Hello fellow HA users
After digging around on the forum, the internet and trying many things, I turn to you for help. For context, I am new to Home Assistant but I am an experienced server owner.
I recently installed HomeAssistant on my server (Quartz64 with DietPi) as a Docker container with Docker compose. Worked as a charm. I have been able to connect my ESPHome dongle and my Skyconnect dongle (ZHA) without any problems.
This weekend I tried to connect a Sonoff module and a Lidl Home ceiling lamp to HA. Thats where I fail.
The ZHA is available and gives no error. When I try to add a device to ZHA it goes into search mode but it doesn’t detect anything.
What I already tried:
- Look in the docker container if the skyconnect is visible: yes it is in /dev/ttyUSB0
- Upgrading the firmware of the Skyconnect dongle (from 7.1.1.0 to 7.3.2.0)
- Following advices from Zigbee Home Automation - Home Assistant => dongle is 1 meter from the serverbox in a USB2.0 port, not near any device producing or reading a signal. The Sonoff device I try to add is approx. 7 meters away from the dongle.
- Following advices in SkyConnect not finding devices including the last one with some restarts of the whole server not only the container.
I put the ZHA integration in debug mode but even then when searching the “show logs” part is always empty:
Hopefully you have some new insights for me. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
