Zigbee2MQTT won't start after upgrade to 2025.1 | Home Assistant | Page 1

Has anybody had this issue. I can't get it to start. I rebooted several times and even pulled the zigbee dongle out and put it back in. Nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas?
Thanks

Well, it seems that the adapter protocol isn't supported:

#

Does "not supported by host" mean that home assistant doesn't support it, or the zigbee dongle doesn't support the version that Home Assistant is using?

#

That's likely the Z2M 2.x upgrade as opposed to HA. You likely need to update your coordinator firmware

#

I got the same problem. For now I reverted back to old zigbee2mqtt

#

But yes, the dongle probably requires flashing

I have a similar problem. @terse crane how did you manage to revert back to the old zigbee2mqtt version? even though i checked backup before updating, i can't find my backup 😦

terse crane Jan 4, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

I went to settings/system/backups/manual backups. There I could see a specific backup made for the zigbee2mqtt upgrade. I clicked on that line and there I got the option to restore the backup. Worked perfectly for me

#

#

And there I got:

viral garnet Jan 4, 2025, 3:50 PM

#

it seems all my backups since late oktober are 0 bytes... oh nooooooooooooooooo
is there an other way to downgrade? do you know that?

#

my zigbee network is quite large... i really really do not want to re-setup everything 😦

terse crane Jan 4, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

hmm. You could manually backup your configuration I suppose and then remove it and simply install the older version again?

#

Not sure if that will remove the configuration

astral granite Jan 4, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

viral garnet my zigbee network is quite large... i really really do not want to re-setup ever...

I can't speak for all coordinators, but updating the Sonoff-E didn't require any re-pairing/extra setup.

viral garnet Jan 4, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

yes, but i am failing at updating the sonoff 😦 i am on a mac and it seems everything is against me today 😄

#

which firmware did you install @astral granite?

#

the one from the link above?

viral garnet Jan 4, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

i see, and then you used the https://darkxst.github.io/silabs-firmware-builder/ to flash it? cause for me it does not want to connect to my sonoff stick

Yeah

viral garnet Jan 4, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

but i guess you are on windows?

astral granite Jan 4, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

I am

#

You're using Chrome?

viral garnet Jan 4, 2025, 4:24 PM

#

yes, still it complains that it can't connect to it... it spinns for a couple of seconds, then it tells me it can't connect. i already did install the drivers

#

i always get this, even though i did connect to the entry with the usb-to-uart in the name 😦

#

i already tried all my usb ports

astral granite Jan 4, 2025, 4:39 PM

If you can use the add-on to do it, that may be your best bet, since it sounds like there's comms issues w/ your Mac and your coordinator. Make sure nothing is using the coordinator if you go that route

but my stick used to work up until 1h or so ago... i don't get it

#

so it internally seems to use the same tool (https://github.com/NabuCasa/universal-silabs-flasher)

#

might that be some issue with my hardware? i just don't belive it, cause it worked up until i updated home-assistant

astral granite Jan 4, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

I think it's unlikely ... You're certain you've got the Sonoff-E?

viral garnet Jan 4, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

it says "sonoff zigbee 3.0 usb dongle plus" on it?!?

ah ok.... stupid me... zbdongle-p on the backside 😦

Not a problem. So it seems that my dongle isn't supported anymore (given the fact that the new version of Zigbee2MQTT won't work with it). Does anybody have a recommendation for a zigbee dongle going forward?

#

I just reverted to my previous Zigbee2MQTT version. Of course, now the Zigbee2MQTT want to update. I told it to skip and I am greeted with this:

#

So I am going to have to figure this out soon. I hav eno idea when Home Assistant will force the update on me.

#

BTW, reverting to the previous version worked great.

distant lotus Jan 4, 2025, 7:27 PM

I am updating the firmware on the ZBT-1, but it is only 7.4.4.0. Not sure if it will work. though

#

What about this as a replacement: https://www.amazon.com/SMLIGHT-SLZB-06-NoPOE-Zigbee2MQTT-Supporting/dp/B0D9Q9B1G7 ? Anybody have experience with Zigbee via ethernet?

Well, when I put this together, I moved from Hubitat - which is very different and had zigbee built in. When I moved to HA Green, I purchased my current Zigbee dongle as it seemed to be the one to use. However, that was before this update. I am not going to go out an purchase a different one today. I just want to know if there is a better one than the one I have.

I tried to change to zstack but that crashes the addon

#

So I'm still confused about what I actually have to do to fix this

#

I have this dongle: Sonoff ZBDongle-E Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle

#

hmm hold on. I may just have to flash the dongle

nm, flashing the dongle worked 🙂

Yeah also the E isn't zstack, once you've flashed it, you'll use ember
