Actually on my main house, I have two tuya Zigbee masters, one covering each floor. The idea is that if part of the network goes down, it doesn’t all go at once (it’s also served by different AP’s). I need to find out how to do this with Home assistant. It seems I’m limited to one zigbee radio?
I have always found the sonoff SNZB-02 problematic, and sure enough same with HA. The Tuya and aquara sensors work beautifully, with the tuya’s giving me the longest range (they use AA/AAA batteries).
With the tuya gateway, though, light bulbs are unuseable. They randomly flicker, which becomes annoying. Doesn’t matter the brand. I hope that’s not something I’ll experience with HA.
To be fair, I find the whole Zigbee implementation pretty flawed, with some devices just giving trouble no matter what. The ones that work are generally fine and the ones that don’t just give problems no matter what. So it seems to indicate the protocol is actually not as standardized as it should. WiFi devices are more consistent in that if there is wifi - they simply work
