So i read somewhere that zigbee lights don’t forward non light messages…and it was recommended to put the lights on a different coordinator to avoid them forwarding messages they can’t handle.
Is that true ? I always thought i was strengthening my mesh by adding bulbs, but it seems this is only for lightbulbs ?
There are concepts of ZHA v. ZLL but i dont think thats what they’re talking about. (and yku likely dont need to be concerned about it)
Here, they’re actually referring to Sengled bulbs in that article. Sengled made a strategic decision to no allow thier bulbs to act as repeaters. (Personally i like it, makes network planning easier when people might turn a bulb off). Sengleds will always be end devices. The author chose the wording ‘bulbs may or may not repeat’
