ZHA Coordinator migration CC2531 to Conbee II

[Hedda]

I already had a Conbee 2 that I was using with DeCONZ.

Recommend migrate again a newer (non-Conbee) CC2652P or EFRMG21-based Zigbee Coordinator adapter for Zigbee and then repurpose the ConBee II adapter for Thread (i.e. Matter over Thread devices), see → OpenThread Border Router (OTBR) RPC firmware for R21 based ConBee II and RaspBee II and https://smarthomescene.com/guides/how-to-convert-your-conbee-ii-stick-into-a-thread-border-router/

I think my issues were that I was running ZHA and DeCONZ at the same time. Even though everything was using different zigbee channels, I think there was too much interference between ZHA, deCONZ and Phillips Hue causing devices to constantly dropping offline as a result.

Regardless, read and try following all the tips from this guide as taking actions in advance will save you a headache later → Zigbee networks: how to guide for avoiding interference + optimize using Zigbee Router devices (repeaters/extenders) to get a stable mesh network with best possible range and coverage
