I have a couple of light switches that get unresponsive once in a while. A simple device reset does the job, but it's annoying when I don't know. I'd love to know as soon as it happens.
They are both quite close from the coordinator, and also from one another.
I thought that's what the "Available" option in Z2M is meant to be. But none of my devices ever show unavailable, even when they actually are. Why?

Can you share a map of your network?

Here you go. They show as connected, but with 0 LQI. Which is weird as they don't show that in the list. Always found that quite confusing with Z2M.

I wanted to see how they are connected. In this case it looks like they are far apart from the coordinator with no router in between. Maybe you can add one?

@dreamy fulcrumInterference does this. It's not always obvious why or whats causing it either. Only way to test is to move them somewhere else and see if it continues.

Really not the case. They are the 2 closest devices to the coordinator in the entire house. .
They are physically about 1m or less from it. They do have some brick wall in between it, but so do many others tbh.
If I'd reset them, you'd see they have very high lqi during normal operation.
@undone ruin Unfortunately they can't be moved. They are wall light switches.
I think it's just an issue with the particular model. I'm not too bothered that it happens. I just want to know when it does, and it bothers me that the Availability thing doesn't change. That's my issue really. Why does it happen?

About the mentioned interference. A energy and network scan might help with that: https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-znp/blob/dev/TOOLS.md#network-scan

Will have a look thanks. Though I recently did a channel change and I think I'm already on one of the clear ones :S. Can't remember now which one.

are you able to help with the commands? I'm really a dummy when dealing with CLI.
I have SSH with the addon. Disabled protection mode. Did docker exec -it homeassistant bash
My coord is SLZB-06, uses CC2652P.
My guess is I should change the command with my coord instead of /dev/cu.usbmodem14101
but no clue what's the right one to write there
pale ingot
Try python3 instead.
dreamy fulcrum
same
pale ingot
Show me.

The $ is not part of the command. It's just a rather needless way to show that it is a command.
dreamy fulcrum
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbmodem14201'
that's with python 3
pale ingot
You can't just use a random path.
dreamy fulcrum
serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/cu.usbmodem14201: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbmodem14201'
This is with python
pale ingot
Check ls -lah /dev/serial/by-id/
dreamy fulcrum
that was my guess. 😂

It should also be listed here.
pale ingot
You can use either of the paths for this. Make sure it's not used by anything.
dreamy fulcrum
sorry don't know what you mean
pale ingot
The left side (green) is a link to the right side. Both are valid paths.
dreamy fulcrum
python -m zigpy_znp.tools.network_scan -a -c 11 /dev/ttyUSB0 is this the right way?
pale ingot
It is one way.
dreamy fulcrum
still don't know what you mean xD I don;t know what they command is doing. I'm just pasting snippets.
tiemout error

Pictures of text are not optimal. Is ZHA or Z2M still running?
dreamy fulcrum
z2m is, yes

sorry, didn't want to post the wall. Will do next time
pale ingot
I told you to make sure the stick is not used by anything.
dreamy fulcrum
oh, missed that sorry.
pale ingot
It's kind of locked if Z2M or ZHA is using it.
dreamy fulcrum
just shut off the add on?
pale ingot
Yup. I'd also remove that -c 11.
Note that I do not know if interference is the issue. Just giving you options to troubleshoot.
dreamy fulcrum
double checked and it's not being used
pale ingot
Is this even connected via USB to the server? It's in network mode.
Try replacing the /dev... with socket://ip:port from the Z2M section on the left.
dreamy fulcrum
it is. It's connected via both, but eth is the connection being used afaik
trying the energy scan instead. DIff error

Try replacing the `/dev...` with `socket://ip:port` from the Z2M section on the ...
it worked!
not sure what to extract from here tho. I can see some devices being in diff channels. Most are 25, but a few are 19 and 14, and 16. Also a couple 0 LQI. Can't say as it keeps scrolling and they hav eno names XD
