I recently changed zigbee coordinator moving from a ConBee II to a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. It would seem that all my LQI values for my ~90 Zigbee devices have decreased and that devices are not seeking a better (higher LQI link) route. In a few cases I reset and included the battery devic…

Here’s some info regarding ZHA and changing channels. Changing the zigbee channel - Configuration / ZHA - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io) Zigbee Home Automation - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) Zigbee Changing channel · zigpy/zigpy Wiki · GitHub I too have been having lots of co…

@billyjoebob999 Thanks for the links. I referenced those pages too in my research and attempts but unfortunately I made a mistake (did not verify that the channel config was saved prior to reforming the network) and landed back on ch15 however something has changed as it appears to be working better…

@aruffell Did you ever find a solution to the poor routing with the Sonoff coordinator? I think I’m experiencing the same thing. Devices will not route through routers, they drop off the network rather than route via routers that they have in direct line of sight.

@imagio - I moved my coordinator to using ch25 and things got much better. I then updated the coordinator to a newer beta firmware release which also appeared to help as more than double the devices now had a direct route to the coordinator. Before the update, I believe it was limited to 23 or so di…

Thanks for the tips! Unfortunately I’ve already done all of that and the problem persists.

Where did you find the beta version? The newest version I can find is CC2652R_coordinator_20220219.zip from 10 month ago.

@COUBOT - Back your stick up just in case… this is where you can find the beta release: GitHub - Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware at develop develop Compilation instructions and hex files for Z-Stack firmwares

Hi Tom, could you please share which application/integration did you use to get that picture with your zigbee link qualities? I’m looking for something similar to optimize my network and that would help. Thanks a lot in advance.

Meanwhile, a long time later I reply… It is indeed. It is all to do with SNR or Signal to Noise Ratio. If you whack up the gain, you whack up the noise the same amount. Better antenna and lower power is best. My Sonoff is actually mounted vertically, but upside down from a metal plate on the ceilin…

Zigbee devices with poor LQI, not finding better routes that I am certain exist
