Zigbee2MQTT docker on ihost

eWeLink CUBE
1

Hello,
I’m trying to install the Zigbee2MQTT docker image on ihost but I’m getting an error after the installation.
Honestly I’m not a docker expert and maybe I’m doing something wrong when inserting the parameters in the iHost web interface.
Should someone point me to a tutorial about how to install zigbee2mqtt on iHost?
Thanks

MQTT2CUBE vs zigbee2mqt ?

What’s the difference, sorry for the layman’s question.

The MQTT2CUBE add-on is only for tasmota devices.

The MQTT2CUBE add-on allows you to add your Tasmota devices to eWeLink CUBE (iHost).
Zigbee2MQTT focuses on protocol conversion, while Tasmota is firmware enhancement.

Do you have an MQTT broker set up to direct the Zigbee2MQTT at? I don’t have Zigbee2MQTT on my iHost but I do have it installed as an “add-on” in Home Assistant.

is this all within ihost?

I don’t but I’ve previously installed an MQTT broker (mosquito) on the iHost in a docker after changing the default port. I don’t use it as I have an MQTT broker elsewhere but tested to see if it was possible. My Zigbee2MQTT is elsewhere but if you add a Zigbee stick to the USB port at the back I’m pretty sure you can set up a second zigbee network.

If you want to instal Zigbee2MQTT you do need an MQTT broker somewhere for it to talk to. If you’ve got an always on computer somewhere else you could use that to run the broker. Pretty sure the guide on installing the Tasmota2mqtt docker says how to instal an MQTT broker.
