No, you need that Node Red connector in your Node Red install, wherever and however you installed it

#

and how I'll get that interfaces for zigbee2mqtt if I'll not install on home assistant ?

steep estuary Dec 13, 2022, 7:38 AM

#

Z2M uses MQTT to communicate with ... anything

#

As long as your NR install is using the same broker it'll work

I get that, but my question it's: how can i acces the zigbee2mqtt interface in HA if I want to see all devices ?

#

sorry for asking strange questions but I want to start with the right foot on this z2m from deconz

#

right now I have deconz installed on HA and an events all: deconz_event in node-red

#

Oh, Z2M's UI ...

#

Do you already have the UI working?

#

Right now I'm searching a bit to moving from deconz to Z2M

#

and I'm ready to do this switch

#

If you're using the Z2M add-on it'll appear in HA's sidebar automatically AFAIK

#

If not you can use https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/panel_iframe/ to "add" it there

#

I know that, but after that if i'll use z2m addon ha, how I will get all events on node-red ?

#

So basically I'll install both of them, if I'm not wrong

#

An add-on is a Docker container with tweaks to allow it to be configured in the Supervisor UI. It is only available in the Supervised installs (#330990055533576204 and #330944238910963714) since if you've used any other install method you're able to install software already.

https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-zigbee2mqtt is a bridge between Node Red and Zigbee2MQTT - it doesn't provide either of those itself

#

You install:

Home Assistant
Node Red
Zigbee2MQTT
Mosquitto or your choice of MQTT broker

#

oh I see, the ha addon z2m will be only for interface and node-red addon will be between z2m events and node-red

steep estuary Dec 13, 2022, 7:47 AM

#

The Z2M add-on is Zigbee2MQTT

#

The Node Red plugin is how NR communicates with Z2M

mossy nacelle Dec 13, 2022, 7:48 AM

#

yes

#

and I'll use Zigbee2MQTT for interface only and Node Red plugin for communicates

steep estuary Dec 13, 2022, 7:53 AM

#

Nobody normally uses Z2M's UI for anything other than managing your Zigbee devices - pairing, renaming, etc

mossy nacelle Dec 13, 2022, 7:53 AM

#

okay, I understand that now

one more question, at mqtt host what I need to write?

mossy nacelle Dec 13, 2022, 9:28 AM

#

How can I turn on a light with zigbee2mqtt node out ?

#node-red-archived can help with Node Red - once you've connected the two with #1052126357041201182 message there's nothing Z2M related really
