What is ConBee II?
This Docker image packages deCONZ to run a Zigbee gateway with ConBee and RaspBee USB adapters. It provides the Phoscon web interface for managing devices, REST and WebSocket APIs for external integration, and optional VNC or noVNC access to view the mesh network. The image supports amd64, arm/v7, and arm64 platforms. All settings are controlled through environment variables covering device paths, port numbers, baud rates, and debug flags. Deployment uses Docker or Docker Compose.
