Doesn’t exist yet even in the xiaomi home app. So probably it will be available soon, but it isn’t yet. ---

hi, my zigbee mesh network looks like this. ![Zrzut ekranu 2020-11-27 o 07.09.09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/0/102ccbe8fbee9dab57f9a25f0689b8dbc4b5fd09.png) Upgraded to v5 few weeks ago. I have no problems with adding new devices or any already added device. Should i reset network and add one by one once again or i don’t have to do it. Now i start to do flows and i don’t want to make it again if i have to reset network in near future. Thnx for help. ---

> [@rvdeijk](#): > > Probably you have to delete (one or some) end devices first, to give Homey some space. Then add this Philips Hue (router) and then add the end device(s) again that you removed. That did not do the trick. Do appreciate the help. Deleted one battery powered device to add a router in the form of a Phillips hue bulb with the hue zigbee app. Still can’t add any zigbee device. So no philips hue bulb, no Aqara Opple 6 button nothing. Do I need to reset zigbee and redo all flows?? Or should I work on my patience and wait for a fix. Hope I don’t have to redo the flows, I’ve got quite a few… ---

Yes the app is installed and running I added 2 other xiamo devices a switch and door contact sensor and they both work fine. It just the light sensor that does not want to function. ---

@TedTolboom, just by any chance and based on your expertise - in my case ALL of my Aqara/Xiaomi devices are purely routing via IKEA routers **only** _(at least based on 1st look on development page while I know each device might have different mesh/paths_) and quite intensively ignoring several Philips Hue Zigbee lights/routers (permanently powered). It even lead already to loosing some of the Aqara devices and I had to re-pair them (duplicated device method with Homey reboot was ok) - also till I reconnected another IKEA Router, the pairing was not successful. Do you think it’s : 1 - because Aqara/Xiaomi devices are so picky and we can’t do anything about that 2 - because there might be some problem with Philips Hue app / implementation influencing routing (…which I guess it nonsense as it’s not driven by the app, correct?) 3 - because again Athom did something wrong 😉 ? Please note some of the devices have still ? status even after 1 month yet they work fine (and those are not the ones which lost connectivity). I’m on 1.1.4 and v5/rc44. ![obrazek](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/3/a30ab8f5530493388fc4ee63fb08a50b8ecce782.png) ![obrazek](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/6/d6f24b93e293e41bdb5e589528a835fd86d18b80.png) ---

It is worth the try. But when you do, please start with the routers first. When the routers are added, you start with adding the end devices. If I’m correct in V5 you can add the devices on the spot where you want to place them, so not close to Homey. Probably then you have a higher chance the end devices will stick to a router instead of all to Homey. I believe the flows will break, but you can fix the flows by adding the device again in those flow. I believe you don’t have to re-create the whole flow. ---

My Homey is in repair right now so I can’t show the screenshot, but with Homey firmware v5 RC38 I had several Aqara sensors that routed through a hue bulb or hue smart plug. Pairing through a hue router was way easier than through innr sp120’s or direct. I do. ow own Tradfi, maybe the’re faster responding? ---
