So I have three bulbs in a chandelier (the bottom one is actually the color version of the E11-G13). When these lose communications, they usually don’t come back unless I “wake them up” by turning the light switch (normally taped down during this testing phase) on and off to force a reboot (not a full 10x rapid reset but just a soft reboot by turning the switch off a few seconds). If I was to leave a bulb like this alone for a week, would it ever come back online, or is the experience usually that when a device discoes, it never comes back with a “reboot”? The one that went offline first appeared to have a better zigbee connection than the later one to go offline, so I am not thinking the weak signal is what caused it to go offline.
What are they routing through (if anything)?

They are not as my routers seemed to be messing things up, so I wanted to run for a couple weeks without routers before I added them back in. The bulbs are all in the same fixture, so I am surprised to see the difference in signal quality, but that is all part of my data gathering before I introduce another variable (the routers) back into the network.
Are those your only three devices connected? This reads to me like you’re hitting a device limit somewhere.

You may be right. I have around 28 Zigbee devices total – so I am getting close to the limit of a ConBee II. Maybe time to introduce one new router. I think I’ll do that now.
