Hi Guys, With the ZigBee improvements in Homey Firmware v5 and reading about all tips for building and fixing a good ZigBee mesh network I wanted to know how big ZigBee Meshes grow on Homey and how Happy the Homey users are with it. To collect all Data I ask you to run a HomeyScript on your Homey …

[image] prosumer: Can I safely ignore this warning with my setup? Homey only knows of one ZigBee Network, if it works for you, it just test you have one router for every five end-device as advised by Athom.

So you have EndDevice , which are battery powered, yet they have receiveWhenIdle flag ? I don’t know if that is alright or not but after I have removed and added again that particular device, now NONE of my battery operated ZigBee device has this flag… at least based on Homey Developer

I have 4 aqara sensors @ Homey zigbee and works perfect without router/hop. Upstairs, down the hallway, the “back kitchen” 6 metres away from Homey with walls in between. Homey has free sight in the living room and sits 1.80m high. Not that I recommend an other setup as Athom advices, but just to s…

[image] prosumer: it also changed the channel from 11 to 19 Hmm, why would Athom do that, anyone knows the reason? Is it is just random, a new default or can they scan how crowded a frequency is. My zigbee is very stable on Channel 11. I am however doubting to reset the zigbee network for thi…

Some time ago I changed my router setup to use WiFi channel 1. I was not aware of the WiFi/ZigBee overlap… (thanks for the picture!) WiFi channel 6 is the next least crowded here (after channel 1), so ZigBee channel 19 might be better than 11 in my new setup?

If you now run your Zigbee on 11, there is a (small) overlap with Channel 1 of wifi. If there are lot’s of other wifi networks and they are mostly on Channel 6 and 11 maybe …

Off-topic, although it’s good to have the answer here, cause this zigbee health script will mention that you have a well-known key and the only solution to change it, is a zigbee reset. Which could result in a change of used zigbee channel (frequency). That could have effect on the zigbee health. …
