Import existing zigbee2mqtt configuration

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know whether it is possible to import the configuration.yaml file from my existing zigbee2mqtt into Gladys’ configuration file, while of course adapting the various values currently set for Gladys?

The goal is to avoid re-pairing all my modules :slight_smile:

Thanks :wink:

I’ll answer myself:

Yes, it’s possible by copying the following files to the location (/var/lib/gladysassistant/zigbee2mqtt/z2m)

configuration.yaml
coordinator_backup.json
m/database.db

Quick question: does the configuration.yaml file get modified by Gladys once everything is in place?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Exactly :slight_smile:

If you don’t touch the interface, normally no, especially if you’re touching information not modified by Gladys :wink: (basically: anything outside username/password/path of the dongle)

You can also separate devices into a devices.yaml file and that way you only have to change that file.

In /gladysassistant/zigbe2mqtt/z2m/configuration.yaml you need to add

devices: devices.yaml

And then you need to add a devices.yaml file

Ok thanks for the advice, for now that’s fine with me :slight_smile:
