Migrate in ZHA from Conbee II USB dongle to SLZB-06N (ethernet) not working?

Configuration

Hi,
I am trying to migrate in ZHA from Conbee II USB dongle to SLZB-06N (ethernet).
I follow the steps from the migrate command but after I finish my zigbee devices don’t seem to be reachable anymore.

Did anyone try this?
Some additional questions:

  1. How big does the backup file needs to be: Mine is only 47 lines which seems to be quite small?
    Starting with:
    {
    “version”: 1,
    “backup_time”: “2024-01-11T10:46:38.050429+00:00”,
    “network_info”: {
    and ending with
    “logical_type”: “coordinator”,
    “model”: “Conbee II”,
    “manufacturer”: “dresden elektronik”,
    “version”: “0x26780700”
    }

  2. there is a note that Conbee II firmware needs to be 26720700 or higher. Since I’m at 0x26780700 I should be fine, no? (latest conbee II firmware I could find).

Any luck?

Hi,
U did a successfull migration by:

  • Taking a manual backup of the zha config first
  • Then I used this manual backup when asked which backup to use during the migration steps
  • After the migration, make sure to remove power from ALL zha routers you have in your zigbee network for about 10-20 seconds. (by unplugging them or turning off the surge protector).

After that, things worked for me.

Hi Diether,

Unfortunately i lost al the device names when i restored the backup.
Did you find a solution for that?

Hi,
Not sure what you mean here:
I did the following

ZHA → Configure → download backup (in network settings)
Then I did the ‘migrate radio’ & as part of these steps I restored the manual zha network settings backup when asked to do so.
As a last step I removed power (by switching the circuit breaker) for all powered zigbee routers in my network for about 10 seconds.

Hi, to which migrate command do you refer? I want to buy one slbz, but I’m afraid of the amount of devices I have (75…).

can you post the link to the command please?

Under your ZHA zigbee coordinator there is a button ‘Configure’. When you click on it, there is a button ‘network settings’.
In there, you can find an option ‘download backup’ , and ‘Migrate Radio’.
Perform a ‘download backup’ before you attempt ‘migrate radio’.
(During the migrate, you can load the manual backup if the migrate doesn’t work as planned).

Lastly, in my case (with my coordinator) I needed to remove the power (I used the circuit breaker) to my powered zigbee devices to make them latch onto the migrated network.

Today I tried the same: Migrate the Coordinator from Conbee II (via ZHA) to SLZB-06M (on LAN).
ConBee is at: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2197441-if00
I did NOT change the IEEE on the SLZB-06M because it only can be changed once (according to the manual) and therefore I cannot use the ConBee II anymore (because they have the same IEEE then).

Migration steps I did were:

  • Did a full backup
  • Did a snapshot (under ESXi)
  • Under ZHA click configure
  • click migrate radio
  • (ZHA needs to stop)
  • Migrate to new radio
  • Select a new serial port: Enter manually
  • choose new radio type: EZSP
  • enter manual new connection: socket://192.168.x.x:6638 (so choose the radio that is connected via LAN instead of USB)
  • Restore automatic backup
  • Choose the latest automatic backup from the list
  • Waited some time and HA said all was well.

But my network is not responding. Did I do something wrong? Any tips
