Zigbee2mqtt dongle

[tuedler]

Hello,
a few days ago i made my first steps with FreeNAS (version 11.2-U4.1) and stet up my private storage solution.
The storage solution is working fine but now i want to set-up my smart home control (iobroker combined with zigbee2mqtt) on the same machine.
Now i have a problem with the detection of the cc2531 usb dongle.
I flashed the new firmware on the cc2531 and tested it on a raspberry pi.
The raspberry detects the device and under /dev a ttyACM0 appears.
After it i plugged the device in my FreeNAS machine and under /dev no ttyACM0 or another device appears.
I thing it is a missing kernel driver for the device support.
How can i find out which driver is missing and how can i load it at my FreeNAS?
Here the output of the dmesg:

Code:

ugen0.2: <Texas Instruments TI CC2531 USB CDC> at usbus0
umodem0 on uhub0
umodem0: <Texas Instruments TI CC2531 USB CDC, class 2/0, rev 2.00/0.09, addr 1> on usbus0
umodem0: data interface 1, has no CM over data, has no break

and the output of the usbconfig:

Code:

ugen0.1: <0x8086 XHCI root HUB> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen0.2: <Texas Instruments TI CC2531 USB CDC> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (50mA)

Was the pi running FreeBSD or another OS?

Why do you want to run the control from your FreeNAS system?

Hi tuedler,

I am also very interested in plug a cc2531 usb dongle to my Freenas and install zigbee2mqtt in my Home Assistant jail and begin to add zigbee devices without propietary gateways.

As i understand in your post, the cc2531 is seen as ugen0.2 and that's the device name that's needs to be passtrought to the jail or docker. Right?. Could you please give me a feedback about the process?. It's possible? Very complicated?.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Ok. I have zigbee2mqtt working in my FreeNAS-11.2-U5.

For zigbee2mqtt software:

pkg install node10-10.16.0
pkg install npm-node10-6.9.0_2
pkg install git
pkg install gcc
git clone https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.git /opt/zigbee2mqtt
cd /opt/zigbee2mqtt
npm install

For the hardware follow steps in "Using a USB Z-Wave or Zigbee controller" section from this great post:

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for that question but I am new to this community. I am searching for the conent behind the link https://www.ixsystems.com/community...ode-red-mosquitto-amazon-dash-tasmoadmin.102/ .
It tells me that "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.". How do I get the permission or even the content behind that link?

But is there anybody that can tell me how to set up TrueNAS in order to find the CC2531 usb dongle? My hope was that this link gives further information.

My problem is that dmesg tells

Code:

ugen0.2: <Texas Instruments CC2531 USB Dongle> at usbus0

and I cannot find something like /dev/ttyACM0 which seems to be neccessary that zigbee2mqtt can access the dongle, as I understood.

Hi, did some one found a solution? I have the same problem like markai and tuedler.

I don't have one of those dongles to tell you if it should show up with a TTY interface or not in FreeBSD.

What I can suggest is looking into the devfs_ruleset you need to allow the USB device(s) to pass into the jail.

By default, a jail will be using devfs_ruleset 4 (which won't allow /dev to pass inside the jail)

You could change it to something more open like 2 and see how that goes.

If that works, you may want to investigate using a custom ruleset and only allowing the needed devices and not just everything as will be the case with 2.

Best of luck with it.
