Hi there! Possible i can find the answer somewhere but i just don’t know how to get the answer. My small question: do Ikea zigbee lights (e27) mesh up with Zigbee devices from the Xiaomi Aqara series? Do the doorsensors use the light as a master? Thanks in advance. Grtz, Joey

I do not understand your question? Mesh up? Im using both and they are working perfectly. What do you mean by, using the lights as a master?

Mesh up and not mess up… different brands on the same Zigbee (mesh) network will strengthen the mesh network: a battery powered sensor can use a light bulb to reach Homey… So indeed they will work together…

They should, but in my experience this doesn’t happen as well as you’d expect. Every ZigBee device seems to connect straight to homey without mesh forming.

It will work after the rewrite of the Homey Zigbee software. For now every device will connect directy to Homey as far as I know…

I think all your devices are battery operated, only a mains powered Zigbee device can act as an intermediate device.

OK, should have added the second half of the screen (below). Indeed, battery operated nodes can/will never act as a router. Makes sense since if they would, their batteries wouldn’t last the day. So, having established that there effectively are some routers in the mesh, I thought the value “0” w…
