I bought 6 Philips Hue bulbs. 3 of them are installed near my USB Zigbee stick and 3 other bulbs are further away like this:
USB Zigbee stick -------- First 3 bulbs (lamps zithoek) ---------- Other 3 bulbs (lamps keuken)
I read that the Philips Hue bulbs extend the Zigbee network so I suspected that the ‘Other 3 bulbs’ from ‘keuken’ are connected through the ‘First 3 bulbs’ from ‘zithoek’ to the USB Zigbee stick.
The Zigbee2MQTT has a map feature to display the communication:
The ‘Other 3 bulbs’ (lamps keuken) are working fine but:
1/ I don’t see any communication line between these bulbs and other Zigbee items
2/ There signal is very weak while the ‘First 3 bulbs’ are just inbetween the USB Zigbee stick and the ‘3 other bulbs’
Has this to do with configuration?
Any help will be appreciated!
All 6 bulbs are powered. At the time when I took the maps screenshot the ‘connected’ bulbs were ‘off’ and the ‘unconnected’ bulbs were ‘on’ with 10% illumination, so this can’t be the problem. Thanks anyway for your idea
Tick all of the boxes, there will be some kind of connection. Also as it is a ‘mesh’ network the types and links of these connections will change over time as the devices become aware of each other, their various signal strengths, interference etc
