Sky Connect - What the heck?

Hi @ all,

I had it all set up and running. HA runs on an unraid server as VM - connected to it is a sky connect usb stick running the ZHA integration. I have several Zigbee devices:

  • IKEA of Sweden : PARASOLL Door/Window Sensor (several of those)
  • _TZ1800_fcdjzz3s : TY0202 (Motion Sensor)
  • IKEA of Sweden : STARKVIND Air purifier
  • Paulmann Licht : 500.47 (RGB Light “Manager”)
  • _TZ3000_1obwwnmq : TS011F (Lidl Poweroutlet/Plug)
  • IKEA of Sweden: TRADFRI control outlet

For some reason the Parasoll devices lost contact and even replacing the battery did not make them respond in zha. Now not a single device responds in zha and when i try to reconfigure the devices it shows up like this:

I am at a complete loss. Should i jsut start over?

Make sure you are using an USB extension cable to get the radio stick away from USB3 ports.
Make sure the addons and integrations are running in HA.
Restart the HA host (Not just the HA core).

How many of your devices are routers? I make it two or three (not sure about the light manager).

This is not much of a mesh. It could be that the Parasoll devices connected initially, but the network is not resilient enough to cope with small changes in the environment - interference, for example. Has your neighbour’s wi-fi changed channel?

Lots of good advice here:
