Door light failed this morning

"Stopped because an error was encountered at February 11, 2026 at 5:43:44 AM (runtime 23.43 seconds)

Failed to send request: device did not respond"

That's at the turning on the light step off the automation.

How do you diagnose further?

The light would not turn on manually within HA.
I physically turned the light switch off and on and the light started working again.

Just when you think it's all working it breaks again.

I had this as I still had the hue hub connected and it was interfering with it for some reason.

No hub here. Honestly starting to regret the whole automation thing. Some things do just work but others seem so buggy.

Edit: did it again this morning. Might try restarting the ZigBee coordinator and HA tonight see if that fixes anything.

I know ZigBee devices such as plugs act as routers, but is that rotting dynamic or static ie of my build is routed via a plug and you unplug that plug does the routing change? Is it always adjusting and updating?
