I had the same problem. I found solution here.
It works without USB cable after installation.

@r.novak
hi,

what do you mean without usb cable, i am not using a cable. it’s a dongle that plugged directly to the computer.

tachikoma1373 · October 7, 2020, 12:41am

Try getting a USB extension and adding the zigbee stick to that. many have found that the USB sticks are prone to interference and this can stop pairing amongst other things.

I gave up with ZHA to be honest - I just had so many issues getting devices to pair. I ended up switching to zigbee2mqtt but I still have issues. I have found that with Z"mqtt and my stick, which is I believe on the latest firmware (ebay purchase and will need to check) that it stops pairing after a while and the only way to get it to start again is to reboot, not just HA but the entire VM - I’m on proxmox BTW. Maybe this might work for you and ZHA?

you may also want to check the config of the USB port. that string looks a little short - for example mine is:

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Texas_Instruments_TI_CC2531_USB_CDC___0X00124B0014D96799-if00

but yours finishes at the ‘X’?

This is the problem with following instruction in old youtube videos. ZHA is now configured from the GUI unless you need to set special OTA parameters.

Follow the official docs and remove zha: from your config.yaml

tachikoma1373 · October 7, 2020, 1:32pm

I followed the docs, still had the issues outlined roughly above. good point though and should be tested/investigate by OP. As an aside I’m hitting paring probs with z2mqtt again but this is not the thread for it.
