Moving zigbee2mqtt from standalone RPI3 to HA addon on RPI4

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi All
I’ve had zigbee2mqtt working on a standalone RPI 3 running Pi OS for ages but now that I have moved home assistant to a RPI4 I wanted to free up a bit of space in my network cupboard and mvoe zigbee2mqtt to be run on the RPI4 via the HA addon.

I got it installed and it all seemed to be working fine - devices were visible in the devices list (I coped my config from the old location to the new location) and I was getting messages in HA.

However some devices were not being seen. I tried removing them from the devices list and re-paiting them but I kept getting failure messages. This behavior worked fine on the RPI3.

Is there any reason this should be have differently? It’s the same adaptor and the some config but running on different hardware and OS.

For now I have moved the adaptor back to the RPI and they are both jostling for space on the shelf!!

Thanks

Let me guess, your Pi4 runs a SSD, and your Pi3 a SD ?

Yup. What significance is that??

The SSD cause EM interference with the dongle. Put the dongle in an USB 2 port, and use an extension cable to keep it away from the SSD.

ok, many thanks for the reply. I’ll keep that in mind.
