Solved by adding an additional 1m USB extension cable.
I have a RPI4 booting from USB3 to an NVMe. I wonder if that’s the problem.
My old tradfri gateway has been sitting next to the drive it for years and I never had any signal quality issue. I wonder what is different with the USB dongles.
I’m facing a similar issue. I’ve already put a long extension cable on the SkyConnect and taped the stick to the bulb. With that, pairing succeeds but then it disconnects and becomes unavailable.
This is the sequence of events:
Set SHA to searching for new devices
Toggle the bulb (a LED2003G10) 6 times
It confirms pairing mode by fading twice
HA finds the bulb
The bulb confirms that by quickly fading a few times
Now I can control the bulb
Then the bulb blinks twice (off/on, off/on) and becomes unavailable in Home Assistant
Any idea? I paired 15 Ikea devices before (E27, GU10, smart plugs and buttons) and it was often a pain but it worked. The new ones, I cannot get to work
