Unable to pair a previously paired Zigbee device (ZigbeeForDomoticz and Sonoff USB)

I have just upgraded from a Zigate V1 (which suddenly died) to a Sonoff USB dongle.

With the magic of ZigbeeFor Domoticz plugin it just all 'worked' with minimal hassle of repairing devices.

I noticed that I had to 'prepare device for a full reset' (in pugin interface) for a number of devices to repair - I can't remember having to do this for any previous repairing.

There is one device that I just can not get to repai.
It is an icasa filament bulb.

When I was repairing it was showing in the logs as being replaced but just wasn't working.
I tried deleting it from Domoticz but it didn't delete from the plugin management page.
I edited (rightly or wrongly!) DeviceList-12.txt from the data directory within the plugin directory.

Now when I try and repair nothing appears in the Domoticz log.
I can pair other devices and can even repair another identical bulb.

What logs/debugs do I need to enable to troubleshoot this?
It seems that the device is not known to Domoticz or the plugin but seems to be 'stuck' in the USB stick?

Anyway - thanks for the very smooth transition from Zigate to Sonoff...... I thought I was going to be without my Zigbee network for a week.... thankfully Amazon Prime delivered within 24 hours!

It would be good to see the Logs/PluginZigbee-xx.log

you can eventually enable debugPairing to track a bit more what is happening during the pairing.

Are you sure that the device is not listed in the Plugin Devices (via the Device Management on WebUI) ?

Only just got to try this again..... and it connected first time!
Maybe it was because the light has been off that time and it was an issue with the device itself!
