ZHA failing to initialise

Recently my ZHA integrations have failed with none of the devices updating. the ZHA integration after trying to reload says;

Failed setup, will retry: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_20231218110208-if00’

A restart fails to resolve the issue unless I also swap the USB socket the dongle is in, but this only lasts a short while before the devices fail again. I tried reverting to a previous version (2024.4) which seemed to lengthen the time between failure, but not solved the issue. I have even just tried 2025.3

I am running directly on a raspberry PI.

Anyone got any suggestions on what might be the cause as I am banging up against the limits of my knowledge.

Try to reflash the firmware. And use an extension cable on an USB2 port
