Versioning

The snap version consists of the zigbee2mqtt release tag and an additional ascending number (e.g. 0.15.0-1).

Installation

Install from The Snap Store

Make sure you have snapd installed on your system. See Installing snapd for a list of distributions with and without snap pre-installed, including installation instructions for those that have not.

$ snap install janlochi-zigbee2mqtt

Setup

It's required to manually connect the serial port to the snap and enable the experimental hotplug support in snapd (at least 2.39). For additional information see Hotplug support | Snapcraft documentation.

$ snap set system experimental.hotplug=true
$ systemctl restart snapd.service
$ # one of the following commands
$ snap connect janlochi-zigbee2mqtt:serial-port core:usb20-serial 
$ snap connect janlochi-zigbee2mqtt:serial-port snapd:usb20-serial
$ snap connect janlochi-zigbee2mqtt:serial-port snapd:usbserial

Configuration

The configuration.yaml is located in /var/snap/janlochi-zigbee2mqtt/current and initially populated with a default configuration suitable for the snap.

Consider using /dev/serial/by-id/.... instead of /dev/ttyUSB0.

Use snap restart janlochi-zigbee2mqtt after editing the yaml file.
