Deconz 8.x Add-On Websocket Error after a couple of Minutes

After updating the Deconz add-on from 7.0 to 8.0/8.1/8.2 my Zigbee devices are working fine for just a couple of minutes. Then they stopped working. All connections are lost. Same for the Phoscon App which won’t start after a couple of minutes.

Looking in the logs there are web socket errors for Deconz:

Restoring to version 7.0 of the Deconz add-on and everything runs fine like before…

I am running Home Assistant OS 2025.5.1 on X86. The problems also exists unter 2025.4.4.

Does anyone has an idea how to solve this?

Can you please also provide logs from the add-on version 8.2.0. Note after installing ideally restart as well (I’m not sure why this is needed but there was recently a case where it helped).

The add-on configuration.yml needs to enable logging for info and aps

device: >-
  /dev/serial/by-id/...<your-device>
dbg_info: 1
dbg_aps: 2

Then in the Logs tab we should see more what is going.
It looks a bit like a crash or freeze of application, 8.2.0 had a fix for a freeze so I wonder whats happening.

Hi manup,

I wasn’t really at home so it took me a while to look into it again. So the problem still remains, after a restart too…

I checked the log for the Deconz add-on and after about 1 minute there are no more entries. So it seemed stopped working. Before there are no errors accept every 10 seconds:

19:50:57:893 invalid mac address 0x0000000000000000

I couldn’t get the correct syntax for the additional logging in the configuration.yaml. There should be a “logger:” in the beginning, but I am missing something. Could you help me with the syntax?
