Can't add device anymore

[LeMyst]

Hello,

I have a CC2531 installed on a RPi 3. I recently discovered your project. I used zigbee-sheperd during month and then I discovered your project. I reinstalled my RPi with node-red and I started using node-red-contrig-zigbee. After some tests, I successfully added my devices (mainly Xiaomi hum/temp sensor, hum/temp/pressure and door sensor) and started to create my flow without issues.

Then... I started to "lost" some devices, I didn't receive any update from then anymore, when I tried to add the device again, the controller don't answer (permitjoin -> Press ~5 seconds then release -> first long flash, then second long flash (instead of the three short flash))

So, I tried some things, everytime without sucess (everytime with 4 different xiaomi devices) :

• removed the dev.db -> no more devices, can't add them after
• multiple reboot -> nothing
• reflash the CC2531 with the latest firmware -> nothing
• reboots -> nope
• remove node-red-contrib-zigbee, zigbee-herdsman and zigbee-herdsman-converter -> nope again

I don't have any idea to solve this, I don't understand why my controller don't want my devices...

latest log from node-red-log (only zigbee part, no error at all):

I've installed the ZBOSS sniffer firmware (for history: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/how_tos/how_to_sniff_zigbee_traffic.html ) and I can see the Beacon Request (x2) when I try to add my device (long press, 3 long flash, etc.) So the CC2531 works correctly (at least the antenna).

On the node-red, I tried to delete the herdsman and add it again. No problem on that part, but I can't add a new device...

Still searching 💔 😿

Same problem here. Im after upgrade from 0.8 to 0.15. Devices added in 0.8 are still working fine but I cant add new devices. I have same problem with two Raspberrys. Log says nothing besides permitJoin true/false.

• CC2531 with 2.6.3 20190608
• Raspberry Pi B+ and Zero W
• Node-Red v0.20.8

Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this?

I solved my problem by deleting old and adding new herdsman configuration with different key.

Hi, Quick update. My issue is solved (months ago) but I don't know how or why. One day after an another reset/rebuild/reflash/etc. of the node-red/CC2531, my devices can be added again. I've no real answer for this issue, mainly because I didn't try to "break" my config again to reproduce the issue, I'm too afraid of the result... I'll not close the issue myself because I think the issue is real, but maybe it was only in an old versions and have been solved (consciously or not).
