Hello!
I got this pesky problem - after an update in mid-2024, my Zigbee setup started experiencing serious problems. Most Zigbee devices stopped working, except for temperature sensors. I initially tried troubleshooting without success. The issues escalated to the point where I had to delete simple automations, like kitchen light control triggered by motion, because it completely stopped working overnight, and my family became very frustrated.
Months later, I attempted to reintroduce simple automation for hallway lights with a Zigbee button. It worked for a while till someday ago (2-3)
Now, I’m back to square one: Zigbee devices, like Sonoff buttons, enter an “unknown” state immediately after a reset. I see events fired, but right after, the state transitions to “identify button unknown.” The problem is consistent across two Sonoff buttons. I see the battery status displayed as 100%, but nothing else works.
My last environment: System: Raspberry Pi 3B, Core: 2024.12.3, Supervisor: 2024.11.4, Operating System: 14.0, User Interface: 20241127.8. Zigbee integration used Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus
I have several attempts to reset a Sonoff Zigbee button but they enter “unknown state” immediately after reset and remain unusable. (also my sonoff power switch to fire light in my living room)
I’ve enabled debug logging, but I find it hard to interpret the results. I tested the same scenario with two separate Sonoff buttons, and both exhibit identical behavior.
The system ran stable before mid-2024. Some Zigbee devices like temperature sensors still work. Persistent issues make automations unreliable and unusable.
Please help, i am really missing gold ages of working things… (i am just a cm’s before trash all step…)
My core is 2024.12.3 and i am running Home Assistant OS
