Unable to discover through Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant

[timothe]

Description

I flashed my Neos Smartcam with success. I can confirm I have access to the Web UI, SSH, and I can see the camera with its stream in Home Assistant, using the Generic IP Camera integration.

I want to be able to get all the sensors and actions in HA, as illustrated in the HA guide:

I have other Zigbee devices (switches) detected through the MQTT moquitto broker and Zigbee2MQTT. This is 100% working.

There's no discovery / pairing for the camera. My switches were detected after I permitted devices in Zigbee2MQTT. I can't find the camera and all its sensors. I would like to use it to create automation on motion detection, etc.

Debugging this issue could help improving the documentation.

What did you do to debug the issue

• I modified the dafang config to connect to my local HA server, homeassistant.local. I also tried core-mosquitto, as it's used by Zigbee2MQTT
• I restarted the dafang camera, got it off and on again, restarted services
• I restarted HA, checked the config, user access

Evidence

There's no trace of connection, successful or not, in the logs.

Same problem/ Can't connect to MQTT

I solved that issue by doing the below (not sure which one was missing tbh):

• put the user credentials directly in the yaml of the mosquitto broker
• added listener: 1883
• added allow_anonymous: true
• changed the host for the IP address of the VM

Hope that will help someone!
