I have been using my Yelow for about 4 months now. I have issues with the zigbee radio. When I connect devices they start going unavailable within hours. I have a Zigbee smart plug within a meter of the yellow so this could work as a router. Would Zigbee to MQQT help? When I connect my Sonoff stick it works great.

Thank you Hedda
My Zigbee radio in the Yellow is working great now
i connected a zigbee smart plug right next to the Yellow and this is acting as a mesh extender
Looking forward to Matter!
