I have migrated my Zigbee components from ZHA → Zigbee2MQTT. I also installed two (2) Aqara ZNCZ12LM. Some of the Zigbee components are associated with the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus coordinator.
In the attached diagram, you can see that 6 Zigbee devices are associated with one Aqara ZNCZ12LM. The other device of the same type “Socket: test plug Aqara 2” has no devices associated to it.
It is the same for the three (3) Sonoff S31ZB are interconnected but have no associated device.
I would like to understand this behavior? Is this normal? If not, what can I do to correct it.
For Aqara, yes. They don’t entirely follow the zigbee standard.
Aqara non-routing end devices will pick an acceptable route (not necessarily the best route) when paired. They will then never change this route unless they are re-paired.
You can force a device to use a particular routing device (if you think it should have better reception) when pairing by using the drop-down box options other than “Permit join all”. Do this with the device in it’s final location, after you have added all the routing capable devices.
Hello, I tried it a few times and the devices would not pair unless I chose the ALL mode. I was looking for a parameter that I had forgotten to initialize for a router.
Is it better to follow the following sequence:
1 - uninstall all devices including routers;
2 - install one by one the devices near their final location.
Thanks for the advice
Attached is the window of my routers. It is obvious that Zigbee2MQTT recognizes them.
Another question:
You say that during a manual repatriation “the other parameters will be memorized”. Does this prevent from changing the router?
Even after setting “disable” ZHA, it doesn’t seem to change anything. I excluded a device “Aqara water leak” and tried to reassociate it to router “Aqara 1” but without success. When I told Zigbee2MQTT to proceed with an “ALL” association. The device associated very quickly with the “coordinator”.
