Hello I’m relatively new to Zigbee and I don’t understand the messaging I’m seeing. I have a soffit light (one of ten) that has gone off line. The light is currently on though not indicated as so in HA. The remaining nine lights are online within HA. I’ve included a picture of what I’m seeing and I…

Can you give us more information about your setup? ZHA integration, by the look of it. What coordinator, how many mains-powered devices, how many sensors? Have you followed all the usual advice about putting the dongle (if you have one) on the end of an extension cord etc.

[image] Stiltjack: how many mains-powered devices I don’t think mains-powered devices applies to his particular situation. I can barely make out that the lights he’s using are Sengled, which don’t route zigbee signals on purpose. The better questions to ask are: Is this particular light t…

I was being tactful. The real question was… Have you got any routers at all? :grin:

Hello Thanks for reaching out. I’ll try and answer all the questions. 1.) Has been working flawlessly for since install fall 2023. 2.) Sengled don’t have any routers built into them - first thing I learned :slight_smile: so I went out and bought four Sonoff Zigbee power switches which I believe h…

Hmm. maybe try the Add devices via this device on your plug 3 device page: [image] Putting your dongle on a usb extension cord wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Four routers is not many, and 7m is quite a long way. I’m a fan of trying the easiest solution first - I would buy three or four more routers (those little USB ones aren’t expensive) and see if they make any difference.

Thanks for the suggestions. Stiltjack - Could you please give me an example of the USB repeaters you mentioned? Second question. I believe to add the Soffit Bulb #7 to plug 3 I have to put it into pair mode. This means: 1.) removing the bulb and taking it to the lab where I can set it up in a la…

[image] ShadowFist: Wait. You’re switching off smart lights using a dumb switch? Are you? Because thats a big No.

[image] ShadowFist: [image] mcoulton: All 10 are on the same power circuit and can be turned on or off by a single wall switch Wait. You’re switching off smart lights using a dumb switch? I wouldn’t make that assumption, but then just about all of my 50+ smart bulbs are on circuits tha…

I have half a dozen of these - they seem to work very well.
