2026.2.3 Broky my Zigbee2mqtt Network - SONOFF ZBDogle-P

Configuration Zigbee
1

Updated to 2026.2.3 today and it broke my Zigbee network disable my 3 SONOFF ZBDongle-P Routers. (one main connected to USB, the others are extentions)

Been working for years and suddenly this comes in and break the system :frowning_with_open_mouth:
Reverted back to 2026.2.2 and they are all working again.

Raspberry Pi 4
Regular OS setup
Connected to USB 2 port (long cable)
Sonoff ZBDongle-P with a special flash.

Again, been working for years. What is killing this off in 2026.2.3. Find this weird. Would be more obvious if 2026.2 would break itā€¦

What does the logs say? For what itā€™s worth, my Z2M network is fine running on 2026.2.3.

Not likely.
More likely your SD card failed when you updated. If you are using a machine that uses an SD card, updates where a lot of files are removed and installed is a very stressful time and the time when SD cards are most likely to fail. I would check that. How to Troubleshoot Raspberry Pi Crashing

Whatā€™s ā€œspecialā€ about it?

EDIT: Saw your other post in a different thread about multiprotocol breaking in 2026.2.3.

HA devs have been warning for at least 2 years that multiprotocol is highly unstable and should not be used. They explicitly said it was unsupported.

Sonoff thought they knew better & released multiprotocol despite the warnings, claiming that it was now stable enough. I suggest you direct your frustration at Sonoff instead of these forums, because right now this is all I can picture:

I am not using an SD card. Harddrive. And it make no sence why this would break when going from 2026.2 to 2026.3

Does an HA restart clear it?

Donald T special. A very beautiful flash, the most beautiful flash ever seen.

No maybe not special but I do remember that it was pretty much hard work to get it up running. Flashing all three dongles took time.

Cant remember anything about multiprotocolā€¦ or exectly where I got it. Iā€™ll have to try to find out.

However what was so bad about it if it worked for over 4 years?
What do you recommend to use instead? What is available?

I didnā€™t realize you were the same personā€¦ What ShadowFist said, for sure.

Please donā€™t keep asking until you get an answer you like. Thatā€™s what the AI LLMā€™s are for.

And post this into a search engineā€¦:
