Recently I discovered that when I go to host shutdown in HA, next time I turn on the system all entities from conbee 2 are unavailable in the system. This is fixed by restarting HA and once restarted they show again. The whole time though they are visible in conbee 2 (phoscon for example).
Has anyone else experienced this?
Do you see any errors in the log?
Thank you for your reply. I can not find any errors in the log (but my log reading experience is limited).
Have you waited long enough to see if they back online on their own? for me it often takes a few minutes, could be longer for battery operated devices. I suspect the Conbee is waiting for them to send their state to Deconz. You mention you can see tem in Phoscon, are they grey there or black?
I have another experience by the way, for which I reported a bug - If I restart HA (with lots of integrations) the deconz integration isn’t fully up and running yet when the automations get loaded. This results in triggers for buttons not being activated. I worked around this for now with an automation to reload the automations a minute after startup.
I’m amazed how people take time time to answer!
I have waited quite a while after I turned on HA again but all entities remain unavailable, battery powered and mains powered. If I restart HA then all entities become available again, almost immediately.
It does sound like a similar problem to mine. I think you should post a bug report in Home assistant as well, I think that may spike the developer in question to realize there’s something not quite right in the iniatialization process.
Come to think of it, I may have faced similar problems as you have. Only the first time after some tinkering I did not know what fixed it and the second time waiting fixed it, so I blamed my impatience. But the tinkering the first time was way too long to be the same, on second thought.
Thank you. Where can I post the bug report?
That’ll probably depend on what integration you use to drive your conbee stick. ZHA? Zigbee2mqtt? Something else?
As you mentioned Phoscon, I assumed you used the official Deconz addon like me. You can report issues for that trough github here: Sign in to GitHub · GitHub
Yes, the official deconz. Thank you for pointing me to the right place for the reporting.
