Error while starting zigbee-herdsman Failed to start zigbee

Configuration Zigbee
124

Your problem is that you need to add

adapter: ezsp

in the serial box

Though you probably instead want to update the firmware to 7.4.x so you can use ember: EmberZNet adapters (Silicon Labs) | Zigbee2MQTT

thanks for your reply Tinkerer,
I have already tried having adapter: ezsp, which returns a different error

I’ll have a look at updating the firmware

126

I followed the recommended firmware for the Sonoff ZBDongle-E (V2 model, EFR32MG21), which is: ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.1.0-zbdonglee-115200. I installed it using the Silabs Firmware Flasher, and everything was fine up to this point. I connected it to the Raspberry Pi, and initially, it updated the data for the two Aqara humidity sensors twice, but then it stopped. This keeps happening repeatedly; it loses communication and is not stable at all.

Here are the logs:

See in comparison with a Xiaomi Bluetooth sensor how unstable the two Aqara Zigbee sensors are. They only refreshed 3 times.

I should mention that I was getting these errors when the server was set to mqtt://core-mosquitto:1883. Despite the errors, it had updated the sensors’ data twice before stopping. When I used my IP address, it just stayed at “Starting Zigbee2MQTT without watchdog,” but it only updated the sensors’ data once and then did nothing more.

All I want is to get the temperature data every 3 minutes. Is it that difficult?

Didn’t scroll through the whole topic now, but I had the exact same problem. After pluging in the stick I installed the zha device. That was my problem. I deleted it again and then the error was gone and it started.

I have a working ZHA instance using a USB dongle, silicon chpset, version E (not the most recent one, the P).
I got a skyconnect and added it on the same system, it is recognised as hardware.
I want to run M2Q on it. However I am stuck at the same place

any ideas how to fix that in my specific case?
I tried generic advice I picked in fora as much as I could, to no result

You also need to add adapter: ember as shown at EmberZNet adapters (Silicon Labs) | Zigbee2MQTT

131

So, whoever had this issue, go and check the config file (/homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml) with file explorer/vscode extention.
It looks like for some reason, configuration entered in the plugin UI is not actually saved in config file, thus it keeps failing because it constantly starts with wrong/initial configuration.
At least thats what happened in my case.

It works, only
