I have been trying to instal the P version on Openhab 4.0.3 using the Zigbee Binding. Openhab runs in a Virtual Machine on a Synology server, with an RFXCOM unit and a Z-Wave USB Dongle.
I created an Ember Coordinator thing and the USB port shows up in the drop down list (‘/dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_700089f8fc44ed11a699c8c90a86e0b4-if00-port0’).
But it never goes past Initialization and in the console log, it constantly cycles through:
:38:16.061 [INFO ] [gbee.handler.ZigBeeCoordinatorHandler] - **ZigBee dongle inactivity timer. Reinitializing ZigBee
:38:27.510 [INFO ] [hab.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - **Thing ‘zigbee:coordinator_ember:0c9e322558’ changed from OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR) to OFFLINE: Failed to open communications port
:38:27.513 [INFO ] [hab.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - **Thing ‘zigbee:coordinator_ember:0c9e322558’ changed from OFFLINE: Failed to open communications port to OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR)
Another troubling behavior is that when I try to remove it, it gets stuck into “Removing”. When I force-remove it, I am getting all kinds of handler error messages.
I have been reading posts but did not find anything that helped.
I am also testing the Sonoff Dongle on a Home Assistant instance in another VM and there the set-up fails at the create network phase, with a simple 'Error…" message…
