Zigbee is not longer working After updating from HA 7.2 >> 7.3

Configuration Zigbee

Junge, the logfile is full of errors related to ZHA (= Zigbee Home Alliance), like

2022-02-08 11:17:54 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.zha.core.channels.base] [0x621F:1:0x0300]: async_initialize: all attempts have failed: [DeliveryError(‘[0x621f:1:0x0300]: Message send failure’), DeliveryError(‘[0x621f:1:0x0300]: Message send failure’), DeliveryError(‘[0x621f:1:0x0300]: Message send failure’), DeliveryError(‘[0x621f:1:0x0300]: Message send failure’)]

Don’t know the reasons, though. Options:

  • check WiFi channels, so they don’t interfere with Zigbee network
  • use an extension cable for the Conbee unless done already
  • check that the Conbee II is available in HA, USB device links may change on (re-) plugging.

Hi, sry, i did filter for the wrong keyword (instead of zha i took zigbee), but anyway, I have been though all 3 suggestions. It neither the interfering with my WiFi channel and I did re-plugging differn times and the ConBee Stick is recognized without issues. I do have 112 zigbee entities in 3 stories and all have been worked nice before the update to 7.3.

Can you downgrade to 7.2?

11

Hi, that was exactly my intention, downgrade the homeassistant server to version 7.2 again and then waiting up for some kind of “positive” behaviour in regards of the zigbee entities.

But I did not get involved how to do that yet, the downgrade. Can’t do that with my backup files that much all figured out.

12

I did only find some hints and clues how to down create the core and the supervisor. That seems pretty straightforward and easy, but afterwards the system itself will obviously stay at version 7.3:(

13

Ok, I downgraded the core too some version 14 days ago. It is now Version 2021.12.10. But the zha error in the log stays - always the same:
[homeassistant.components.zha.core.channels.base] [0x3FE8:3:0x0300]: async_initialize: all attempts have failed:

14

Ok, I succeeded also with downgrading the operating system from version seven point three to seven ppint two and afterwards all the ZigBee entities have been working again. So problems solved after downgrading the OS. But now? I do not dare to update the system since I fear that the same thing will happen again:(

Congratulations on restoring your system, maybe it was just a glitch during upgrade and next time will work.

However, since I don’t use HA OS I am out of help.

16

What installation method are you into?
Plugin onto your Nas?
Using some container runtime like podman or cri-o?

17

I am a container freak and I have sufficient knowledge in container and container orchestration.

I run Portainer in a container on an x86_64 host and HA, MariaDB, Mosquitto and Watchtower as Portainer „Stack“ on the same host.

Portainer Agent and Zigbee2mqtt are running as containers on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Reason is I am using Raspbee II as Zigbee coordinator device.

Portainer and Portainer Agent are for easier administration only, my setup can also be achieved using docker compose.

18

Yes I’m working at RedHat. There’s really anything about Linux and containers. I myself running several services and programs in containers on my raspberries - with podman (it’s very similar to docker but rootless, no service, just a very slender runtime).

Ok, thanks for the heads up and maybe I will give a try on containers as well, maybe the better approach.

Same Issue, Zigbee completely stopped working after 7.3 update from 7.2. Tried restore from snapshot, I however did not have ny luck with that. Remaining on old insecure versions of home assistant is unacceptable anyway, I wouldn’t leave my television on old firmware, let alone the literal brain of my house. Tried to remove addon and readd it, no luck, won’t find the coordinator. This was after doing extra work to even attempt to get my raspbee 2 to even be seen by home assistant. (Playing in the config file.) Still no luck though, my raspbee 2 and my zigbee is completely borked and I don’t know how to fix it.

Hi,

what you could try is to re-produce it the way I did without restoring it via snaphsots you did create beforehand.

  • bring your HA back to 7.3.

  • Downgrade the Core via ssh or the Terminal:
    ha core update --version=2021.12.10

  • Downgrade the OS via ssh or the Terminal:
    ha os update --version=7.2

Maybe worth a shot?

21

I’m going to keep my Installation on 7.2 until 7.4 has been released in the next weeks.

22

revert to os 7.2. What makes you think 7.2 is insecure?

23

Just for the record: “restart” the host is “power cycle” the host.
I am still on 7.1 but when I updated from 2021.12.10 to 2022.2.3 I also lost ZHA - ha core restart did not help - it worked after epowercycling the host.

Maybe removing and re-inserting the zigbee usb key would also have done the trick.

24

Same has happened to mine.

Can upload logs if anyone is bored haha

25

Please try 2022.2.6 first, 2022.2.3 is outdated already

26

I think its something with the OS specifically. 7.3 & 7.4 are broken. I’ve had no issues with any core updates and just went to 2022.3.1, ZHA works fine.

What stick does everyone have? I have the HUSBZB-1 Zigbee / Z-Wave combo which I know is a little older. Maybe the OS changes removed something the USB stick needs?

I’m too scared to update the OS anymore though :slight_smile:

I started to use HA in my NUC since 1 January and used always latest updates. I only used 3 or 4 zigbee devices with ZHA and a conbee II. And so far, I didn’t have issues.
