Hi,

I having the following error in the zigbee2mqtt repeatedly:

I get this sometimes when I reboot, never worked out why, but to fix it (presuming your problem is the same as mine) stop the addon, unplug the USB, count to 10, plug it back in, restart the addon.

If that doesn’t work I’m out of suggestions, but always works for me here.

mustafama2 · September 8, 2020, 4:21am

Thank you. I can remove the issue by restart of zigbee2mqtt addon. However, it resurfaces again in few days.I don’t know what triggers it!

anon43302295 · September 8, 2020, 7:54am

Nor me. As I say it only happens for me after reboots, and even then it’s only occasionally so I have no idea

Tim_Knowlden · January 19, 2021, 3:03pm

This is happening to me, moved from rpi 3b to 4 with ssd recently, ever solve this?

Shaad · January 19, 2021, 3:55pm

Change in your Zigbee2MQTT configuration the way you adress your Zigbee USB Stick from “/dev/ttyxxxx” to " /dev/serial/ by-id /xxxx" if it’s not already done.

Tim_Knowlden · January 20, 2021, 7:32am

Yes, ive always set it up that way, same with my zwave stick, that way I can plug them in either port.

nappyjim · June 5, 2022, 5:09am

Im having same issue as OP. Always get the ‘cannot lock port’ error.

I bought a Sonoff adapter since its recommended to be used with Zigbee2MQTT and still same thing. Im unplugged all other sticks just to rule them out as a conflict…

khvej8 · June 5, 2022, 5:50am

What is tour setup? A Rpi4 with HAOS or?
The sonoff, have you firmware upgraded it?
Have you checked that nothing else is using the dongle, like ZHA being installed as it detects the sonoff?
Do you use a USB cable extender?

robertklep · June 5, 2022, 8:16am

It means another process is already using the dongle (perhaps ZHA?):

nappyjim · June 5, 2022, 1:38pm

Using home assistant blue.

Did not do any upgrades to Sonoff. Straight outta the box.

I dont know how to check if anything else is using it. I do/did have ZHA installed that I currently use with my Nortek stick. But I went into my Integrations and i disabled ZHA, then restarted host.

Yes, I use a 4" USB cable extender.

khvej8 · June 5, 2022, 8:24pm

Have a look in this thread for firmware upgrade of the dongle, as a try. Im not sure this is the problem as it indicates ZHA is using the port, however with ZHA disabled this should not happen

nappyjim · June 7, 2022, 12:02am

Well its working now, but i changed two things so unsure if it was one or both.

I upgraded as you suggested.
I enabled ZHA but then plugged in my Nortek stick first. THinking that if ZHA was busy with Nortek, he wouldnt have time to lock the sonoff.

sjief · July 16, 2022, 2:48pm

I’m trying to set up Zigbee2mqtt, but can not get is running

I have the Zigbee Conbee II and running HA on a mini pc.

Also got the error message, and started to debug

This is the log output:

Somebody knows what is not working? Seems something with this:

No idea what it means and what to do

I don’t use ZHA.
I get this error once a day. Restarting Z2M helps me…
I couldn’t find a solution to my problem

Drakot · December 14, 2023, 6:45am

Something similar happens to me. Only solution is reboot the entire virtualbox machine. I guess the usb stops working for some reason. Very annoying really

LancashireDave · January 27, 2024, 3:26pm

I get this but much more frequently. It basically makes zigbee2mqtt unusable. Does anyone have any idea how to solve it?
I get this log message:
2024-01-27T15:19:29.076Z zigbee-herdsman:adapter:ezsp:erro Connection attempt 3 error: Error: Error while opening serialport ‘Error: Error Resource temporarily unavailable Cannot lock port’
I do not have ZHA installed (as far as I know!)
