Z2M Addon now failing to start

Configuration Zigbee
1

After a recent set up updates, core, supervisor and some others on my HAOS install, my fully up-to-date system wasn’t seeing any of the z2m devices, they were all showing as Unavailable.

I have made no changes to the addon settings or the configuration file or hardware, so this came out of nowhere. I’m running Z2M on a Conbee II USB stick, no changes made to stick. I found that the Zigbee.mqtt addon 140.2-1 would not start.

Refusing to start because configuration is not valid, found the following errors:
- devices/0x00158d0009ef5120/homeassistant/name must be string

My mosquitto broker is running on the HA box. My z2m configuration.yaml file is as follows:

I’ve rebooted of course. No change Can anyone help? I’ve seen a few others having similar issues over the last 24 hours.

You must supply a name: that you want the discovered name to be overwritten with. Or remove the homeassistant: device option if you no longer need to change the name. See: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/devices-groups.html#common-device-options

Thanks so much. I think I was playing around with it at some point, just exploring and didn’t realize I’d messed it up.
