Zigbee devices change state when updating esphome firmware

Hi Everyone, I have an unusual problem that I encounter anytime I run firmware updates for my esphome devices.

During the upgrade process, my Zigbee smoke alarms and water leak sensors seem to cycle through all possible states, I’ve attached a screenshot.

When this happens, this in turn triggers automations for a smoke alarm and water leak, leading to confusion.

Would anyway have an idea as to why these updates trigger this behaviour for Zigbee devices?

What Zigbee Coordinator do you have?

Some Ethernet connected ones have a ESP32 chip. It goes offline when the ESP32 FW is updated.

Okay interesting, I have a USB connected device, a Sonoff ZBDongle.
