One problem that bothers me now for a long time was that my Zigbee Devices were unavailable when my Home Assistant restarted. I couldnt figure out why exactly that was the case but it might be a problem with the used Mosquitto MQTT Broker. But honestky i dont want to change that.
What i have seen was that restarting Zigbee2MQTT solved that problem. So i went the lazy way generating a Home Assistant automation which sends a MQTT message to the topic which tells Zigbee2MQTT to restart that bridge. Works without issues, you maybe have to adjust the delay.
