I wanted to try out gladys, so I put it on a spare raspberry pi, put in a CC2531 I had laying around and booted it up. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of polish of the OS. It looks really good! Next up I installed zigbee2mqtt the way (I think) it’s supposed to by enabling the mqtt integration. Afterwards I set up the right usb port in the zigbee2mqtt settings and it seems to work well. Then I went to the discovery page, but this is where things went wrong. I had the ‘permit joining’ slider, but the ‘scan’ button is completely missing. This is different from the guide on the wiki. I tried putting a device in pairing mode anyway and toggling on the ‘permit joining’ slider. This did nothing to my disappointment.
Has the scan option been removed? Or am I just being silly?
Oh ok that’s good I guess. in the meantime I just logged into zigbee2mqtt directly and did stuff there. That seemed to work just fine for me. I did however have to install portainer first to discover what was happening in the background.
