Z2M Errors on Start - JS out of memory

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi Folks,

On start Z2M fails to start properly, some Z2M devices work fine but things like temperature sensors and lightbulbs don’t. Z2M log shows the below after restart. The controller is a CC2531 s below:

Any help appreciated. I just wonder if the controller is failing?

What hardware are you running Z2M on?

And how (e.g. as HA add-on)?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

RPi4 8Gb. Zigbee2MQTT Add-On. Everything up-to-date, and issues started with October update of core, but would fix themselves on reboot. But that doesn’t happen now.

4

Just noticed that the green LED on the CC2531 turns off after re-seating, as it was also off, I think it may be on its last legs? Yes/No?

5

It’s old and no longer recommended so a newer coordinator is not a bad idea anyhow.

I thought so, my HA has been running for many years. Upgrade time! Thanks folks!

I can recommend these: https://tubeszb.com/

A network attached coordinator gives you a lot of flexibility for placement compared to a USB version.

Thanks Tom, one for a future upgrade that. :grinning:

So bought a Sonoff 3.0, and still having issues. Z2M now says, as below, any ideas?

FYI for port also tried: ttyUSB1, but same issues.

There are two different versions of this, E and P. If you have the E you need to add the correct driver and make sure it is updated.

serial:
    adapter: ember

Thanks, will see what happens…

11

Jeepers lol, that was a challenge, couldn’t get connected to the dongle by most of the methods online (YouTube) to perform the upgrade. However, following this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1QeNPi6tK8) I successfully upgraded to Ember.

Unfortunately, I am getting the exact same errors.

Any suggestions folks? Thank you.

12

Can you show your current configuration.yaml (under the zigbee2mqtt folder)? Remember to format it correctly.

13

Hi, weird one, the adaptor in the config file was different than the config on the add-on. Changed it but no difference. Config as below, I can’t see any glaring error though.

Seems you haven’t added

serial:
    adapter: ember

In your case that would be

serial:
  port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Texas_Instruments_TI_CC2531_USB_CDC___0X00124B001CCC433C-if00
  adapter: ember
15

Right will check, its contained within the add-on config though, no idea why it’s not there… Will update and see what happens.

Thanks for the support.

Nope! lol… Log as follows:

There’s the error. Try renaming or removing the backup file.

Hi, so I removed database.db.backup from config/zigbee2mqtt, but now Z2M has got even worse.

It’s dead Jim!

Any suggestions folks… This is all I get on the log.

It’s not dead though, is it? Can you see the GUI? As the FAQ states when you change your coordinator from a CC2531 to a Ember one you need to re-pair all the devices.

20

Ah ha, yep that’s working - right I will start and see what happens.

Thanks!
