Zigbee2mqtt do not discover devices

1

I do run HA on RPI4 with connected Sonoff Zigbee 3 Plus dongle with Z Stack Firmware from this file:

If I check System-> Hardware I find it in the list on ttyUSB0:

Zigbee2MQTT is installed and has following Configuration:

data_path: /config/zigbee2mqtt
socat:
  enabled: false
  master: pty,raw,echo=0,link=/tmp/ttyZ2M,mode=777
  slave: tcp-listen:8485,keepalive,nodelay,reuseaddr,keepidle=1,keepintvl=1,keepcnt=5
  options: '-d -d'
  log: false
mqtt:
  server: mqtt://192.168.1.32/:1883
  base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
  user: mqtt_user
  password: <my password>
serial:
  port: /dev/ttyUSB0
frontend:
  port: 8099

Zigbee2MQTT log seems ok too, nothing that I can suspect:

However, new devices are not discovered. I did enable “Permit All (join)” option, and tried several devices: Temerature sensor, movement detection sensor, power socket, door sensor (set them all into pairing mode). Non of those were discovered. What can I test next?

Use an USB extension cable, and an USB 2 port, to keep the dongle away from interference from the Pi4.

Thank you! That was it!

that helped my friend too, thanks. Things failed to connect when it was directly connected to pi400, all good instantly on extender to usb2
