logs:
homeassistant.components.rfxtrx: debug
rfxtrx: device: /dev/ttyUSB0-RFX433XL debug: true
and look for

Upgrading home-assissant
For this is, as user hass:
cd homeassistant #python -m venv . ?? source bin/activate pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
Find new zigbee device via conbee/deconz
Assuming phoscon already found it: Got to Developer Tools->Services and enter
deconz.device_refresh
and then look in home-assistant.log for a lines like
INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.entity_registry] Registered new sensor.deconz entity: sensor.temperature_20
after a while it should also show up in Configuration->Entities (TIP: here change the Entity ID to something more useful)
The name you give the device on the deconz interface will show up in HA under "Devices"
Reload configuration.yml
That's done by the "restart server", make sure to run "check configuration" first
reload configuration from commandline
