Z2M hibernating?

Sometimes, actually fairly often, i experience that my lights are not as responsive as they should be. I have a combination of Shelly’s, IKEA bulbs, normal Philips bulbs and some Aqara sensors.

I’m not on my Hass instance every day. Far from it. Every time it happens, the first thing i do is log into my instance, open Z2M and then it works. It’s like it goes into some kind of sleeping mode if nothing happens for X hours.

Has anyone experienced that before?

A couple points/questions:

  1. I was not aware that Shelly made Zigbee devices.

  2. If the computer where you are running Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT is going to sleep, then yes that is going to cause you problems. That’s not a Zigbee2MQTT issue.

  3. You should be able launch a browser on another computer on your network and navigate to the Zigbee2MQTT web front end page IP address and port. If you end up with a unable to connect in the browser via this method, then yes suspecting that your ‘server’ computer is going to sleep might be the problem.

  4. look at the zigbee2mqtt log file. And share relevant parts here are part of your request for help.

Good hunting!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply!

  1. I don’t have Shelly devices utilizing Zigbee, it was more to tell that i am experiencing this problem across multiple protocols (Wifi and zigbee)

  2. It doesn’t

  3. Not sure if i can do that, will keep that in mind for next time

  4. good idea, but i can’t remember last time it happened, so will remember it for next time and put in a comment here with relevant logs.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

You will probably cast a wider net for help it you change the title of your post and don’t just put it in the Zigbee category.

Good hunting!
