Zigbee2mqtt crashes/freezes

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi everyone,
My HA Setup has huge problems.
My zigbee2mqtt add-on fails constantly. It stops, but I can’t find anything in the logs. There are ZigBee messages, but no errors. Sometimes it won’t start back up either. Even a system restart won’t help.
Sometimes it works for a while before stopping again

Can somebody help me troubleshoot?

On a secondary note: my Bluetooth stops working too, here only a reboot will help.

My HA runs as HAOS on a raspberry 3. The ZigBee stick is connected via a 1m usb extension cable

In my experience running zigbee with bluetooth is not good idea, as bluetooth tend to kill zigbee network. Those two doesnt go along together well.
If you can, remove bluetooth adapter and see how thing will go from there.

Bluetooth is built into the pi and the ZigBee dongle is away from the pi. It worked flawlessly I til a few days ago

Disable bluetooth from starting.

How do I do that?

I don’t use haos but probably you have to log in to terminal and then type

systemctl --type=service

to get list of running services. Find a bluetooth.
To stop service type

sudo systemctl stop bluetooth

To disable service you could use

sudo systemctl disable bluetooth

and it will not start the service on reboot.
To enable do the oposite

sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

I have the same problem. It is a new problem and since I have been running both Zigbee2MQTT and Bluetooth for a long time I would be surprised if the was Bluetooth related. I can’t find any info in the logs and it can take several goes to get it to restart. It will not auto restart on boot even although I have this option checked. The problem seemed to have started when I recently updated the Zigbee2Mqtt integration although this may just be a co-incidence. I am fully up to date with my Homeassistant and run it on Proxmox.

Exactly this happened to me! Does anyone know how to revert back to an earlier zigbee2mqtt add-on version?

With the backup & restore functionality in HA. Select partial restore and then select zigbee2mqtt

Thanks! I’ll give it a try!

Do you have any feedback 2 months later?
I have the same problem and not possible to downgrade from backup… Very random (not everyday and not necessary on the same zigbee device) … For me, restart the Zigbee2mqtt integration fix temporarily the problem, but it happens again few hours later…

I have the same problem. The whole system crashes when Zigbee2mqtt starts. This was not happening before and I haven’t made any changes other than updating the addon some time ago.
