Click on the "INSTALL" button. + +## How to use + +### Using a RaspBee + +If you are using RaspBee, you may need to edit the `config.txt` file in the root +of your SD card in order for your RaspBee to be recognized and assigned a device name. + +Add following to your `config.txt`: + +```txt +enable_uart=1 +dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt +``` + +### Configure the add-on + +The add-on needs to know where your ConBee/RaspBee can be found, and therefore, +you'll need to configure the add-on to point to the right device. + +If you're using Home Assistant you may find the correct value for this on the +`Supervisor -> System -> Host system -> Hardware` page. It is recommended +to use a "by-id" path to the device if one exists, as it is not subject to +change if other devices are added to the system. + +1. Replace `null` in the `device` option in the add-on configuration and specify + the device name in quotes: e.g. something like + `"/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_XXXXXXXX-if00"`, + `"/dev/ttyUSB0"`, `"/dev/ttyAMA0"`, or `"/dev/ttyACM0"`. +2. Click on "SAVE" to save the add-on configuration. +3. Toggle the "Show in sidebar" to add it to your Home Assistant side bar. +4. Start the add-on. + +After installing and starting this add-on, access the deCONZ WebUI ("Phoscon") +with "WEB UI" button. + +## Configuring the Home Assistant deCONZ integration + +By default, Home Assistant has the `discovery` integration enabled, which +automatically discovers this add-on. + +Navigate to **Configuration** -> **Integrations** page after starting this +add-on to configure the deCONZ integration. + +In case you don't have `discovery` enabled on your Home Assistant instance, +follow these instructions to configure the deCONZ integration: + + + +## Migrating to this Add-on + +To migrate deCONZ to Home Assistant and this add-on, backup your deCONZ config via the +Phoscon WebUI, then restore that config after installing/reinstalling. + +**_You must perform these steps or your Light, Group names and other data will be lost!_** + +However, your Zigbee devices will still paired to your ConBee or RaspBee hardware. + +## Accessing the deCONZ application and viewing the mesh via VNC + +The add-on allows you to access the underlying deCONZ application running on +a remote desktop via VNC. It allows you to view the Zigbee mesh (which can +be really helpful when debugging network issues), but also gives you access +to tons of advanced features. + +To enable it: + +- Set a port number for VNC in the "Network" configuration section of the + add-on and hit "SAVE". Advised is to use port 5900, but any other port above + 5900 works as well. +- Set a VNC password in the add-on configuration and hit "SAVE". +- Restart the add-on. + +To access it, you need a [VNC Viewer][vnc-viewer] application. If you are using +macOS, you are in luck, since VNC is built-in. Open the spotlight search and +enter the VNC service URL. + +The VNC service URL looks like [vnc://homeassistant.local:5900](vnc-service-url). +Adjust port and possibly hostname if you've changed it in Home Assistant host system +settings. + +## Upgrading RaspBee and ConBee firmware + +This add-on allows you to upgrade your firmware straight from the Phoscon +web interface with ease. + +Go to "Settings -> Gateway" and click the upgrade button. + +However, some USB sticks (like the Aeotec Z-Wave sticks), can interfere with +the upgrade process, causing the firmware upgrade to fail silently. If you end +up with the same firmware version as before you started the upgrade, consider +unplugging the other sticks and try again. + +If that is still not working, try [upgrading the firmware manually][manual-upgrade]. + +## Using the deCONZ/Phoscon API with another add-on + +Some add-ons are capable of consuming the deCONZ API directly. Node-RED is +one of those applications, that is available as an add-on, that can +consume the deCONZ API using the `node-red-contrib-deconz` node. + +**WARNING** Do not use the following settings to set up a integration manually +from within Home Assistant! + +To allow these add-ons to connect to deCONZ, use the following settings: + +- **Host**: `core-deconz` +- **(API) Port**: `40850` +- **WebSocket Port**: `8081` + +_Please note: the above settings are likely to change in a future update +of this add-on._ + +## Advanced debug output control + +Hidden controls are added to the add-on to allow control over the debug +output of deCONZ.

Backup you deCONZ data, by going into the Web UI, from the menu choose: + **Settings** -> **Gateway** -> **Backup Option** button, next create + a new backup and download it onto your computer. +2.
