zha / raspberrymatic

[flint kelp]

I'm encountering a strange conflict with my Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) setup. I'm using a Conbee III USB stick, which functions perfectly under normal circumstances. However, as soon as I enable the RaspberryMatic add-on (which also utilizes a USB device), my ZHA integration stops working.

I've already tried isolating the issue by switching the Conbee III and the RaspberryMatic's USB device to various USB ports on my system (both USB 2.0 and 3.0, front and back panel ports), but the problem persists.

have you tried running the devices off of a powered USB hub? One likely issue is that you're just running out of power. That's a common issue with SBCs and especially raspberries can be massive divas about it

(disregard if you aren't using an SBC at all... now on a second read seeing "front and back panel ports"...)

different idea: You may want to run the Conbee with a USB extension cable if you aren't already. Zigbee is pretty easily jammed by other "stuff", including USB 3 devices, iirc
