Yes, a limit of 20 directly connected devices (so devices that are connected to Homey directly and not through another Zigbee router device in the mesh).

As with any strange issues with Homey: pull the powerplug for a good 15 minutes and see if that cures it.

Have the exact same problems. Hue dimmers (added directly with the Hue Zigbee app) stopped working months ago.

Tried all the tricks in the book. Nothing helped.

Suddenly the other day all them started working again. Had put them all away because they didn’t work but by mistake I pressed on and it worked.

They worked perfectly for a few days until I had to reboot Homey due to cutting power to the hole house… Since then they are all dead again 😕

Damn it’s annoying. I have no idea what causes this weird behavior.

I ended up resetting the Zigbee network and adding everything again. Haven’t had problems since.
