"startup failed - configuration-adapter mismatch"#

On the log message startup failed - configuration-adapter mismatch - see logs above for more information zigbee-herdman or the ioBrokers ZigBee adapter complain that the configuration does not match the configuration which is stored in the coordinator. This error occurs when a different Pan ID (or extended Pan ID) is configured than the coordinator expects. This can happen if the coordinator has already been operated on another installation with a different Pan ID. As a result, an existing backup cannot be restored and you would have to re-pair your devices. However, the solution is quite simple: It is sufficient to delete the contents of the NVRAM of the coordinator.

  1. Download ZigStarGW Multitool
  2. Close the host application (zigbee2mqtt, ioBroker instance, etc.)
  3. Enter the IP and port of the coordinator in the Multiool, e.g. 192.168.40.176:6638.
  4. Click on the Erase button on the left-hand side under NVRAM
  5. Wait until "finished" appears in the status bar
  6. Start the host application with the desired Pan ID
