So I’ll start by saying I have about 2 hours experience in Home Assistant.
I had a fully functional zigbee installation but noticed that I kept getting ezsp errors saying that it was not longer going to be supported. I found that my controller was at firmware version 6.something. So I updated it to 7.4.3 per some very helpful online instructions.
Now I can’t get Zigbee2MQTT to restart.
I’ve updated the config from ezsp to ember as the instructions I was following told me, but I think there must be something else wrong.
Wow, thanks for the quick reply.
I tried changing the config back to ezsp and then back to ember but I still get the same error, It also gave a different error when I tried starting it with the ezsp back in the config.

I couldn’t find a /config/zigbee2mqtt folder, but I did find /homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt
I stopped mqtt, deleted everything but the config file, I noticed that the config still had the ezsp listen so I updated that to ember, tried to start it and its still stuck. Same error.
Is it possible I fried my controller when I flashed it?
Turns out there was a weird baudrate issue. I stumbled across this other thread of someone having a similar issue and suggested a buadrate change:
As soon as I tried that, it fired right up! Thank you everyone for your help in all of this. It’s a big step into the dark from the ST and HE hubs I’ve used previously, but knowing there’s an awesome community here makes the world of difference.
