Hello there,
today I finally got my Conbee 2 Stick in the mail.
I want to use it with Homebridge.
I started from scratch and flashed a new SD card with the newest Homebridge Raspberry Pi image.
After that I installed the VNC Server tool and also installed deCONZ.
I worked my through the official documentation for the ConBee Installation for Raspbian.

I encounter two problems (they might be the same after all):
- When I connect to my Raspberry via VNC I can’t start deCONZ. Just nothing happens.
- When I enter the URL Phoscon App - Login into my browser, it looks and looks for gateways but can’t find any.
But the Stick itself can be found.

Is there a way to check if the Stick is corrupted or so? I really have no idea what problem Ive run into.
https: //phoscon .de/discover shows just “[]”
Thanks in advance!
