That would be a dealbreaker for me as I already have far more than 48 devices. I like the concept though.
It seems that NWK_MAX_DEVICE_LIST needs to be increased in the CC2531 firmware to support more than X number of devices. We need some expert to optimize the CC2531 firmware as I donāt know how to do this.
is this 3 minute report configurable down, or a fixed value?
thanks for this project - it could be a gamechanger for me as my tek cupboard is starting to swell with hubs and bulky psus!
Uh oh! Iām ordering the USB adapter, Iām in!

This is a hardcoded value in zigbee2mqtt, however a nice feature to have is to make this device configurable.
i totally agree - it took me a while to find the parameter in my aeotec zwave pir sensors, but once i did, and dropped it down to 15 seconds, the sensors values became much more usable in my automations.
were this configurable in zigbee2mqtt It would open up these cheaper PIR sensors to loads more users!
Looks like maybe a hardware limitation of the memory in the SoC on the usb sniffer:

Iāve created an issue for the device limit: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/26 and for the PIR sensor timeout: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/27

Love this, Iāve ordered the devices to give this a go! Hopefully I will be able to configure the Hive smart home devices.
Surely the point of dynamic mesh config is to keep everyone in touch with the ācontrollerā. If you have multiple instances then each one will have a mesh, and if you place them cunningly there should be no issue with losing nodes.
Can I use the HUSBZ-1 USB Dongle with this application?
No, only CC2531 for now
Well, that kind of planning would still be counterproductive.
My Zigbee network is a work in progress and new devices are being added continuously. Iād soon run into problems with wanting to add a device to a network that is already filled up - thus having to move already added devices between networks.
I live in an apartment and have limited space and no real outdoors area, still Iāve in short time acquired ~45 Zigbee devices. People with a house, garden, garage and such would fast run up to 100-150 devices and having to balance that out between 4-5 separate controllers is simply not practical.
Yes, those are good points.
I was thinking the same route. I actually have two sticks and already started testing based on the latest update made by Koenkk: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt-hassio-addon
Iām on home assistant discord as Marius#8788, so ping me if you want to team up.

I didnt see that @Koenkk started a hassio addon - Kudos!
Its better if @Koenkk will provide an addon as the integration will be better, and dev cycle time shorter.
When I get my cc2531 stick I will be happy to contribute as best I can!
Great to see so many like-minded hassio users 
Your addon is definitely more advanced than my start or the OPs.
CC debugger arrived nice and fast from China to UK.
Now where is that CC2531?

I am trying to decide which Zigbee solution to go for. What is the maximum number of children devices for a single coordinator for Zigbee2mqtt? I am planning to have 15 sensor and just one coordinator (the CC2531 controller). Thanks
