Using sticks and modules with Zigbee2MQTT

When using the recommended firmware, the Zigbee coordinator sticks and JetHome modules provide full operation with Zigbee2MQTT.

Note

Coordinator firmware is installed by default during production of sticks and modules.

The devices are immediately ready to work with Zigbee2MQTT.

Hint

Full installation and setup instructions: Zigbee2MQTT Getting started.

The following parameters must be set in the Zigbee2MQTT configuration file:

serial:
  port: <PORT>
  adapter: <ADAPTER>

advanced:
  rtscts: false

Where:

  • <PORT> - port to which the stick or module is connected.

    For example, /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0.

  • <ADAPTER> - the type of chip in the stick or module:

    • zstack for Texas Instruments CC2652/CC2538 (JetHome JetStick Z2, JetStick ZB6UX or ZB6C, ZB3CX modules)

    • ember for Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 (JetStick Z4 or ZB4C module)

  • The parameter rtscts: false disables hardware flow control for a given serial port. This parameter can be left blank, but make sure it is not set to true.

Hint

If the error NCP EZSP protocol version 8 does not match Host version 13 is received, it is necessary to update the chip firmware according to the instruction: Firmware modules and sticks on Silicon Labs chips.
