I had HA running upon a tiny 4 inch square Windows PC with the above Zigbee adaptor but the tiny PC died probably 9 months ago. With a little spare time and an RP5 sitting in a box I thought I’d start afresh. If I were lucky I’d install HA on the Pi and the two or tree sensors paired with the Sonoff would still be paired - fingers crossed.
I created a brand new SD from the Raspberry imager on a Win PC, slotted into the New RP5, great all very quick and easy, powered up and went through the initial config, no problem.
I then plugged in the Sonoff Zigbee stick, new device detected and went to configure and rcvd “failed to probe the USB device” within HA.
On the RP HDMI output I can see “cp210x ttyUSB0: failed set request 0x12 status: -110”
Went back to a raspi OS and updated the firmware as the Pi is one year old but never used.
Re-wrote the HA SD card.
Plugged in the Sonoff Zigbee before power up this time, and ran through the initial setup, on going to devices the Sonoff Zigbee is not there and the HDMI output of the PI has the same USB error. So it was found at intial startup and failed then.
Tried all the USB ports, rewritten and verified the SD. Just can’t use my Zigbee dongle that itself was working up to the original host dying.
Nope does not sound stupid. I am currently having the same issue “Failed to probe usb device” when connecting a sonoff zigbee usb 3.0 plus adapter to my raspberry 5. My guess is it may be some weird bug with the rpi5 and HA OS.
What I have tried .
I have tried flashing the firmware on the adapter.
I have tried restarting the os.
I have checked for updates
I have tryed to add the device by searching for the zeebee integration. It sees the device and name and port. I have tried using all of the baud rates. When choosing the device.
I have rpi4 sitting around i may go ahead and install it on there are see what it does.

If I start the Pi without the Sonoff plugged in, HA finds it quite quickly once inserted into the Pi’s USB.
If I then ask HA to ADD the Sonoff device, it reports…
… well I never! I’ve just retraced my steps to type this message and it has installed the device and found the two sensors it had been setup with 9 months ago. The only difference is I plugged in the Sonoff device and was called away for a coupe of hours before I could ask HA to add it.
