We have indeed released v2.0.6 of the Develco Products app to the test environment of the App Store.
Together with Athom we looked into the issue where only partial data was reported, which turned out to be a deeply covered bug within Homey’s Zigbee core (affecting not only the Develco Products app), that is resolved with RC62:
Fixes issue that ignored errors from Zigbee bind request
If you experienced these issues (partial or no data reported), it is recommended to remove and re-include the device after updating to Homey v5.0.0-RC62+ and Develco Products app v2.0.6.
In addition, the v2.0.6 update also adds support for the Air Quality Sensor.
@Sendjeberge We’re looking into the issue of loosing connections with certain Zigbee devices.
Please note that this is not only limited to Develco Products devices, also with other brands similar issues have been reported on this forum or on Slack.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to reproduce this issue on our setup(s) on Homey v5, unlike the issue with the partial or no data being reported.
Since this type of communication (controlling the Zigbee network) is handled within Homey’s core and not the Zigbee apps, we are depending here also on Athom’s support. But we’re working to get this one resolved as well.
Providing the Zigbee mesh overviews and Athom diagnostics reports is helping to get a better understanding to resolve this issues. Thanks.
I don’t know the positioning of the devices to one another… I do observe that all devices depend on the Zigbee repeater.
It could be that the repeater is needed to bridge the distance between Homey and all other devices (simply due to distance); but that would mean that Homey is positioned at the far end of the house and all other devices are at the other side of the house.
It would help me in understanding this problem if you could try two options:
Add the DP wall plug at close proximity of Homey and keep it there.
Does wall plug still connect in the mesh to the Signal repeater?
Does the wall plug still disappear from the network?
Disconnect the signal repeater
Allow for the Zigbee mesh network to settle for some time
Add the DP wall plug to Homey and does it then still disappear from the network?
Removed the Ikea Repeater.
removed app, installed again, it is not showing experimental.
Is it correct to use 2.0.6?
Now tey are not triggering when i push the button.
But will se how long they will stay in the network.
So far i have added only one device.
Let me know if you want me to add more.
Added one more Develco plug, left the network after 5 hrs.
Added again, renamed it just to see the different.
Currently i have two same wallplug connected.
The strage thing is the Questionmark ? on the routing, can that be a issue?
Did the route appear after some time or still a ‘?’
I have a network with more than 15 Develco devices including smart-plugs and work fine without leaving the network. Also creating mesh between each other
