I am running a rasperry pi with openhab system and I am struggling getting X to work since months. That means I currently have no chance to get the deconz gui working, neither on the device itself, nor by vnc connection.
For today, I’d like to add a device (a “frient keypad”), which needs an own and/or a bronze ddf file.
I testet the behaviour with deconz-gui on my windows computer and the device was sucessfully linked to the DDF file.
Is there any possibility to achieve the same on my rasperry but without the gui?
Hmm I can’t successfully join the device. There’s probably no alternative to the GUI to check if the device recognized and linked to the ddf file?
I put the file into the devices folder and tried joining over the phoscon Web app (searching for new devices…). Seems like without the GUI, further analysis is difficult?
Do you know if settings from the deconz GUI are also part of the backup file I can create over the phoscon Web app?

Try restarting deconz, deconz scan folder at start, so if the file was added after, missed.
You are sure your device ahve good modelID/manufacture name ?
I made some progress now. 1st my Xorg desktop is working finally with vnc, 2nd I was able to start deconz-gui and 3rd, the frient keypad device is visible and connected now.
1st milestone reached.
Now I’ll try to play a little bit with the REST API. Never did that, so there might be questions arising.
There’s a good youtube video, but in danish language regarding the frient keypad. Will give it try now!
