Did you change the battery till the device doesn’t respond? Or you change it before the battery is completely dead and does not reporting anymore?
For my case, my battery is seems completely dead and it has stopped responding to the zigbee2mqtt before changing the battery.
Yeah I think taking the batteries out for as short a time as possible would be wise.
I changed the batteries because I wanted to update the firmware 
I did not succeed with the old batteries.
Anyone know how should I connect the external antenna to the CC26X2R1?
Do I need to “solder” the antena to the board?
Do I have to do anything else?
I’ve looked information about it, but I have found little information.
Basically this:

But I don’t see those C24 and C14.
Anyone more experienced with this boards that could help me?
How do I connect the external antenna?
How do I “select” it?
Here a picture of the board with the “unattached” antenna.
Thank you!
I looked at this (and found those posts in ti.com) but couldn’t figure it out either, Mine has enough range for now anyway, but it would be good to know the answer!

I know it’s referring to ZWave rather than Zigbee, but the same principle applies: it may be more reliable - long term - to stick with a dedicated hub.
I have not found any such mqtt issue with z2m.
If you can guarantee that the connection will never dfrop, then you will not hit this. However, the fact is that it fails to cope with flaky connections: which many networks will have occasionally.
You’ve tried this on zigbee2mqtt?
Hi, I just built a second zigbee router with CC2530+CC2591 and paired with my CC2531 coordinator. It’s working fine with the second router with LQI ~130. I have a first working router with the same hardware and before the second router installed, the first router LQI is always 70+.
After installing the second router, the first router LQI starts to vary from 130 - 70 and I believe when it shoot up to 130, it is actually routing to my second router, but it is not consistent. The physical distance of the router and coordinator are like this: coordinator --> second router --> first router, where the first router is the most far from my coordinator.
May I know is there anyway I can force the first router to route its signal to the second router? This is because there are few devices are still connected to my first router and its LQI is only ~70+.
Here is LQI over time for my first router. It vary from 130-70. I tried to do a hard reset and after that, it always stay at 70+.
Did you give it a go? I am now thinking about connecting the same to HA.

Ive moved from Xiaomi hubs to a conbee / zigbee2mqtt setup over the weekend but I have an issue with my quality.
All my devices show very close to the same lqi despite being scattered around the house. They also all increase slightly over time.
Any ideas please?
Thank you
No worry, as long as they work.
did you ever solve this, could find any info sorry.
Thank you.
Conbee support in Z2M is still experimental.
Same here, the lqi keeps getting higher and higher till its the max (255 or so) and then everything goes back to 0 and builds up. Each day it goes from 0 - 255. I haven’t experienced issues though with reaching or controlling devices. I hope conbee will be out of beta soon though.
Have a look at
Zigbee2mqtt are aware of issue but it is a problem with conbee as below. Would be great if you could add your comments to the below thread if experiencing issues too.
Hello,
Do you know how to reset philips hue bulbs with zigbee2mqtt?
I don’t have a hue bridge or a hue remote control only the bulbs.
I read that there was a procedure with the six digit serial number written on the bulb but I did not succeed.
If anyone has the info …
Thanks to all of you.
