I added the https://github.com/zigbee2mqtt/hassio-zigbee2mqtt repository in the addon store and installed the zigbee2mqtt addon, then I configured it with the appropriate values.. when I try to start the service I get error,
#Error trying to start zigbee2mqtt addon.

am I doing something wrong?
here is my configuration.
the ZHA integration for HA seems to work.
z2m: Error: Adapter EZSP protocol version (8) is not supported by Host [13-16].
Did you read that error?
It's basically saying that the firmware is too old - update the firmware on the stick
Yes, but not sure how to proceed. I'm very new to zigbee world.
First time using it.
Are there some instructions on how to do so?
I don't see any instructions here.
I have no idea what to do, as I stated above, I'm new to zigbee and zigbee world in general.
I don't see my device name here, not sure what NabuCasa is..
You haven't told us what your device is
Its in the screenshot.. Sonoff Zigbee Dongle 3.0 USB Plus.
Then use one of the multi-device options
Pretty sure that one is even available as an add-on if you use HAOS
What is it called?
No idea, I don't use add-ons
Have you checked the pins in #zigbee-archived ?
Did you look at the links above? Particularly the darkxst ones?
Brother, I am not experienced in zigbee.. you want me to read all this, which I understand, but flashing a device, this is something I need some confidence from someone who knows a little more than me.
Most videos on YT I found recommend this firmware, https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/
now you are telling something else
I have no clue who to believe here.
That's for completely different chips than are in your stick
Use it if you want, but it'll either not work, or at worst break it
I'm telling you what to use, because that's what works for the stick you have
But hey, don't listen to me, that's fine 😉
But the video its recommended from says the device I have, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jqQCxjlRDU
In todays video we are looking at Sonoffs Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. These dongles are great and come pre flashed with the Z-Stack_3.x.0 firmware and are ready to work straight out of the box.
I would highly reccomend updating the firmware on them though in order to utiise newer features and sto support more connected Zigbee devices.
In this ...
How can you tell?
Anyway, I'm done, good luck
@ripe coral Did you change the channel of your zigbee network?
I didn't change anything just installed ZHA and connected my devices. But later tried to use zigbee2mqtt which failed to start.
Which file do I even pick from the release page here? https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/releases
@static thorn Can you tell me which file I need to use form the repo?
I flashed my dongle with this firmware, https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/releases/download/20250107/zbdonglee_zigbee_ncp_8.0.2.0_sw_flow_115200.gbl
using Silabs Flasher addon in HAOS.
At first I turned off Hardware control flow off but it failed to flash, then I turned it on and tried again.. this time it worked.
Now I can connect Zigbee2Mqtt with my dongle.
Now one of my device fails to pair, I have opened an issue here, https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/25968
GitHub
What happened? I have a Sonoff contact sensor, SNZB-04P, trying to pair it fails. At first I was not able to connect my dongle to z2m, but I then flashes the v8 firmware from here, https://github.c...
incase someone knows something, please do share.
This device worked with ZHA BTW, it takes a long time, sometimes fails but does work with ZHA.
with Zigbee2Mqtt it doesn't seem to work, I have tried multiple times no luck.
