Setting up Zigbee with Home Assistant - Unlock the full potential! (Part 1: Zigbee Bridge)

Zigbee is a wireless mesh networking protocol that is utilized in a variety of consumer and industrial applications. Mesh networks are formed by Zigbee devices, which means that a majority of mains-powered devices can operate as a repeater for other devices in the network. This makes Home Assistant the ideal candidate in my opinion, as it allows us to control our devices without relying on cloud services.

Great information. Looking forward to the other installments.

[@BinaryTechLabs]

Thanks, and everything else worked out for you? Your email address keeps bouncing back as undeliverable.

[@FloetschMaster]

tzhanks bro.. i followed a older video but it doesnt worked out.. your commands did the job!

[@BinaryTechLabs]

Glad to hear, it's one of the issues a lot of us content creators face, which is why I always try to include version numbers

[@richlydiard3521]

is the Zigbee bridge the same thing as a Zigbee HUB????

[@BinaryTechLabs]

Yes

[@damzelfly]

After I enter the console command it says:
RUL: SYSTEM#BOOT performs "TCPStart 8888"
RSL: RESULT = {"Command":"Error"}
Please Help
Edit: The TCP Server is working on ZB-Bridge. But when I try to connect to it using ZHA it says error.

[@BinaryTechLabs]

I have not come across that error, best advice I can give you is to try to flash it again and start over

[@damzelfly]

@@BinaryTechLabs Thanks for the reply.
So I did it just like in your video until 19:17
But instead of success like in your video, I got "Failed to setup".
I did reflashed several times but its the same.

[@BinaryTechLabs]

Yeah ok, well you could try searching the Github repositories issue page and see if any one else has come across that error

[@gustavo5557125]

the same here. I am using de ZB-GW03, did you solve it?
