I have a problem lately and I don’t know why it happens, there is a specific device, a ZBMINI-L, that disappears from the sonoff ihost, this week I have had to pair it twice. Does that happen to anyone? I also wanted to ask if we can update the devices we have at home with ihost, because I previously had a z bridge P and with ewelink it told me the devices to update.
Only the ZBMINI_L disappear for me, only those devices without power. It already happened to me that week 3 times. The program in Node red does not fail me or the automation.
I have had a few Zigbee devices disappear, but not repetitively. When the first couple disappeared I thought I was going mad but when the next two went I was sure it was the device. Of the 4 that have disappeared 3 are buttons (battery) and one Zigbee mini.
There’s a standard file type for Zigbee networks that is used by, at least Zigbee to Home Assistant (ZHA) and Zigbee2MQTT. It’s on GitHub. I think they should let us backup our Zigbee networks so if anything disappears we can just restore the saved network. It’s quite a lot of work pairing everything. I don’t fancy going through that again. Both Node Red and Home Bridge have back up options so I avoid the built in scenes. Can you imagine having to recreate all your scenes if you needed to start again. I personally think they should allow scene backup but that sounds like lots of work. Backing up a Zigbee network to a standard open file type that already exists though…
What I did is a copy of the setting.jc and flows.joson files and I have them saved on the PC, I don’t use mqtt, I have ihost + node red. What would be annoying is having to pair all the devices, but there are only 31 LOL.
1 was a Sonoff Zigbee Mini. 3 were buttons from other manufacturers that I moved over from Home Assistant and worked before and after. I don’t remember who the manufacturers were. Everything was Zigbee and directly connected to the iHost.
4 of 28. So most stayed. Also not sure related to update. They just disappeared
I have missed the ZBmini-L several times, the ones that do not have neutral. and the way to pair them like other devices:
1.- Press 5s until the device flashes.
2.- open ihost and press +, select add zigbee device.
3.- Hit the pair and wait for it to find it.
4.- Give it a name and location,
Same to me
ZBMINI-L2 fw version 1.0.14
Ihost version 1.13.0
I changed for another Zbmini and the problem persists.
I even installed zigbee repeaters (Tuya and one brandless).
After I repair the Zbmini the signal is always good. All the scenes and Telegram integrations work (via Node-RED).
Although, after a day or two the device simply disapear (not even going to offline)
I have another Zbmini in another room and it has never gone missing
Hi all. I have lost two sonoff thermostatic radiator valves of three installed in my home. Unfortunately I can’t see the device version for unconnected devices but the alive one shows 1.1.1. My iHost version is 1.13.3.
I’m really scared to add new devices…
