With the Zigbee-coordinator based on Texas Instruments SoC, deCONZ ConBee/RaspBee modules, Silicon Labs EZSP v8 or ZIGate USB-TTL it creates its own zigbee-network, into which zigbee-devices are connected. By work directly with the coordinator, the driver allows you to manage devices without additional application / gateways / bridge from device manufacturers (Xiaomi / TRADFRI / Hue / Tuya). About the device Zigbee-network can be read here (in English).
One coordinator device is required for each zigbee Adapter instance. The device must be flashed with the respective coordinator firmware. A list of supported coordinators, the necessary equipment for the firmware and the device preparation process for different coordinator devices are described here in English or smarthomescene.com or here in Russian
Recommended devices are based on either the CC2652 or CC1352 chip. Devices based on cc253x chips are still supported but are no longer recommended. Only CC26xx/cc1352/cc2538 Devices support extraction of the NVRam backup which should allow to swap coordinator hardware without having to reconnect all zigbee devices to the network. Current firmware files for these devices can be found on GitHub

recommended:
- ConBee II
- RaspBee II
no longer recommended:
- ConBee I
- RaspBee
While Conbee/RaspBee Support is no longer considered experimental in the zigbee-herdsman and zigbee-herdsman-converters libraries used by the zigbee Adapter, use of these devices with the adapter may limit functionality. Known issues are:
- link quality display may be incorrect
- device map metrics may be incorrect
- NVRam Backup is not supported.
Support for Silicon Lab Zigbee based adapters is experimental. The initial support for EZSP v8 is still not yet considered stable and the project is in need of more developers volunteering to help with this integration. Please refer to the respective documentation on this page and ongoing development discussion with regards to the state of Silabs EmberZNet Serial Protocol (EZSP) adapter implementation integration into the zigbee-herdsman and zigbee-herdsman-converters libraries which it depends on.
Support for ZiGate based adapters is experimental. The initial support for ZiGate is still not yet considered stable and the project is in need of more developers volunteering to help with this integration. Please refer to the respective documentation on this page and ongoing development discussion with regards to the state of ZiGate adapter implementation into the zigbee-herdsman and zigbee-herdsman-converters libraries which it depends on.
To start the driver, you must specify the name of the port on which the Zigbee-module (stick) is connected. Usually this is the port /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyUSB0 for the UART-connection. Or you can find with ls -l /dev/serial/by-id the device direct.
open the settings and change port
For Windows this will be the COM port number.
Starting from version 1.0.0 you can also use tcp connection for cases using esp8266 (or other microcontrollers) as serial-bridge. For example tcp://192.168.1.46:8880. Read more info here https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/connecting_cc2530#via-an-esp8266
To connect devices, you need to switch the Zigbee-coordinator to pairing mode by pressing the green button. The countdown will begin (60 seconds) until the device connectivity is available. To connect Zigbee devices in most cases, just press the pairing button on the device itself. But there are features for some devices. More information about pairing with devices can be found here (in English)
After successful pairing, the device appears in the configuration panel. If the device appears in the configuration panel but has the type "undefined", then this is an unknown device and can not be work with it. If the device is in the list of available devices, but added as "undefined", then try to remove the device and add it again.
The devices connected to the Zigbee-network and inform the coordinator of their status and events (button presses, motion detection, temperature change). This information is reflected in the ioBroker object-states. Some ioBroker states have feedback and send commands to the zigbee-device when the value changes (switching the state of the outlet or lamp, changing the scene or the brightness of the lamp).
You may create groups of devices.
It is a Zigbee feature, intended for example to switch bulbs synchronized. Assign groups via device tabs edit button. A group will show as own "device" in Objects.
Note: Not all devices support groups (not supported by end devices like sensors).

This is a tool for advanced users to test currently unsupported devices or enhance this adapters functionality. More instructions can be found on tab.
There is a friendly project with similar functionality on the same technologies, where you can work with the same devices using the MQTT protocol. Therefore, if any improvements or support for new zigbee-devices occur in the Zigbee2MQTT project, we can transfer and add the same functionality to this adapter. If you notice this, then write the issue - we'll postpone it.
There are knowledge bases that can be useful for working with Zigbee-devices and equipment:

- Log entries will identify which files are entered as converters. Errors in these files should not cause the adapter to crash - instead, use of external converters may be unavailable.

- Changes to device names made within the zigbee adapter are stored in the file dev_names.json. This file is not deleted when the adapter is removed, and will be referenced when a device is added to the zigbee adapter. Deleting and reinstalling the adapter will no longer remove custom device names, nor will deleting and adding the device anew.
