Zigbee ventilation does'nt switch off

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi, I have a zigbee switch on my attic that has 3 outputs to control ventilation. So, I can switch to 3 different speeds and totally off. The automatisation works and switches on/off on a time. But now and then the zigbee connection doesn’t come through. Like at 17:00 o’clock the ventilation has to switch off from the highest speed. ( high speed make a noise ) . But sometimes it does’nt switch off, and then I have to do that manualy.

Is there a easy way the change the automation that it controls the status of the switch with time/speed table.

the time/speed table is:

at 07:00 off
at 10:00 speed 3
at 17:00 off
at 23:00 speed 2

In the automation I set the time equal 07:00 to set the switch off. But if the zigbee signal doesn’t reach the switch it is still turning till 10:00 .

Can somebody point me how to change the automation to solve that problem?

Start by showing said automation. If you have trouble with Zigbee commands not going through you will need more routers.

The attic is super isolated and there is a router 1meter from the switch in the attic at the stairs where there is no isolation and the next router is 3 meter from the attic router.

Still, if you have trouble with zigbee traffic this is something you should look at.

For zigbee, you might have a look at this extensive guide: Zigbee network optimization: a how-to guide for avoiding radio frequency interference

Thanks, I have a look to the zigbee routers.

If I make a zigbee map in home assistant, I get a map result in 15sec of all the 31 zigbee nodes. And they are all connected to another.

I have a zigbee relay module with 8 relay’s and if I send an automatiton to switch off all the relay’s ( 8 different commands ), sometimes not all the relay’s are off. The relay module and the home assisant nuc are in the same room. So there is no problem of bad zigbee connection. Is it possible if there are other zigbee modules sending info at the same time I send my commands that there is an interference? So than some info is lost.

So the solution is to send 2 times the send off instruction to solve that problem.

7

How many of these route?

You can see the logs live, what do you see when you send the switch off commands? For reference I switch of 20+ zigbee devices at the same time daily, no issues at all.

8

I have 14 nodes that also route the zigbee signal.

This is what I get in the log if I set the 8 relay’s off. In the script are also 2 extra nodes : a dimmer and a plug for a lamp. Now everthing went like it should be.

.Perhapes I put some extra routers around.
