Good evening everyone!  
During a quick trip to mainland France, I picked up a zigate v2 usb dongle… and then discovered that there were some issues with zigbee2mqtt… Specifically, the following parameter needs to be added to the configuration.yaml file:

 ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a4aed5ef244100ee45a857bf32dbf88c515b87e0.png)

Problem is, I don’t know how the configuration.yaml file is generated during integration and whether it can be modified directly via docker cp for example?  
Thanks for your feedback!  
Hervé

Hello,

The file is by default in `/var/lib/gladysassistant/zigbee2mqtt/z2m`.  
It is mounted from the RaspberryPi to the **gladys-z2m-zigbee2mqtt** docker container.  
You can modify it and then restart the container, it should work.

Good evening,  
Nothing to do… 😏  
Before I had the connection error mentioned in my previous message, now it tells me it cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0.

Hello @Herve  
have you been able to solve your issue with the Zigate?

Hello @NilkOne,  
Unfortunately not, I finally gave up… I was hoping for a firmware update, I tried everything I could read on the internet, nothing to do.  
When I saw the Domadoo offer at €9.9 in December, I ordered the Sonoff dongle, I did a clean reinstall, and now it’s perfect!!!

Hi,  
I had the same problem on Docker and the errors disappeared with this config:

```auto
serial:
  port: /dev/ttyUSB0
  adapter: zigate

```

the same errors are still present on Z2M in the Home Assistant add-on
