I am running deconz with a conbee II stick on a raspberry pi 3b+ for some years now and it has been stable up to now. It’s a standalone unit made with the deconz software. The Information is sent to Home Assistant (HA) via the Deconz integration app and HA runs on a separate device. Lately I have seen that the phoscon app has become “unstable” as it looses all its sensor information like on a restart and then uses its 30min to get all the sensors back. However when I log into deconz right after such insident, I can’t see anything there as the map is fully developed with all the lines in place. This has happen to be now 3 times over the last 2 weeks at random hours. So any advice on what is happening? When the app “restart” the information sent to HA is also lost, so I would like to get to bottom of this thing.
Phoscon and HA are using the same API (it’s 2 third app). So if both application have same issue it’s more “normal”.
As you have acces to the GUI, try to take a look in Deconz/help/Debug view with flags “info” “info_l2” "error’ adn “error_l2”.
For information sensors don’t send values in real time, some values can take 1 hour to be updated, so deconz just memorise last values, so I don’t understand when you say
Thanks for the tips, I will do that on next event/oppertunity. As mentioned the Deconz part looks OK as the path/links are established, but in the Phoscon app the sensors are grey out and they become solid as the sensors reports back. In Home Assistant, there is a period where the values are “unknown”, so the entities who uses these zigbee sensors input go to default value (which is typical how I see that there have been an event), so this is probably when the API is unavailable. And when it becomes available again then the sensors comeback to last known value even though the sensor is still grey in the Phoscon app, so as you mentioned maybe the HA API memorize the last value.
Deconz use websocket to send sensors changes, if I m right HA never ask for values.
When in phoscon sensors are grayed, it mean the flag in the json “reacheable” is false, and it need long time, a sensors disconnected for 6 hours, is not grayed, take a look on the “last seen” value.
Your tests are stranges, If i remove battery on a device, it will stop send data, but it need so much time to be grayed in Phoscon.
It’s not powered sensors, you are speaking about battery sensors ?
You have the issue on all sensors, or only a type of sensors ?
