I have around 40 Zigbee devices that I would like to add to my Homey Pro. 95% of all the devices in the house have main power connected to them, so they show up as Type: Router. I have seen here in the forums that Homey Pro 2023 has a limit on how many router devices it can connect which it looks like I have reached… how do I add the rest of my Router Devices? from what I can tell it won’t let me add more because it is a router device and not a EndDevice. or is there something else that is the problem and this should in general just work? help? ---

All sockets and all light switches/dimmers are smart and will of course act as routers. I have only two single end devices. If I add more than ~20 routers the system is sup…
