Can you download diagnostics for the ZHA integration and attach the JSON here?

ZIGBEE_MAX_MESSAGE_LIMIT_REACHED sounds like you have an automation running group commands, which will clog up the network. What adapter are you using and what firmware are you running?

Thanks very much!

Adapter, if I understood correctly is SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2. I do not see how to check the firmware…will research if you direct.

Good day, didn't want to flood useless information… Could I ask you for more direction on what the adapter is, so I can get you the firmware version?

Thank you again.

That info is in the diagnostics you uploaded: SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2, running firmware 6.10.3.0 build 297.

Are you using Zigbee groups to control your devices? Or are you turning individual ones on/off?

Apr 20 '25 16:04 puddly

Thanks very much!Individual on and off.

I can see my comment was not well formatted, I'm using individual on/offs in an automation that's triggered by a motion

Having the same issue. I can also add that I can only add new devices in range of the main coordinator now. It will not connect to other routers or on-power devices, not even when trying to "add devices via this device". I also had the issue that the NWK is cycling, but I was able to fix that by updating the main coordinator to Z-Stack 20240710. Devices outside of the main coordinator range also keep dropping off the network.

EDIT: furthermore, various plugs and switches no longer respond when i try to turn them on or off via home assistant, but instantly update when i press the physical button, so reading info works, but setting info doesnt. the issues are all outside of the coordinator range in my garden, but the zigbee network is dense enough with 4 dedicated sonoff routers.

I had exactly the same error message, when trying to toggle my brand new Ikea inspelning smart plug. And I solved the problem with a power cycle of my home assistant controller (with the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2).

A few years ago I had a flaky zigbee stick, which I had to power-cycle quite often to get it running again. Note just a reboot of the controller wasn't enough, it really needed to discharge completely.

I hoped this erroneous behavior would be solved with the SONOFF stick, but unfortunately, it seems to have the same issue :(

Thanks Ronald. I tried and tried.
