Hello all - I’m wondering if anyone here had issues with the Aeotec Range Extender Zi? I had 3 of them, and they worked find until the 2024.02 core update. When that update hit, but Zigbee network went down, and I traced it to the Range Extender Zi - removing them from the network and reconfiguring (via UI) my devices worked well. Later I tried adding one of them back onto the network, and it created the same issues - a bunch of zigbee devices (including devices not connected via the range extender) went down.
I do like using them - I haven’t found a device that works as well. WAF for them is also fairly good, they are small and square and white — I don’t think putting Sonoff dongles flashed with router firmware is in the cards for me.
For the time being I replaced them with Thirdreality smart plugs, but signal strength from those plugs is noticeably worse - a lot more “red and gray” connections in my network map in ZHA.
