flashed to the newest: https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/blob/fb33727cf639a869d14769e5c28e56bfaf927a52/firmware_builds/zbdonglee/ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.5.0-zbdonglee-230400.gbl

any suggestions?

same problem. I noticed that it started to appear after I updated the firmware to 7.4.5 [GA], It didn't happen before, everything worked perfectly.

I have two Zigbee coordinators Dongle E inserted in Raspberry, one works fine on 7.4.5 (55 devices are imported) and the other (10 devices (MOES thermostats)) started getting an error after which z2m can no longer start. It helps only if you pull out and insert the coordinator into the USB.

All my software is updated to the latest versions.

And I noticed that it happens at about the same time, every day, +- 1-2 hours

went back to 7.4.3 and the problem went away. everything works great.

I will look into issues on 7.4.5 after xmas period.

I got my dongle-e to work with flashing different firmwares and baud rates, can't recall which but i think rolled back to 7.4.4

lmk if there's any way to check from Home assistant/vm console and i'll check which one i installed

[darkxst]

In ZHA just find the device for coordinator and it will show you the version.

7.4.5 was a relatively big update (compared to previous 7.4.3 and 7.4.4) perhaps they broke something in the process.

[CaesarNaykid]

my apologies. I just checked in Zigbee2MQTT Settings-> About tab and it says:
Coordinator type: EmberZNet
Coordinator revision: 7.4.5 [GA]

So, maybe i only switched from the 2x to the 1x baud rate version if that's accurate from Z2M to get it to work

7.4.5 and 7.4.4 have this issue for me. 7.4.3 works fine.
