Oh ok. that ain’t good. In fact I have a bunch of Miflora sensors which I connect via Plantgateway running on a Pi Zero and another Pi. It works generally well but I was planning to move to the BT Proxy solution soon because then I don’t have to deal with the MQTT workaround and can connect them directly to HA. Also what is annoying that when you restart the HA it takes quite a while until the plant gateway sends data again (if you don’t trigger manually). I guess I will try it and see if it works as I already have the ESPs lying around.

275

@hesspoint Interresting, didn’t know that this existed. I personally use MQTT quite a lot, especially for my Zigbee network. So that wouldn’t bother me at all, perhaps I’ll try this as well.

Feel free to get back with an update on how your BT proxy experience was/is. :wink:

Hi Jump, just started using my Yellow, great device. The problem I have is that the zigbee radio seems very weak. Only works at a 2-3 meters. When I plug in the sonoff zigbee stick I get range of 15 m

Ouch that’s not good. I have an external antenna on my ZigBee stick too. Hopefully it’s possible to modify the home Assistant SkyConnect to extend the range.

278

Same here , terrible connections , am using a conbee II now, works fine

279

@scator and @wout_PN are you using the external antenna?

280

@nickrout what external antenna? Didn’t know it is an option

281

Then read this thread, I only heard about it in this thread.

282

@nickrout if you mean CM4 external antenna, I don’t think you can use it for zigbee

283

Y’know I think I was confused over the antenna.

The pics on crowd supply some some headers near the zigbee chip, maybe worth investigating.

See Home Assistant Yellow - builtin ZigBee - #7 by FloatingBoater

285

Has anyone designed a wall mount option yet?

286

When will this thing be available? 2055?

@sygys I believe that is the best estimate so far

I see that there is an antenna plug next to the zigbee radio, I will try connecting an external one to this

290

No, I was looking at the picture of the board, when I checked my board it has no plug :frowning:

291

But perhaps a place to solder one?

292

Yes could be an option, however I just fried my Sonoff panel when soldering on leads

Hi. I bought a 1 TB Samsung 980, I plugged in but now my Home Assistant Yellow wont boot it seems, I never see it on the network, so I took out the SSD expecting it to boot as normal, but no, still not appearing. So now I don’t know if I have a Yellow issue or not.

Now trying to work out how I can troubleshoot this, if anyone has any pointers?
