I’m trying to pair a xbee 3 as a router with ZHA using a conbee 2 as the coordinator. However, the interview process starts and never finishes. I see the following logs during the process.

I can see that it’s trying but for some reason it’s failing. Any ideas?
I think I got it working. I used the following settings for the xbee 3.
ZA: 2
NJ: 5A
EE: 1
EO: 02
KY: 5A6967426565416C6C69616E63653039
NO: 3
BD: 57600 [6]
AP: Transparent Mode [0]
A0: 3
SP: 64
SN: AF0
The only major difference from all my other attempts was setting the AP parameter to “Transparent Mode [0]” where as the digi-key docs (Zigbee Home Automation | Digi International) that digi-key support sent me shows AP should be set to “API Mode Without Escapes [1]”.
With my current settings I was able to pair the xbee 3 with the conbee 2 and I have verified that devices are connecting to it and routing through it.

Hello aldur80. Despite this thread is a litle bit old, I hope you can help me to solve a problem with XBee modules. I have a HA with Raspberry Pi 4 model B and Phoscon Raspbee II as ZHA coordinator. I would extend the network range, since some of the recently installed sensors (Aqara door sensor and Aqara movement sensor) are unresponsive. For this purpose, I want to use Xbee S2C modules (used previously in another project) acting as routers, but I wasn’t able to connect with the coordinator. Some of the parameters you listed in your post, doesn’t appear in my S2C modules. I suppose that these parameters appear only in the Xbee 3 family, and only this group of Zigbee modules are able to connect with ZHA system. The question is which model of Xbee 3 is suitable, or which one have you used in your system? (Zigbee, 802.15.4 or DigiMesh).
Thanks a lot and excuse the inconveniences
