It’s possible but I don’t know
Can I select zigbee channels for coordinator, like I can select Wi-Fi channels in my router?
If yes, do I need to re pair all the devices?

IDK why the zigbee is mapped like this
After i reconnected for example washer plug, and restarted some repeaters, the maps looks different, some meshing now. Is there a way to control / force it?
as for dup channels, i put here an image of wifi scanner app from my phone
the one marked in blue is Z2M2
the one marked in red is Z2M1
strangely - they both show same channel 1
KEDEM* channels are my access points
harpak_AP imarked in green s from my neighbour , and at least to this scanner it shows same channel as Z2M2/1. I cant ask him to change channels
I went to my Z2M2. and Z2M1 advanced settings - but there it shows channel 11 for both … not sure what is correct
i dont mind re-paring if it solves the issue, but what channel shall i pick ? in settings it shows channel 11 but in real, at least according to my wifi scanner app, it shows channel 1. Can you advise?
Is there any particular reason you are running two parallel Zigbee networks? You might be better off re-flashing one of the coordinators to a router and join everything into one network. Less disturbances, more routers.

Z2M1 is in basement
I was hoping to cover rooms there with it
How do I configure it as router (repeater)?
I want first to try switch channels, for Z2M2 since its first floor and have more interference from outside
i dont mind re-paring all my devices are accessible for that
I dont understand why my scanner shows channel 1 where in settings it shows channel 11
You flash the “extra” coordinator with router firmware and join that to the existing Zigbee network. Depending on some variables you should have no issues with coverage over some floors, my network extends to my detached garage 10-15 meters from the house with no issues. What coordinators do you have?
i put it here at top of this thread
its tasmota sonoff gateway
I’m not familiar with that one. I would try just removing the extra coordinator, and repair all the devices that was paired with that to a single coordinator. Pair them in the order of closest first. Do the battery devices last, after you’ve paired all mains powered ones.
OK ill try to find online guids how to configure it
what about changing channels? i just pick one in settings?
Go with the one that’s already set, see how that works.
Your ZB-GW03 should not really be using WiFi, but since it is broadcasting it obviously does.
See if you have 2 DHCP-listings for each in your router.
so i tried changing channels of Z2M1 to 15
now it hangs on startup …
not sure how to fix this?

it says why in the text you pasted. Just leave the channel as is, see how it works.

what does it mean remove backup?
Delete the backup file in the zigbee2mqtt folder.
coordinator_backup.json

OK, now Z2M1 is running with new channels
I was able to re-pair 2 sensors
a third one (flood sensor) which was paired and worked well before jI changed the channel ust refuses to re-pair

any idea to fix this?
Do the sensors last.
