Zigbee2mqtt restart every two minutes when running it as a daemon with systemctl

[gd35]

Since I did the upgrade to 2.0.0 (and now 2.1.0), I found that zigbee2mqtt restart every two minutes without knowing the cause of this restart operation.

Before 2.0.0, I never noticed this.

The log shows:

When I start zigbee2mqtt using the command line:

openhabian[10:55]% /usr/bin/node index.js
Starting Zigbee2MQTT without watchdog.

It runs perfectly well for at least half an hour...

I have the following configuration in zigbeee2mqtt.service :

[Unit]
Description=zigbee2mqtt
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
Type=notify
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node index.js
WorkingDirectory=/opt/zigbee2mqtt
StandardOutput=inherit
# Or use StandardOutput=null if you don't want Zigbee2MQTT messages filling syslog, for more options see systemd.exec(5)
StandardError=inherit
WatchdogSec=10s
Restart=always
RestartSec=10s
User=openhabian

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

This configuration worked fine with previous version (< 2.0.0) of zigbee2mqtt.

Any advice on how to solve this issue ?

Thanks in advance

same issue as I posted a day earlier ;)

Thanks for the advice on how to solve the problem. I made the update to V2.1.0 and I still faced the same issue. So removing the Type=notifiy parameter is probably the solution.

Meanwhile, I used supervisord instead of systemctl. I will wait for a fix before going back to systemctl.
