[Solved] Pimatic and Raspbee (deCONZ) on same Raspberry Pi

---

Hi,

I’m still having a problem with running Pimatic and the software deCONZ in parallel on the same raspberry. I can force pimatic to start if if wait until the start up of pimatic has been fully accomplished. But that’s very annoying because the pimatic plugins pimatic-hue-zll and pimatic-raspbee can’t find the Raspbee modul and I have to pair the plugins again to the raspbee modul after starting the deCONZ software.

So perhaps somebody of you guys can help me solving this problem…

If the deCONZ service is started with following settings

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status deconz
● deconz.service - deCONZ: ZigBee gateway -- REST API
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/deconz.service; disabled)
  Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/deconz.service.d

   Active: active (running) since Mi 2018-07-25 02:47:07 CEST; 4 days ago
 Main PID: 32480 (deCONZ)
   CGroup: /system.slice/deconz.service
           └─32480 /usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --http-port=8080 --ws-port=8088 --http-listen=192.168.2.100

Jul 25 02:47:08 raspberrypi deCONZ[32480]: This plugin does not support propagateSizeHints()

pimatic is showing the following errors while starting:

18:06:05.050 [pimatic] error: An uncaught exception occurred: Error: bind EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:1900

18:06:05.050 [pimatic] error:> This is most probably a bug in pimatic or in a module, please report it!
18:06:05.055 [pimatic] info: exiting...

I have tried so many differnt things but I’m out of ideas right now. I guess the problem is about the two webservers, but I don’t know how to solve this. Does somebody have an idea?

Thank you.

The problem can be solved by disabling the upnp option of deCONZ or maybe also by pimatic.

For me starting deCONZ with the following options solved the problem.

deCONZ --upnp=0

@fabian Do you have pimatic-upnp installed?

@mwittig yes, your right. I have the upnp plugin installed and running on port 8008. I have never though it will be a problem. I don’t know if I ever have used it or it has been a benefit… So probably the problem with the parallel running software deCONZ can also be solved by disabling the upnp plugin of pimatic.

I know this topic is older, but I have maybe an useful info for everyone who runs NGNIX, Deconz and Pimaitc on the same Device without using Docker.

I had problems to get Deconz (port 1235) running together with NGNIX (port 80). The NGNIX service gets always abourted.
I disabled the autostart of both services. Now I am starting first NGNIX via pimatic rule during pimatic is starting. The same for Deconz, but with a 5s delay.
With this config i was able to run everything together on one Raspberry.

BTW to make Deconz running on an other port I have changed the port config in following file: /lib/systemd/system/deconz.service

The change of /etc/systemd/system/deconz-gui.service.d/local.conf doesn’t work for me.
