Installation
The deCONZ application is a tool to configure, control and monitor Zigbee networks with the ConBee.
The following sections describe the installation steps of deCONZ for various platforms.
Supported platforms
Connection
The RaspBee must be placed on the Raspberry Pi header as follows:
Important: The RaspBee must not be placed in an offset position, as this will damage the module!
Raspbian
Supported Raspberry Pi models and distributions
- Raspberry Pi (all models, except Pico)
- Raspberry Pi OS
Note
The following steps describe the manual installation of deCONZ. Alternatively a preinstalled SD-card image can be used.
