Successfully migrated from a ConBee II to the newer ConBee III USB-stick on our HomeAssistant! I would not have looked forward to manually re-pairing 16 Zigbee devices…
And I’ll only have to open a single ticket on a documentation/UI issue in HA ;-)
Also the OPNSense update went through without a hitch, but that was also my expectation.
Is where a #howto to get a #conbeeIII work with #zigbee2mqtt ?
I always got back to the “onboarding screen” and cannot see anything in my #MQTT explorer.
I bought a #AqaraW100 and the implementation in #ZHA is really poor.
Alright! Got everything paired again (at least I think I got everything), and have added a whole bunch more Aqara switches. Already the range on the SLZB is far and above that of the #conbee - I can definitely recommend spending the extra if you're considering one or the other. That, and having this as an ethernet adapter feels like migrating to a new machine/container later on would be far simpler.
Now I just have to get #homeassistant tidied up and #homeassistantvoice configured in a sane manner! So far it's still pretty hit and miss.
#HomeAssistant with #ZHA in #Podman just crashed hard.
The #ConBee 2 stick restarted (probably due to Frigate #FFmpeg #OOMKiller), thus the ttyACM-path changed.
But that didn't exist anymore.
So ZHA stopped running.
Didn't get this to work reliably without --privileged … so HA now runs in a privileged Podman container with passed through /dev.
You can convert a #conbee2 into a #Thread Border Router !!!

Note: the #conbee will lose its #zigbee capability but its nice if you don't use it anymore and want to test #matter

Phoscon hat seine Zigbee USB-Sticks ConBee II und ConBee III mit Matter- und Thread-Support versorgt. Ersterer dürfte damit das älteste Gerät am Markt mit Thread-Support sein. #phoscon #conbee #matter #thread
