New YouTube video: Using Zigbee with Gladys and a Zigbee USB key

Hello everyone!

First video of 2022, today I’m talking to you about Zigbee via a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB key bought for 11€.

For me, Zigbee is the protocol that is growing the most, with 1937 devices compatible with Zigbee2mqtt, and thus compatible with Gladys.

The video is available on YouTube here:

I count on you to leave a comment under the YouTube video, it really has an effect on the video’s referencing :folded_hands:

Just a small remark. This is not entirely true, as some devices are not compatible with the core models of Gladys (like multi-button devices) such as this one ADEO HR-C99C-Z-C045 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT
Or exotic peripherals like this one RTX ZVG1 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT

Indeed well spotted, some exotic devices are not fully managed by Gladys, an adaptation will be needed :slight_smile:

Some less exotic ones like thermostatic radiator valves.
Some features don’t exist yet, but overall it’s very functional and I use it every day :+1:

Thanks for this video :pray: Lots of projects in perspective with Gladys and Zigbee :blush:

I just noticed that there’s a -25% promotion on Domadoo for the Sonoff Zigbee dongle from the video, at €8.99 (with the sales) →

I also take this opportunity to say that Gladys is now a Domadoo partner, and that if you order from Domadoo through these links, the project receives a commission :slight_smile:

I’m also in discussions with Domadoo to see about writing articles for their blog, which could bring in more people!

Great :tada: Well done for this work!

This is where I ordered all my radiator thermostatic heads (well, controlled with Zigbee2Mqtt and Red for now :sweat_smile:) and the price is far from being as expensive as on other sites. Not to mention that the delivery was faster than Amazon Prime!!

I ordered 2 this morning :grinning:

@pierre-gilles is it the domid=17 to add in the url?

I will soon take that

@VonOx Yes it’s the ?domid=17 in the URL :slight_smile:

If you buy from them, go through a link first :wink:

It’s true that they are very fast, a French brand, and prices not necessarily overpriced. I’m happy to be able to support this kind of supplier :slight_smile:

:+1:, order placed. Thanks for this very good tutorial and great deal.

I would be interested in your feedback once you’ve integrated it into Gladys :slight_smile:

Same thing with an additional SONOFF - Connected Micro Switch Module and a SONOFF - Wireless Switch

In the end, there is a promo package with the sales, I made a compilation of what seems most interesting to me:

I will send this list tonight in the Gladys newsletter, if you see other interesting promos I will add them to the newsletter as well! :slight_smile:

However, how do we link it to Gladys when Gladys is in a docker under NUC? I couldn’t find it!

It’s not different from a Pi :slight_smile:

You just need to make sure your Docker container has the USB port exposed inside.

If you use the Docker command from the Gladys documentation:

This is the case (-v /dev:/dev \)

Hello @pierre-gilles,
I use yatch to manage containers but I don’t see where this is configured?

I didn’t know Yacht, but in the documentation it’s the « volumes » part of the JSON:

https://yacht.sh/docs/Templates/Templates

That’s the problem with the name of this thing, it’s the Google search for it! :roll_eyes:

Sinon you can just deploy your containers directly, that’s fine too ^^
