I'm sure if you share (use a code share site) your configuration and Docker compose file, along with the logs, somebody will be able to help you.

I finally figured it out the problem there are multiple issues.

  1. Since I'm running docker containers the ip address of my broker changes after restarting the container.
  2. Zigbee2MQTT created its own network and will change from the bridge network to its own network when I restart my server.
  3. I've had my Zigbee dimmers and switches installed for sometime prior to setting up HA and had to be reset to initiate pairing.
    What was throwing me off was that in my Zigbee2MQTT logs was the fact the devices were being seen, and added to the the dashboard and HA but were showing as unavailable. I was trying to solve the problem of devices being unavailable which was a symptom of a larger problem.
    Now I need to dig into my Docker settings for a solution to the IP and network issues and I should have stable setup.

Yes that why I mentioned digging into my Docker settings. I have a bunch of unused PC stuff lying around I may move away from using HA in a container, but really wanted to run HA on my always on server and skip setting up another device.
