Sorry, just realised that providing the config would be helpful 😅

How do I check?

I'm doing some Googling simultaneously, and I found that I could run ls -l /dev/serial/by-id in the terminal. Doing that showed me that the path should be ttyACM0 and not ttyUSB0. I changed that path, and now I am getting a different error:

You should be using the /dev/serial/by-id/ path

fluid violetBOT
peak pagoda
#

And you can look there for ZHA - it'll be named after the Zigbee stick

#

Talking of that... which stick are you using?

Is what I see.  I don't know what the full path is because it won't display it. 

I'm using a Sonoff ZB-Dongle E (This one: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B0B6P22YJC)

Ah... well.. that helps

#

You need to read the Adapter page in the Z2M docs

#

Click on your adapter name

fading belfry
#

It says that I should add adapter: ezsp to the serial section. New error this time.

This tells me that `server: mqtt://localhost:1883` is perhaps the issue in my config. How do I find out what it should actually be?
#

Should that be the IP address of HA?

You're using the add-on?

peak pagoda
#

If only the add-on had docs telling you how to configure it 😉

#

leave empty when using the Mosquitto broker addon

fading belfry
#

No you don't get it - those docs - they make perfect sense IF you know what you're doing.

Leaving it empty causes it to NOT start

peak pagoda
#

You had other problems

#

And if following the docs doesn't work you should open an issue

fading belfry
#

Sorry, this is just a bit overwhelming. I installed this thing last evening, and it's just been one issue after the other that I'm trying to fix. I know precious little about linux so this is incredibly hard 😅

peak pagoda
#

Then take a step back. Your startup problems were down to not having the adapter set correctly

#

Now you've fixed that try leaving the MQTT settings blank

fading belfry
#

Got it

#

Okay, leaving it blank makes it work now 😄

#

Is the Sonoff stick supposed to show up in the list? When using ZWave JS UI, the ZStick 7 shows up as a device.

peak pagoda
#

No

fading belfry
#

okay
Guess I'll start pairing things then

peak pagoda
#

Remember to start with the router devices

fading belfry
#

Started going through them and came across this one here #zigbee-archived message. I installed that addon and am about to update the firmware on my USB Stick, but the addon wants me to add a network path. Based on the YouTube video that the author uploaded, selecting a USB device is also required when updating a network device, and the selection is inconsequential - is it therefore safe to assume that if I am updateing a USB device, then the IP address is inconsequential and that I can enter whatever text in that field?
