Hi Peter. Thank you for thinking along! I have approximately 20 routers and 35 end devices. There is also one router close to the woox. It’s interesting as it seems to be triggered by something. Perhaps a restart of homey? My zigbee mesh should be optimal. Also when I move the woox closer to homey it doesn’t start working out of the blue, seems like it simply forgot the entire device. ---

YW! Do you restart Homey often then? Zigbee mesh has to build itself up again after a restart. I never restart Homey, until all other options are’nt of use. I only restart apps with a “growing memory usage” problem. Oh, you have ** ~~45~~ 55** (according to Robert 😜 ) **devices**?

Alright alright, all max amount devices aside, this is the only one that has problems. To me that doesn’t point me to a general zigbee problem ---

It is odd indeed, but Athom does not say (and know) WHAT exactly is going south, don’t you agree? So this issue still could be a result of a ‘too big’ mesh. Other Q’s that pop up: Is it your only Woox device? Does it have any metal or metal screen (chickenfence f.i.) between the nearest router device? If it’s possible, can you get your hand on an other Woox device, just to see if that fails or not? ---

Good points and questions :)! So this is the only woox device. It is approximately 2 meters away from its first router. This router also services other devices without problems. ---

It sounds like a faulty Woox then. ---

Does it have brand new batteries, and do they measure 1,5V each? Use a voltmeter pls, not the app info. This may sound stupid, but batteries which haven’t enough energy left, can cause a lot of issues like this. New batteries don’t always have enough juice left, don’t say “I just unpacked them, so they are ok”. ---

I’ve had to re-add the device three times. However, since my last post it’s been up and running like a charm. No idea why it struggled in the beginning, I didn’t change batteries, just deleted and re-added it every time. ---

Hi Wolter, As the thread is from last year I am not sure if you are still using this Woox watertimer. If yes, maybe you can answer this question. If you push the buttons on the woox, is it possible to start a flow then? For example: IF the manual on-button is pushed THEN start the waterpump. And do I need the woox hub to connect it to homey? Thanks ! ---

So, the flowcard: if “woox is turned on” is available and is also triggered when turned on manually? Is the woox added as a generic zigbee device then? ---

Thanks for the tip @Wout_van_den_Dool! Just bought one. I already have a LinkTap on the main connection outside. LinkTap also has some security extras that I like and more options in the app (also the weather). And LinkTap has been made more sturdy. This Woox come between certain pipes because certain parts of the garden need less water than the rest :). So I can turn that part off.
