Following a conversation on #zigbee controller < https://hachyderm.io/@yourfutureex@metalhead.club/113418658374660022 > I ordered 9 days ago the #smlight #SLZB-06M

It will replace the #conbee2 that I used since 4 years.

I can't wait for the end of the day so I can test it

I ordered the SLZB-06M
Let's see if #EFR32MG21 is as good as #CC2652P

I will not paint it in white 😋 but hide it under the desk.
Now the big question: what should I do to migrate the #zigbee network from #conbee2 to #slzb-06 ?

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

Hoping that the community will give it some love and some feedback.

How to Install Home Assistant Supervised on TrueNAS Scale with working ConBee II/SONOFF Zigbee Stick

YouTube

I'm completely new to #HomeAssistant. I have a #Conbee2 that I want to connect via "#ZigBee Home Automation" on an Ubuntu 22.04. There's no VM, Docker or alike involved. I only get these two errors: "Failure to connect." or "Unknown error occurred." The device correctly shows up as `/dev/ttyACM0`. It's owned by root:dialout with crw-rw----. The HA user is a member of the dialout group.

Does anybody have any idea where to look?

@mongrelion @matl I second this suggestion. I was nervous when I started with #HomeAssistant and a #Conbee2, but now I just laugh at all the marketing material and online store warnings about how I "must" purchase the matching manufacturers hub to use their lightbulb/thermostat/switch/plug etc.
