I’m so fed up with the unreliability of my HASS Blue setup, I’m now thinking that I shouldn’t have given it so much responsibility. It has a Zigbee2MQTT network of 105 devices & Nodered for all my automation and I wonder if that is why it needs a reboot every other day. I’ve tried disabling the Hom…

I’ve got a Unifi system that should automatically change it’s channels (daily) to avoid any nearby conflicts

A question. The Unify system only change wifi channels to avoid interference from other wifi sources or. Can hardly also help with zigbee channels that is really not the same

Good point, i’ll try changing the channel manually just in case it only sees wifi channels rather than overall interference

I have been using unifi for over 4 years now and I cant recommend it enough. but DO NOT USE the nightly scan function. It just doenst work well and the wifi devices eventually just disconnect. My suggestion is that yo do a manual scan, find the lowest noise channel in your area and manually set it …

I have also found the UNifi nightly scan thing to not work. Just set it manually.

Just buy an Intel NUC/mini PC, install HAOS and never have issues again.

Hi, so you reboot the device daily yourself? As you might already know: a zigbee network can be unstable for many reasons and if it would be conflict with WiFi, it might be a better option to change the zigbee channel instead of WiFi. You don’t mention what the real problem is for rebooting the sy…

do i set each WAP to the same channel? I’ve got about 15 of them

yes, ti’s plugged into one of the USB ports on the Blue

Is it on an extension lead? This is a known problem with dongles plugged in directly to .sub ports.

Fed up of unreliability - ready to move Nodered to a Pi, Zigbee to Hubitat, etc

Recommnd buy a powered USB 2.0 hub and plug in via it, or at the very least use a longer USB 2.0 extension cable. Read:
