I am expanding the number of Zigbee devices and want to be sure both WiFi and Zigbee have the best performance. My 3 WiFi access points are on channel 1, 6 and 11. So these are in the optimal configuration It seems Homey is on Zigbee channel 11, so interfering with WiFi channel 1. Zigbee channel 26 seems to be te best channel, not overlapping any WiFi space. However I can’t find a setting to change Homey zigbee form 11 to 26. Anyone got this working? ---

That’s not possible atm. ---

As @Martijn_Hoogenbosch stated it is not possible. This link can help you setting the best channels; > [@Make the most of your zigbee network](https://community.homey.app/t/make-the-most-of-your-zigbee-network/13067): > > A little help to optimize your zigbee network. To start with, Zigbee in homey is on channel 11, WiFi’s three non-overlapping channels (1, 6, and 11) use the exact same frequencies as ZigBee channels 11-22. Other hubs, like tradfri and hue, can also ‘live’ in other channels. Try to set them.all to 11, and make sure you sort out the best wifi channel to use. This means that you need to optimize your wifi / zigbee network. This could solve Wifi dropouts, and zigbee not working correct. This will… ---

Hmmm, that’s a pity. I only have one other bridge (HUE) that is also on 11, so that’s fine. Also not aware of any issues on WiFi or Zigbee, but I would like to see them not working in the same space to prevent issues while both my WiFi and Zigbee network gets busier. Hopefully a future add to Homey Zigbee settings. ---

@homeypro What about a possibility to set all, or some channels, without complete resetting everything. A function like the Philips Hue brigde? Will this be made? What will be the ETA? What support do you need? Looking forward to any reply with interest. ---

Hi Steven, Your question is about Pro2023 related I think? The Pro 2016-2019 models have a channel selector, without the need to reset zigbee in order for Homey to search the quietest channels. btw @homeypro is not an Athom employee I think. ---

It is added to the request list. For me personal extreme strange that this was not yet on it… We will see what the future brings… After a long time
