Hi, I can achieve logging of onIniti, but no log for onNodeInit. Looking for expert’s assistance in debugging my code, please. Thanks. ```auto 'use strict'; const { Homey } = require('homey'); const { ZigBeeDevice } = require('homey-zigbeedriver'); const { CLUSTER } = require('zigbee-clusters'); // For debugging only const { debug } = require('zigbee-clusters'); // Enable debug logging of all relevant Zigbee communication debug(true); class MyZigBeeDevice extends ZigBeeDevice { /** * onInit is called when the device is initialized. */ async onInit() { this.log('MyDevice has been initialized'); } // onNodeInit is called when the device is initialised. async onNodeInit({zclNode}) { this.log('Zigbee node has been initialised'); // Check if the ZigBee node is available if (this.zclNode) { this.log('ZCL Node available:', this.zclNode); // Log the available endpoints and clusters Object.keys(this.zclNode.endpoints).forEach(endpoint => { this.log(`Endpoint ${endpoint}:`, this.zclNode.endpoints[endpoint].clusters); }); await this.readOnOffAttribute(); } else { this.error('ZCL Node is not available'); } } ``` I’ve tried to re-pair my device. Did not work ---

Hi, I’m looking for assistance in my code and as I explained in the first paragraph, the logging under onInit was ok but no logging was seen under onNodeInit. After searching online before posting, what I realised is onNodeInit did not intialize. One of the solutions I found online was to repair my ZigBee device, which did not work. It is meant to say I’ve already tried this rectification method. ---

You’re still not being very clear. What do you mean by “repair”? Repairing, or completely deleting it and pairing it again? And what “did not work”? The pairing process? The log in `onNodeInit`? Since debugging is turned on, what do the debug logs say? ---

Hi, I apologise for not being sufficiently clear. By re-pair, i meant completing deleting the device then pairing it again. What did not work was the log did not work for `onNodeInit`. With no log of ‘Zigbee node has been initialised’, I would assume `onNodeInit` did not work as well. Log: MyApp has been initialized. MyDriver has been initialized. MyDevice has been initialized. ---

Are you sure that your driver is being used for your device? It sounds like it’s not, which could explain why `onNodeInit` isn’t being called. ---

Hmm okay, that should work. Do you get _any_ Zigbee debug logging (because you use `debug(true)`) at all? Because you should. ---

No, you should see Zigbee-specific logging, as described here: [https://apps.developer.homey.app/wireless/zigbee#debugging](https://apps.developer.homey.app/wireless/zigbee#debugging)
