Conbee II as ZHA coordinator: can't make a backup

[Barmatuhin]

The goal to transfer all zigbee devices from RPI with ConbeeII dongle (used as ZHA coordinator) to x86 host. Try to backup devices with command

Steps are:

1. Disable ZHA integration in GUI
2. Go to SSH and get inside docker container - docker exec -it homeassistant bash
3. Give this command python -m zigpy_znp.tools.network_backup /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2456090-if00 -o network_backup.json

And get timeout

bash-5.1# python -m zigpy_znp.tools.network_backup /dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden _elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2456090-if00 -o network_backup.jso n Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zigpy_znp/api.py", line 395, in r equest response = await response_future asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zigpy_znp/tools/network_backup.py ", line 104, in asyncio.run(main(sys.argv[1:])) # pragma: no cover File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/asyncio/runners.py", line 44, in run return loop.run_until_complete(main) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/asyncio/base_events.py", line 642, in run_until _complete return future.result() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zigpy_znp/tools/network_backup.py ", line 95, in main await znp.connect() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zigpy_znp/api.py", line 116, in c onnect self.capabilities = (await self.request(c.SYS.Ping.Req())).Capabilities File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zigpy_znp/api.py", line 395, in r equest response = await response_future File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/async_timeout/init.py", line 55, in aexit self._do_exit(exc_type) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/async_timeout/init.py", line 92, in _do_exit raise asyncio.TimeoutError asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError

What i'm doing wrong? Any chance to solve it?

Zigpy-znp does backups of znp based radios only. It is not applicable to ConBee stick, because it is different. In theory you could use Deconz to write down the extended pan Id, pan Id, keys etc and create a manual backup to be imported to znp. ATM there are not utilities to do it automatically.

If you're not migrating between two coordinator sticks, there's no need to perform a backup. The relevant network settings are stored on your stick. Just migrate the contents of /config/, including zigbee.db.

If you're trying to migrate from a Conbee II to a TI coordinator (e.g. CC2652), follow the instructions in this PR: https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-cli/pull/2

Actually what puddly said. I missed you are just changing the hosts, and not the sticks.

@puddly is it works if i use Conbee II stick as ZHA coordinator? All devices and entities stored in zigbee.db, and if i copy configs and db from RPi's platform (OS, Supervisor, Docker) to HA Core on x86 all works?

zigpy -vv radio deconz /dev/serial/by-id/... backup deconz.pickle

[puddly]

Yes. If you are using the same coordinator, there's no need to run anything or do anything else besides copying /config/.

@puddly - Thank you! Will try

Sorry for offtopic, but after transfer zha.storage, zigbee.db and merging configuration.yaml i can see Conbee II stick as ZHA coordinator, but all device names and entities reset names to factory names. Is it any lifehack to transfer device and entities names to new host? Edit: i'm talking about friendly_name
