Maybe replace pi:pi with just your user name.

Try here

Think the pi:pi is username:password? Defaults assuming you are installing on a pi?

No, that could lead you into problems

I think that is just installing node.js. Try here

where are you stuck?

Re: Zigbee sensor instructions

Post by agame » Thu Aug 13, 2020 4:40 pm

can anyone point to install instructions for installing zigbee2mqtt on a Mac...I realise its essentially the same as the Linux doco but there are syntax differences that are tripping me up...

Ok I moved it closer and it works. So hardware and firmware good. I just need to centralise the devices a bit.

Looking at the documentation here: MQTT topics and message structure, I see it is possible to get a graphical display of the Zigbee network. Search for this heading: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/networkmap

You need to publish a message with the topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/networkmap/routes and payload of graphviz [Note no {} around the payload].

This can take a few minutes and you will get a network map data published as a message topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/networkmap/[graphviz. I didn't use this, I just copied the content of the message out of the zigbee2mqtt log.

You can then paste the message starting with digraph G { and ending in } into the panel at WebGraphViz to get a graphical display of your network.

Using this I have confirmed that my INNR plugs work as routers. Having relocated one of the INNR plugs, I reset one of my temperature sensors that was in close proximity and I can now see that the sensor is routing back to the controller via the plug.


Cheers. This has confirmed my router has included but says failed and isn't used. I'll need to investigate some more.

Also I have changed to do zigbee2mqtt/aqaratemp/room_name. I then have aqaravibration and aqarabutton etc.

Therefore only need one trigger per aqara type.


OK - I will try and get my head around this and give it a whirl in due course. :)

I really think that's the best way to go.
