Last night, I paired 30 zigbee devices to Zigbee2MQQT running on HomeAssistant on Raspberry Pi5. This is a clean HA install (latest version) with only Mosquito broker and Zigbee2MQQT installed. Device pairing went well, and I gave all devices a friendly name. HomeAssistant also recognised the new devices and added a lovelace card. Once done, I made a back-up of the entire system (only 0.8mb) and shut it down. This morning, when rebooting I noticed that the entire device list is empty. Also, Home Assistant cards show all devices as offline.
I also tried to restore the backup but to no avail. It almost looks as if the device list was not stored. The coordinator (Sonoff Dongle E) works well. After repairing a device and rebooting, also that device is now gone. To me, this suggests the device list is not saved.
In the file editor I see that the timestamp of the /homeassistant/zigbee2mqqt/coordinator_backup.json remains unchanged to the moment I installed the add-on.
Yesterday evening, I had set the file path (in the config file of Zigbee2mqqt) to “/zigbee2mqqt” . I now changed this to “/homeassistant/zigbee2mqqt” but both do not seem to work.
See below log file. Can anyone help, also is there a change the data is saved somewhere else in HomeAssistant?
