Zigbee2mqtt integration

Configuration
1

Hi again,
I am running zigbee2mqtt service to control Zigbee switch plug. It works and I can see state is changing.
Now I am trying to integrate zigbee2mqtt with Gladys.

and on the server side I got an error message:

P.S. I am running Gladys in development environment:

Hey @sigidagi :slight_smile:

Currently, we do not support connecting to an existing Zigbee2mqtt container in Gladys, we only support starting a Zigbee2mqtt Docker container from Gladys (hence the Docker requirements)

As you are running Gladys in a developpement environnement (and not from inside the official Docker container), this integration will not work

For the future, @atrovato is working on making it possible to connect to external already-existing Zigbee2mqtt instances :wink:

Hi @pierre-gilles
Thanks for your answer,
Ok, I disable local zigbe2mqqt and installed gladys docker. It is running and I have three containers: gladys, mqqt broker and zigbee2mgtt.
Added Philips switch.

As far as good.
But UI is not that intuitive. I was expecting some toggle button to able to control this switch device. Where I can find it?
P.S. Zigbee2Mqtt frontend was working but I needed more nicer UI (also for mobile phone), so I was looking for gladys :slight_smile:

Go to the dashboard (home) and add a box « devices in room » with that device :slight_smile:

Note: your device needs to be defined in a room in the Zigbee2mqtt integration

Thanks @pierre-gilles ,
Yes I have added room and device to that room - I have now toggle button!

I can see that mqtt broker exposes 1884 port, so I would like to publish some other (not zigbee) devices to the broker, i.e. temperature sensor data. I expect that Gladys will recognize as another Zigbee2mqqt device?
I have tried to test connection:

mosquitto_sub -p 1884 -t '#'

Connection refused: not authorized.

What is username and password?

Cheers

If you want to do that, use the MQTT integration and our MQTT API :slight_smile:

Follow this tutorial to do that :

Hi @csoellinger ! Welcome on the community :slight_smile:

In the meantime, @atrovato had a small baby and he has less time for open-source aha, so for now the PR is waiting for a new contributor :slight_smile:

If you want to help, the current codebase is here:

It’s not far from being ready for a release, I would say that 80% of the work is done, but the last 20% are always the hardest :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you have any developer knowledge to help us on this?

Oh that is great :slight_smile: and congratulations to @atrovato

As a 15 years of experience web developer working with PHP/JS/TS there is a good chance i can help :smiley:

I’ll check how to get an development enviroment for gladys and will take a look at it. But it can take a while too cause i still have my job and also a life far away of developing :smiley:

Good to know about the PR, so thanks for now :slight_smile:

Nice !!

Do you code on Linux/MacOS or Windows ?

We have tutorials for both platforms:

Don’t hesitate if you have any questions!

Linux :slight_smile:

I already have a local working copy :slight_smile: just have to figure out how to easily create a new user without the first signup page :smiley:

Try to find it in the code or docs :slight_smile:

Forget it, now it’s redirecting me correctly to the signup page :eyes:
Not sure, why i always landed on the login page before…

Just to let you know, you can seed data users with command:

npm run db-seed:dev

package.json

The user demo@demo.com with password mysuperpassword will be created

Ahh nice to know thx :smiley:
I should check the package json files :slight_smile:
