deCONZ - Official thread

I saw your other more detailed report Deconz Color change not reflected in HA UI

What bulb is it? Without knowing all details it sounds as if signaling is broken for that device in some way

Hi, thanks for the reply. Its multiple devices but most of them are HUE Bulbs.

So you have the issue with multiple bulbs? Or all bulbs?

And its only when changing color, or with any state change?

How are you hosting and running deconz?

My integration has stopped working again, with the same crashing on startup issue as before.

Phoscon.de is also down, funnily enough. Anyone else having the issue again?

Yes, I’m having the same issue. This is no coincidence. I’m moving away from Conbee ASAP now, I can’t have my lights and heating relying on the availability of a website.

Strange, all working fine for me. This was also the case when this was last mentioned. Feels like there must be something else going on here.

Is the error on deconz or integration? Can you share logs?

It’s the deConz add-on that is crashing. This is what I get in the logs. The integration actually runs for a couple of minutes when it first starts up, but then it dies. It seems to fail when it starts the VNC server, but there doesn’t seem to be any way of disabling that,

Thanks I’ve reported it to Deconz devs

System is up again. Everyone affected by the service being down are you running the deConz addon?

I still don’t understand how this can happen, reviewed the code in deCONZ many times. As a workaround the query to the discovery server can be disabled in the Phoscon App > Menu > Gateway Settings page.
One thing I wonder, are there reports of this for setups which don’t use the HA add-on?

Yep, working again now coinciding with phoscon.de being back. Had to start the addon manually.

Definitely weird behaviour. It not only refuses to start when phoscon.de is down, but it must be shutting down in the middle of normal operation when the site goes down. My log is identical to the one posted by grebble.

To try and gain some clarity I blocked my home assistant server from accessing the internet at all via my router, and deconz started up normally. Here’s the relevant bit of the log during this entirely local startup:

[18:17:24] INFO: Websockify waiting for VNC to start
[18:17:24] INFO: Running the deCONZ OTA updater...
[18:17:24] INFO: Running the IKEA OTA updater...
[18:17:24] INFO: Running the OSRAM LEdvance OTA updater...
[18:17:24] INFO: Can't fetch data from osram!
[18:17:25] INFO: Starting VNC server (local/yes)...
[18:17:25] INFO: Starting websockify...
WebSocket server settings:

  - Flash security policy server
  - Web server. Web root: /usr/share/novnc
  - No SSL/TLS support (no cert file)
  - proxying from 127.0.0.1:5901 to 127.0.0.1:5900
[18:17:28] INFO: deCONZ waiting for VNC to start
[18:17:28] INFO: Starting the deCONZ gateway...

So the problem must be ocurring after the “Starting VNC server (local/yes)” entry, because when phoscon.de is down this line is immediately followed by “WARNING: Halt add-on”.

Am i the only one who has problems with the latest update? (6.19.0)

Since the update my switches (aqara) take more time to react (light didnt turn on immediately)!
I reverted to 6.18.0 and have no problems. Strange…

No issues here so far. Hue, innr, Aquara and tint devices

No problems here - however from Aqara I only have a couple of temperature sensors, rest is from other brands.

It’s happened again…phoscon.de is down once more and down went my devices. I’ve now blocked phoscon.de from my router, restarted the add-on and it’s all fine. It’s going to stay that way now.

I have not experienced this at all. I run Deconz on a Debian machine with Deconz installed on “bare metal” with apt install (after having added the repo).

There must be something really silly done with the version installed as a Home Assistant Addon.

Well, I run deCONZ as add-on for few years already and never experienced this. It worked every single time the phoscon website was down recently.

Same, here. Running as an Add-on, no issues.

I have a problem with the deconz 6.19.0 update: All my IKEA Praktlysning shades stops responding and have disappeared from Phoscon. I’m not sure if other components are affected, but IKEA Tredansen still working.
After reverting to version 6.18.0 everything is working, but it takes a few minutes before the Praktlysning shades are back in business.

Hello all!

Better late than never… and another release of Home Assistant so here comes another release log on Phoscon forum for the HA deCONZ integration

Currently I’m focusing my work on UniFi and Axis integrations, thankfully this integration is pretty much rock solid with very few issues reported and not that many new things have warranted new additions recently. I’m looking at improving it with what improvements I do for my other integrations later on.

Here are the changes coming with Home Assistant 2023.5.0

Cheers!
