I have a Sonoff ZBDongle-E with the RCP firmware flashed for my Thread network. It has been working OK (other than the general difficulty of setting up Thread/Matter), but recently I have been having issues where all of my Thread devices (Thread over Matter and ESPHome Thread) are not reachable. At the same time, the below logs just keep repeating in the OTBR addin logs every few seconds.
I am not finding much info on these codes. ChatGPT says it may be related to power issues with the USB or a hardware fault with the dongle.
The only thing that temporarily fixes the issue is unplugging and re-plugging the dongle. However, today, even that does not fix it.
So far I have tried:
- Using with and without USB extension cord
- Updating firmware
The dongle is plugged directly into my PC either way so I don’t think this would be a USB hub related power issue. It does seem likely to be a hardware fault to me since power-cycling the dongle seemed to fix it temporarily. Does anyone have any more info or ideas on this?
