#Zigbee2MQTT - Error after update

verify it's still connected to your MQTT broker
same goes for Z2M connection to your broker
I had some weird stuff go on with availability recently as well, even though it was turned off in Z2M. I decided that I really wanted it on, and when I explicitly enabled it all my devices showed as online properly
same here after updating from 15.0 to 15.1; all the entities were reporting all the events to Z2M and MQTT, everything worked as before but the Z2M dashboard said OFFLINE in every single row. Talked a lot with ChatGPT with no luck. There was nothing in the logs.
Then I enabled this option and immediately they all became ONLINE! Thanks @Robc . Is this a new 15.1 option ? I've never enabled it manually before, but the status was being reported as expected. Maybe the update changed its default value ?
(I apologize for the screenshot being in Italian 😅 )
Are you referring to 15.1 HA OS?
if yes, it has nothing to do with properties inside Z2M (your screenshot)
I think you guys are just getting fooled by a Z2M bug that's falsly listing things as offline
in HA, these devices are still online and work. Z2M's UI falsely reports them as offline
Yes, that was my assumption
Something might have been "kaputtrepariert": https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/26942
See links inside there.
@Impact I confirm that yesterday I updated both HAOS and Z2M... now this is starting to make sense
Maybe I’m being pedantic but they are not showing up as offline in HA.
Are these people looking at the device in the mqtt integration?
Nothing wrong with being pedantic. The links inside are still useful and it's related.
Yeah, read the issue… people don’t know the difference between z2m and HA
Addons being so tighly integrated into the frontend kinda make this a given.
Based on that thread, enabling Availability does fix it, but it’s a battery killer as it keeps polling your devices at regular intervals. After the issues the other month, this is the addon I always wait a week or so before updating.
Don’t enable that
There’s no reason to, your devices are online
That will add polling to your network
Passive devices (everything that is not an active device, mostly battery powered devices): these devices need to check-in every 25 hours, they cannot be pinged so if they don't they will be marked as offline.

Why/how would that kill battery?
last month I was not playing with HA, yet 😅 thanks for your advice. dude
