I also have problems with ZHA and Zigbee. I am loosing devices, but also routers (!). Even the ones close to the coordinator.
I’ve added an even longer cable to the SkyConnect. And my Zigbee network is quite evenly throughout the house. Routers the furthest away (garden) is very stable) but the Aqara T1 LED strip (3-4 meters away from the Skyconnect) is loosing connection (as some battery powered devices; which are relativly close to routers).
I don’t know what to do…
I had the same devices (with less routers) when I was on Homey, and that was very stable).
This is my network:
I see that some (battery) devices are unavailable because of routers being unavailable. But there are other routers nearby. Why isn’t it picking up on that one?
Some time later, this is the status:
- I have extended the distance from my SkyConnect even further: 1 meter away from usb ports.
- Wifi is dedicated on channel 1.
- ZHA is dedicated on channel 25.
- There 27 routers and 23 end point devices.
My Aqara LED strip, my aqara T1 (no neutral) and a tuya temperature, an aqara temperature and an aqara door sensor is falling out from the network.
I shut down my HA-server for 45 minutes and powered it back on the rebuild the Zigbee network. The unavailable Aqara T1 (no neutral) who was unavailable was back available, but later that day it was unavailable again.
I dont have a clue what is going on and why routers (!) are falling from the network?! What is there left to do to get a stable network?
