Occasional RPi Reboot Required

I have been on HA for about 4 months now, I am running it on a Pi5 with 8GB and 128 GB NVME. I have SonOff USB ZigBee and Z-Wave dongles. I am running HA 26.4.0 and all integrations are up to date. Most of the time, things work as expected. However about once a month it appears some integrations go off line at the same time, such as Ring Alarm, Ford Connect, Schlage Locks, Generac Mobile Link, etc. The ZB and ZW devices are all fine.

The logs show that there are certificate errors on the various integrations and rebooting HA does not help. I must hard-power cycle to RPi by pulling the power adaptor. Once it restarts the integrations are all back up 100%.I came from years using Smartthings and never had the issues I have with HA. I think I rebooted my ST hub 5 times in 5 years for troubleshooting…

Log - Failed to establish websocket connection after 3 attempts: Cannot connect to host prod-socket.zodiac-io.com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, ‘[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate (_ssl.c:1081)’)]

I can connect to HA outside the network using Nabu Casa, so I know it has an internet connection. Does anyone have any clue why this happens so randomly and how I can fix it?

Thank you!

Have you measured or calculated the power requirement of your configuration? Does your power supply provide enough current with margin to accommodate peaks and brownouts?

If you come up short, you might want to consider a USB extender hub with its own power supply so you can independently power your dongles.

I never considered a PS issue. I am using the official RPi power supply that came with it. When I look at the stats, the CPU usage hangs around 1% to 3% and memory about 20%. I have a fan in the Pi and it stays cool. I will try and figure out the power draw this week and see what’s happening with that.

This information also looks useful:

There are some fixes in the latest April update in respect of NVMe issues. Check that the latest updates have all been applied.

About the time the monthly HomeAssistant core updates happen?

I am not sure about the timing. I have HA core 26.4.1 waiting to load along with the new HA OS and 3 other updates that came out today. I will see if the updates are connected to the issue.

But wow! I can’t believe all the constant updates that keep rolling in almost daily. This update list is just from the last 3 days. It seems one update or another breaks some integration every month or so, HA has become a part-time job.
