Raspbee with deCONZ pairing issues

If you guys look at the posts you will see my previous topic of :- LAN Based Zigbee Gateway ?
and all the issues I seem to be having trying to get my Raspbee to work, I'm getting great help from Thorgal789 but at present we have both come to a dead end so just wondered if anyone else has ever had any issues and might have some pointers.

Currently I'm trying to pair the Xiaomi Mijia Door Sensor but deCONZ just refuses to see anything, I've tried a zigbee sniffer and my sensor definitely transmits

TIA
Dave

Not sure if I should start a new post for this as I consider it to be fairly important info, either way here goes:-

Long story short, 2 different raspbee setups, my own headless version and the image file from Dresden’s site both with a raspbee installed, neither worked, loads of things tried to sort it but no luck then today total success.
I have always been very cautious about using an SD card for long term raspberry use so always use a mini pci-e (msata) ssd on a converter, the makerhawk X850 to be exact, this happens to be on both my installs and it appears it generates loads of interference right where you don’t want it !!

If I moved the SSD adapter via a .5 metre usb cable or extended the raspbee header via a cable so there was a few inches gap everything sprang to life.

So if anyone is having the same issues you now know how to fix it.

Now we know the problem, it makes sense, but lot of people have search without find it ^^.
I will paste your post on deconz guithub and close the issue.
BTW Thx a lot, for the return.
