4,0,1,83,0,1,255,0]} at /app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ezsp/driver/ezsp.ts:512:23 at Queue.executeNext (/app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/utils/queue.ts:32:32) EDIT: Okay now I watched the video all the way to the end and saw that you do mention it.
Год назад
@@TheHastur667 and how did you remove the ZHA integration? I'm quite new to all this and I won't find anything but configuration.yaml and there I cannot see anything. I removed from devices the automatically detected entity but it appears again when restarting HA. On services I cannot find any related to zigbee service neither...
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.
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.
Today I got my Sonoff ZBDongle E and luckily the first video I found on RUclips was yours. The setup of the stick worked right away and I have added 3 Philips Hue devices without problems right away. Looking forward to find more useful hints from you.
Thanks for excellent tutorial. I had to remove the `adapter: ezsp` serial setting for pairing to work. I have an 'e' Sonoff adapter. They may have updated the add-on, but not the documentation.
Hello, thank you very much you are live saver, I couldn't run it until you say you need to add "adapter: ezsp" I couldn't find that information thank you :)
Thank you SHJ for your clear explanation, I managed with your help and a little bit of myself :-): I got stuck after configuring the Zigbee2MQTT: it couldn't be saved. After some desperation, I removed ">-" after port:. After that I was able to save and it works as it should. Afterwards I see that HA has put the ">-" back itself.
Very nice explanation. This is basically the same drill when adding the Sonoff ZB Bridge (tasmotized) - in the config file under serial, you set port to the IP of the bridge, and add adapter:ezsp. I use Node Red instead of HA, but installation of zigbee2mqtt is the same.
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.
I have some non-alphanumeric characters in my password, so I don't think its all special characters however I guess there maybe some clashes with certain specials.
Thank you so much for this i had the ZDongle E and failed following another guide due to differeing config to this version. Only addition i did was to add " " between the user / password as would not work without - authentication failure
Only guide that really allowed me to setup my dongle-e with my tuya devices thanks for that. You skimp over the mosquito configuration though. For some reason mine didn't auto setup.
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.
I’m very new to HA, but one thing I can add... my HA is running in a docker container on Ubuntu. I had to add the Sonoff stick using the Add Hardware option before it could be seen in my VM. No doubt that’s obvious to the experts...
i just bougth this stick, and a friend pointed med to your video. Everything is up and running now. But i did not find the script for ikea lamps in the description of this video. I may be blind. Thanks again.
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.
very good tutorial as usual !! Thank you for this video, very helpful for such difficult things to configure. I faced one issue with Zigbee2MQTT configuration when click on save (minutes 4:58). I got an error message like "not a valid value". I struggled to figure out the error, and it was because of my password format; It started with a number. After changing my password by starting with a letter, it works (Just my 2cts in case of newbie like me has the same error)
Looks like the password didn't want to play nice with numbers! But hey, now you know the secret handshake to get it working - start with a letter! Thanks for sharing your experience and helping out other newbies who might face the same issue. Keep rocking those configurations!
Thanks Ed for this thorough explanation, i'm struggling to work with 2 dongle in the same time i have deConz on ZHA and the sonoff zigbee dongle but not the E, I was planning to add z2m but is not working 🤔 I will try it again after you video 😎
Después de ver muchos videos que explicaban como hacerlo, y siempre sin éxito, por fin he conseguido dar con tu video. Me ha funcionado perfectamente, eres el único que ha explicado como configurarlo de manera correcta. Miles de GRACIAS
Hello, 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. "The add-on seems to not be ready, it might still be starting. Do you want to try again?" (in ieder geval hartelijk bedankt voor de verstaanbare stap voor stap uitleg)
Thanx for your instruction. I installed the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle Plus but I recently purchased the Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus-E. I want to swap the Dongle Plus for the Plus E. Can I do that just by adding the right DEVLINKS values and adding "adapter: ezsp" or do I have to re-pair all devices from scratch on.
Thanks so much for the great video ... one question though ... I have tried to connect the broker and when I click on: Do you want to configure Home Assistant to connect to the MQTT broker provided by the add-on Mosquitto broker? and when I do it says' Failed to connect" can't seem to see any obvious reason. I don't suppose anyone on this thread knows why do they?
Была проблема в поднятии zigbee2mqtt пока не настроил везде доступ через рут пользователя home assistant. возможно , когда создавал пользователя под mqtt накосячил где-то, пока не разбирался. Но в целом урок дельный. Свой свисток донгл е я предварительно перепрошил по уроку Alex Kvazis
I guess it will work in Zigbee2MQTT, but you won't see the devices in HA if you do not configure the username and password in the config of Zigbee2MQTT.
@@SmartHomeJunkie I'm pretty noob in this situation, but I think with the latest versions is not necessary anymore, My HA , Mosquitto broker addon and Zigbee2MQTT see all the devices discovered.
@@GibokunGG Yes, you need the Mosquitto broker add-on, but without seeing the username and password in the Zigbee2MQTT configuration of should not work. It might be that the username and password is stored in the configuration.yaml of Zigbee2MQTT and you do not see it in the configuration of the add-on, but it really isn't possible to let it work without that.
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.
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.
Took the plonge from Deconz USB Stick to Sonoff new zigbee dongle Version E. Also installed Z2M. Changed from Deconz to Z2M for OTA updates and Lidl Devices gave me more entities (like power-measuring) than Deconz and couldn't wait for Deconz to release their updates. To be honest, what a nightmare... I have around 50 mains and 52 end's and with Deconz never had really trouble, each devices was available and never unreachable. It was sometimes laggy so a restart in the Deconz App cleared everything up for a week. So I started exploring... Bought 1 stick Dongle Version E to start with, and soon bought 2 extra sticks from the dongle E version to act as router, but this was not the best idea (I'll explain why). I was using a Rpi4 8Gb so I build my new network on my son's old laptop. Everything was faster 🙄🙄, installed the extra 2 routers and it was a little bit better than before (in terms of speed and a little bit more stable HA). But in these times, electricity bills are high, I considered this laptop was not the best in power usage. Installed it back again on the Rpi4 and then the nightmare began. Reinstalled everything and my 2 routers were not able to find my network again and never joined again... The Dongle E routers are back in the box and have for the moment no use anymore. Tried to reset them, write them offer in the hope that everything is back fresh again, but nope! To sad! The network is back up again, but I have to check every day if a device haven't left the network or is online, they disappear from time to time and I didn' get a notification or can see in my device list what is wrong or has left the coordinator. Never experienced such a unstable network. So yesterday I saw A video on RUclips from digiblurDIY who explained that Z2M and the new Dongle E version were not a recommendation, but better to use the P version of the stick, which I ordered yesterday late night. I hope the P version does it way better than the E version, and I hope they'll soon make a new firmware possible that will work better with Z2M (in my instance). I wondered if somebody had the same experience in any kind of that, to let me know how to reset my 3 dongle E version's back completely from scratch so I can re-use them or sell them... What's your opinion SmartHomeJunkie? Greetings Kristof.
The Dongle-E is still experimental. A lot of issues are solved in the latest versions of Zigbee2MQTT, but there are still issues with battery powered devices that sometimes fall off the network and batteries that drain fast. The Dongle-P is stable, so you should be fine with that one. I still run the Dongle-E, but will probably switch to the sky connect which I received this week.

you made my day: after connecting the dongle out of the box I got communication errors.
Checking documentation and following the troubleshooting guide there was no reason find for that.
Finally the small code snippet
"adapter: ezsp" in configuration file made it work.
I found nothing like that in my sources...
Second brilliant hint was getting close to the dongle for pairing.
That made the difference in operation.
Thank you for solving all my problems in one brilliant video!
Thank you!
I had exactly this issue as well!
Your explanations are clear. I really appreciated the pedagogy with which you indicated beforehand what you were going to do before going into the explanations. Complicated things then become simple and transparent.
In your description, there is the link of the blog of your video which resumes in structured text the operating mode that you follow. Very very useful! Personally, I watched the video several times by reducing the speed and activating the subtitles in my language.
You have helped me a lot. Big thanks !
Thank you so much for this really nice comment! 🙏🏻
Thanks to all that said rebooting the Pi would solve the problem. I actually unplugged and then plugged it back in. Thank you again.
Thanks for the tip to REFRESH THE BROWSER after adding Zigbee2Mqtt from the Repository! I wasted 30 minutes trying to figure that out. Another great video. Thanks.
Great to hear that it helped!
Hi
Just switched over to this new stick from the Deconz. It was actually quite easy. This is how it is done:
- put new (coordinator) stick in (Dongle-E)
- remove "old" stick / coordinator (Deconz)
Very well done. I installed no problems. Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
Hi, i was a min. away from jumping off the roof, i was struggling to configure my dongle-E for almost 3 days until i found you movie. thanks a lot!!!
Awesome!
Ook hier in het verleden stabiliteit problemen met de Conbee2. Vorig jaar ben ik overgestapt op de de Sonoff ZB dongle en daarna nooit geen problemen meer gehad. In combinatie met de Moes ZB radiator actuator heb je meer instellingen en mogelijkheden. Dank voor je goede uitleg in je tutorials!!!
Been watching YT videos all day and reading forums ALL DAY trying to figure out why my dongle wouldn't...but not one other 'expert' bothered to tell me that I needed to add that extra code for the E Dongle. You solved my problem with one video and I really appreciate it!
After trying to figure out how to do this for many days, your video helped me start it up perfectly! Thank you very much brother!!! That's why I always like all your videos and am subscribed :).
Thank you!!!
You are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND. Been searching from multiple forum and discussion group none of them got the solution from this, spent extra for an extension cable but no luck. THIS VIDEO IS GOLD
Thanks! 🙏🏻
I was struggling to set this up. Tried following several tutorials. Finally, this one worked! Thanks a lot.
received my Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle on hour ago. thanks to this video, got my first ikea light ( GU10 spot) running already!!!
Brilliant!!!
That is brilliant, thank you very much indeed. Those details you provided for configuring Mosquitto and z2mqtt saved me a lot of time and no doubt frustration! I currently have a very small network, as these are my first steps into zigbee for HA, but that will change over time.
Great to hear that this helped you.
Hey, bedankt voor je video's, ben een beginner in home assistant en heb al heel veel hulp gehad aan je video's en veel bijgeleerd. stap voor stap gevolgd wat je in deze video toont en werkt perfect!
Top!
Brilliant tutorial. I followed your steps (almost) exactly and it failed! But then I found I'd missed 2 spaces before the port value. Proper indentation is critical I'm discovering with HA. I corrected that and it worked!
Excellent!
You just saved me multiple hours of troubleshoot by explaining everything step by step. I was able to find few things I did wrong, thank you so much!
Thank you for this video, finally got it to make it work, I had the sonoff stick lying around for months and tried a few times to install Zigbee2Mqtt without success. Following your video finally I got it working!
I tried install Zigbee2MQTT and pair the Sonoff Dongle-E with others video but was not successful, until I follow your instruction. Thank you!
Looks like my video was the missing puzzle piece! Don't worry, I won't tell the others that you needed my help. Your secret is safe with me!
hello, I wanted to thank you very sincerely because out of 5 installation videos that I tried, you are the only one with whom it worked, again a big thank you
Great that it helped!
Best Video ever! After desperately trying for multiple times with your help it worked the first try! Subscribed immediately! Thank you again for your great explanation!
I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you and that you were able to achieve success on your first try! Thank you for your support and subscribing to the channel!
Thanks for this easy tutorial. One problem which drove me crazy:
If you use a SSD for the RP4 as boot + the Sonoff Stick, it is recognized but devices will not pair/ be discovered. This was due to the 3A limit of the power supply!! Active USB Hub and now everything works fine
Thank you both, for the video tutorial and also for the comments as I am also equipped with RP4 + SSD + the Sonoff Stick and it was not working until I added an Active USB Hub 🙂
It saved my life, I saw several Brazilian tutorials and none of them helped, thank you very much. ♥
I've got a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDongle-E which I've been trying to use in HA following your very clear guide.

@@cbosjesman I can only say, look at the website that the log file refers to. You might have a specific issue that is mentioned there.
@@cbosjesman Hello, I have exactly the same problem and the same dongle as you. Have you found a solution?
@@marceaum actually I have, I have to look back into my HA to look what I did. But I am pretty sure I first flashed the stick with the proper firmware. Because although I did it before, I discovers it was not done properly. I used the python method. Will get back to this if I found out exactly what I did.
OH, thank you! It was 2 weeks of struggle with my Moes radiator head, and I finally made it with your videos (firmware flash and this one). Your explanations are super clear. Thank you, legend
Well, I'm glad I could save you from a two-week struggle! Sometimes these things can be a real headache, but I'm here to make it a little easier for you. Keep watching and I'll keep providing clear explanations!
This is one of the best explanations to follow, I had a small issue starting the Zigbee2MQTT when using the long USB device ID. I ran the command "test -w /dev/ttyUSB0 && echo success || echo failure" which confirmed if access to the port is success or not. When I configured the port with success, port: /dev/ttyUSB0 it started working
Just got this device in the mail today, I was thrilled to find your video on this exact topic I needed. You are amazing!
That's great to hear!

Ik volg je al een tijdje, super duidelijke uitleg (In alle filmpjes), Iedereen zou het moeten kunnen volgen. Ik heb een werkend systeem (Draaiend op een synology NAS) in mijn huis met een conbee2 stick, Dit werkt al jaren goed.
Momenteel ben ik bezig met het configureren van HA voor mijn nieuwbouw woning. Niet meer op de NAS maar op een NUC. Ik heb ook een nieuwe Zigbee 3 E gekocht, zodat ik de voorbereiding beter kan doen. Helaas heb ik problemen met de installatie van de Mosquitto broker en Zigbee2MQTT. "MQTT error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND core-mosuitto"
Ik hoop dat ik eruit kan komen.
Het moet core-mosquitto zijn en niet core-mosuitto
you sir are a genius and I can now stop pulling my hair out. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this video! Now our house has its first few smart bulbs! :)
Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled that the video helped you brighten up your home with smart technology!
very clear tutorial. i struggled a bit with some issue in have zigbee2mqtt working. but with ressources in description and some google search i was able to make it work.
That's awesome!
great video. had some trouble with the configuration until i saw how you did it in yours
That's great to hear!
For testing purposes I remain my Conbee II stick on ZHA. For Z2M I used a Sonoff without E ;-) and I successfully paired an IKEA bulb, a Hue Remote and a Hue Bulb. I was able to switch the bulbs on and off, change colors and so on. But: None of these three devices were shown in the devices list of HA. I'm glad, that I was clever enough to try it with only three devices. So Z2M is an unsuccessful experiment for me. But thank you anyways for your video!
If they don't show up in Home Assistant, then probably you filled in the wrong credentials or mqtt server in your Zigbee2MQTT configuration.
@@SmartHomeJunkie
Hmm, I can't prove it right now. because I restored a prior state of my ha-server. But I try the following right now: I enabled mqtt on a Shelly relay using the ha-mqtt mosquito server. I added a user to ha. With MQTT.fx I can switch the relay and get all sensor data.
Then I edited configuration.yaml and added the Shelly as switch, platform mqtt. After rebooting it doesn't show up either. The mqtt server log says, that there would be no username and password (New connection from 192.168.1.78:64016 on port 1883.
error: received null username or password for unpwd check).
I'm running out of ideas...
Als een noob met Home Assistant lukt het mij dankzij jouw video's. Heldere uitleg en rustige stem. Met ZHA kan ik de nieuwste lijn van ikea niet koppelen, echter met MQTT wel. thnx.
Ik draai Home Assistant in een VM op een Synology. De Sonoff donge P werkt blijkbaar alleen als je een USB 2.0 hub ertussen zet op de USB3 poort van de NAS. Wel fijn dat deze bij amazon verkocht worden met de 3.0 firmware voor weinig geld. Scheelt weer werkt.
Fijn om te horen dat mijn videos je helpen!
Finally, I managed to pair my Zigbee-e with your help, thanks!
Glad I could help!
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo 🙏Ca faisait plusieurs jours que je m'arrachais les cheveux pour faire fonctionner le SONOFF et j'ai trouvé votre vidéo qui m'a sauvé !!! merci encore pour vos vidéos 👍
De rien! 👍🏻
Got the Sonoff Zigbee E dongle now and finally everything is working. Never had any luck with the skyconnect, still doing it's job as a pure Thread modem though.
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.
Sorry for the off topic. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Is that difficult to do? I have ha on VM. A bit slow...
@@caspersn1971 no it's not
@@hammerlized can you recommend a turtorial?
Nice video! I was able to get my ZBDongle-E working with these instructions. I had to remove my ZHA integration, but after that my Zigbee2MQTT started to work.
Took me around an hour to figure this one out too. Great video, but you could definitely add this as a note. Zigbee2MQTT wont start if you have a set up and running ZHA integration. Fails with something like:
Error: Failure send setConfigurationValue:{"type":"Buffer","data":[4,0,1,83,0,1,255,0]} at /app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ezsp/driver/ezsp.ts:512:23 at Queue.executeNext (/app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/utils/queue.ts:32:32)
EDIT: Okay now I watched the video all the way to the end and saw that you do mention it.
@@TheHastur667 and how did you remove the ZHA integration? I'm quite new to all this and I won't find anything but configuration.yaml and there I cannot see anything. I removed from devices the automatically detected entity but it appears again when restarting HA. On services I cannot find any related to zigbee service neither...
@@TheHastur667 How did you disable ZHA?
Outstanding video, which helped me get my setup working. Thanks.
That's awesome to hear!
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.
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.
Today I got my Sonoff ZBDongle E and luckily the first video I found on RUclips was yours. The setup of the stick worked right away and I have added 3 Philips Hue devices without problems right away. Looking forward to find more useful hints from you.
That's awesome!
Thanks for excellent tutorial.
I had to remove the `adapter: ezsp` serial setting for pairing to work.
I have an 'e' Sonoff adapter. They may have updated the add-on, but not the documentation.
🤔 That shouldn't be the case. Are you sure that that setting is also removed from the configuration.yaml of Zigbee2MQTT?
Hello, thank you very much you are live saver, I couldn't run it until you say you need to add "adapter: ezsp" I couldn't find that information thank you :)
Great to hear that it helped!
MANY MANY thanks!!!! i had a problem and only your video solved it.....
That is great to hear!
Thank you SHJ for your clear explanation, I managed with your help and a little bit of myself :-): I got stuck after configuring the Zigbee2MQTT: it couldn't be saved. After some desperation, I removed ">-" after port:. After that I was able to save and it works as it should. Afterwards I see that HA has put the ">-" back itself.
Very nice explanation. This is basically the same drill when adding the Sonoff ZB Bridge (tasmotized) - in the config file under serial, you set port to the IP of the bridge, and add adapter:ezsp. I use Node Red instead of HA, but installation of zigbee2mqtt is the same.
what does adapter: ezsp do?
@@MarinDzhigarov It tells zigbee2mqtt that you are using a bridge of some sort other than a directly supported (firmware flashet) USB receiver.
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.
I have some non-alphanumeric characters in my password, so I don't think its all special characters however I guess there maybe some clashes with certain specials.
La vidéo parfaite !!! Cela a fonctionné... à la seconde tentative ! J'ai dû raté un p'tit truc :-)
Awesome!
Thank you so much for this i had the ZDongle E and failed following another guide due to differeing config to this version. Only addition i did was to add " " between the user / password as would not work without - authentication failure
Only guide that really allowed me to setup my dongle-e with my tuya devices thanks for that. You skimp over the mosquito configuration though. For some reason mine didn't auto setup.
Not sure why it wouldn't automatically setup. 🤷🏼 Works here every time. There must be something different in your setup compared to mine.
@@SmartHomeJunkie That is odd. Anyway its all working now. Success! :)
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.
Okay. In my case this was not needed. Not sure why you had to do it that way. But great that it works for you!
I’m very new to HA, but one thing I can add... my HA is running in a docker container on Ubuntu. I had to add the Sonoff stick using the Add Hardware option before it could be seen in my VM. No doubt that’s obvious to the experts...
Thanks for adding this. This will no doubt help other people.
Thanks for the video mate ! Helped me get my dongle setup and running ... i have subbed to the channel for more helpful videos in the future

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.
Best tutorial I could find. Thanks!
Great job on the video, very clear and easy to follow.
Bedankt!
Dank je wel voor je support!
very good tutorial as usual !! Thank you for this video, very helpful for such difficult things to configure.
I faced one issue with Zigbee2MQTT configuration when click on save (minutes 4:58).
I got an error message like "not a valid value". I struggled to figure out the error, and it was because of my password format; It started with a number. After changing my password by starting with a letter, it works (Just my 2cts in case of newbie like me has the same error)
Looks like the password didn't want to play nice with numbers! But hey, now you know the secret handshake to get it working - start with a letter! Thanks for sharing your experience and helping out other newbies who might face the same issue. Keep rocking those configurations!
These tutorials are far more detailed than on other HA You2bers :)

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?"

Thanks for your video. This helped me find the DNS name of Mosquitto Broker
That's great to hear!
Works perfectly!!! Thanks!! I have a tuya hub too. Can i add it on MQTT via zigbee mesh too?? I try pair, but don't apear.
Thanx for your instruction. I installed the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle Plus but I recently purchased the Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus-E. I want to swap the Dongle Plus for the Plus E. Can I do that just by adding the right DEVLINKS values and adding "adapter: ezsp" or do I have to re-pair all devices from scratch on.
Thanks so much for the great video ... one question though ... I have tried to connect the broker and when I click on:
Do you want to configure Home Assistant to connect to the MQTT broker provided by the add-on Mosquitto broker?
and when I do it says' Failed to connect" can't seem to see any obvious reason. I don't suppose anyone on this thread knows why do they?
Quick newbie question. What is so great about Zigbee2MQTT compared to the ZHA defaults ??
Была проблема в поднятии zigbee2mqtt пока не настроил везде доступ через рут пользователя home assistant. возможно , когда создавал пользователя под mqtt накосячил где-то, пока не разбирался. Но в целом урок дельный. Свой свисток донгл е я предварительно перепрошил по уроку Alex Kvazis
Thank you! A very good tutorial.
Thanks for the video, quick question, so unlike Sonoff ZBDongle P, ZBDongle E does not need any flash. right?
Indeed.
Thanks for the video! I manage to link my ZBDongle-E, I just skipped the user creation for mosquito and even that works also :)
I guess it will work in Zigbee2MQTT, but you won't see the devices in HA if you do not configure the username and password in the config of Zigbee2MQTT.
@@SmartHomeJunkie I'm pretty noob in this situation, but I think with the latest versions is not necessary anymore, My HA , Mosquitto broker addon and Zigbee2MQTT see all the devices discovered.
maybe the trick is to have the Mosquitto broker addon, I just realized that... sorry hehehe
@@GibokunGG Yes, you need the Mosquitto broker add-on, but without seeing the username and password in the Zigbee2MQTT configuration of should not work. It might be that the username and password is stored in the configuration.yaml of Zigbee2MQTT and you do not see it in the configuration of the add-on, but it really isn't possible to let it work without that.
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.
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.
Took the plonge from Deconz USB Stick to Sonoff new zigbee dongle Version E. Also installed Z2M.
Changed from Deconz to Z2M for OTA updates and Lidl Devices gave me more entities (like power-measuring) than Deconz and couldn't wait for Deconz to release their updates.
To be honest, what a nightmare...
I have around 50 mains and 52 end's and with Deconz never had really trouble, each devices was available and never unreachable. It was sometimes laggy so a restart in the Deconz App cleared everything up for a week. So I started exploring...
Bought 1 stick Dongle Version E to start with, and soon bought 2 extra sticks from the dongle E version to act as router, but this was not the best idea (I'll explain why).
I was using a Rpi4 8Gb so I build my new network on my son's old laptop. Everything was faster 🙄🙄, installed the extra 2 routers and it was a little bit better than before (in terms of speed and a little bit more stable HA). But in these times, electricity bills are high, I considered this laptop was not the best in power usage.
Installed it back again on the Rpi4 and then the nightmare began. Reinstalled everything and my 2 routers were not able to find my network again and never joined again...
The Dongle E routers are back in the box and have for the moment no use anymore. Tried to reset them, write them offer in the hope that everything is back fresh again, but nope! To sad!
The network is back up again, but I have to check every day if a device haven't left the network or is online, they disappear from time to time and I didn' get a notification or can see in my device list what is wrong or has left the coordinator. Never experienced such a unstable network.
So yesterday I saw A video on RUclips from digiblurDIY who explained that Z2M and the new Dongle E version were not a recommendation, but better to use the P version of the stick, which I ordered yesterday late night.
I hope the P version does it way better than the E version, and I hope they'll soon make a new firmware possible that will work better with Z2M (in my instance). I wondered if somebody had the same experience in any kind of that, to let me know how to reset my 3 dongle E version's back completely from scratch so I can re-use them or sell them...
What's your opinion SmartHomeJunkie?
Greetings Kristof.
The Dongle-E is still experimental. A lot of issues are solved in the latest versions of Zigbee2MQTT, but there are still issues with battery powered devices that sometimes fall off the network and batteries that drain fast. The Dongle-P is stable, so you should be fine with that one. I still run the Dongle-E, but will probably switch to the sky connect which I received this week.
Спасибо тебе добрый человек! Привет из России!
I used this guide for skyconnect and it worked great! I’d like to switch to a POE dongle instead. What would be the best way to do that?
