thanks for helping, I'm running a VM with HA OS (proxmox), i just realised that z2m crash when trying to pair those devices and watch dog isn't starting z2m back. I might load a backup when i was using my raspberry with conbee 2 and replace sonoff dongle by conbee 2 to see if same thing is happening which would indicate it has something to do with my proxmox VM

here are the logs when i try to pair:

here are the devices that failed to pair: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ11LM.html (i have 3 of those and one is failing to pair)

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TH02Z.html#tuya-th02z (did a mistake as i have 2 of them and none are pairing)

couple more devices that fails since i started thi post: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/AB3257001NJ.html#osram-ab3257001nj

Edit: HA fail to load my backup file, saying it needs a .tar file (but i did point to a .tar file), will do a fresh install and load my backup to see if same is happening

Edit2: issue with backup file was due to firefox, works in chrome

Edit3: using my backup and conbee, everything works fine (at one exception, a zigbee remote which i remember was a pain to setup. remote is paired but not working yet... https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/FUT089Z.html
