After experiencing some frustrating issues with my Aqara switches, I thought I’d share my journey and what I learned along the way. Problem: Two of my four Aqara switches suddenly stopped working after I had to shut down my NAS running deCONZ as a Docker container. All other devices remained functional, which was both confusing and a bit concerning. Initial Attempts: I tried the usual troubleshooting steps—reconnecting the switches, resetting the ConBee II gateway, and even deleting and recreating scenes. For a moment, it seemed like things were back to normal, but the issue resurfaced the next day. Deep Dive: I decided to dig deeper into the logs and configurations. It turned out that the Docker container for deCONZ wasn’t restarting properly after the NAS shutdown. This led me to explore the container’s restart policies and dependencies. Solution: After some research, I adjusted the Docker settings to ensure the deCONZ container restarts automatically and properly. Additionally, I updated the ConBee II firmware to the latest version, which seemed to stabilize the connection. Key Takeaways: - Always check Docker container settings if you’re running deCONZ on a NAS. - Regular firmware updates can prevent unexpected issues. - Don’t underestimate the importance of proper restart policies for critical services. Final Thoughts: It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but resolving the issue gave me a deeper understanding of my setup. If anyone else is facing similar problems, I hope this helps! ![]()
