Everything Xbee

my settings that differ from yours
ID = 0
TO = 0
KY = 5a6967426565416c6c69616e63653039 (will read back blank due to security)
SP = AF0
SN = 130
AO = 1
PR = 07FFF (DEFAULT)
PD = 07FFF (DEFAULT)

you have paired the Xbee to the hub? put your hub in pairing mode and then power cycled (unplugged your Xbee and plugged back in) and then the hub should find a new device. Save it you can name it whatever you like.

@mike the Xbee will just appear as a device no special DH is required.
I have never seen a DH for it.

I changed those settings, the hub can't find any devices when i power cycle the device.

what zigbee channel are you on?

Channel 19

channel 19 should be fine (I use 20 but then you would have to rejoin (not add) all your zigbee devices).
ok so basically it is not paired to your hub now correct?
until it is paired to the hub it will not detect any devices in a scan.
try rebooting your hub and then try adding the xbee to the hub again.

Yea its not pairing. What do you have configured for CE? Might be the problem?
I restarted and it's still not finding anything.

CE is set to "join network 0"

Well in my settings it just says: "coordinator enable" - 0 disabled -1 enabled

yes coordinator is creating a hub you do not want to create a hub you want to be a router.

Yes im now able to add it to the hub! The different settings were the problem. Anything else i need to check?

no now that it is added go into XCTU and add the Xbee on the left and then select the Xbee and switch to network working mode (top right corner) and then scan.

you should see all your zigbee devices that are connected to your hub/coordinator (Hubitat)

You can display it as a graph like this

or a table like this

Yes its working like a charm! Thank you mate for your time :smiley: Lets see if my devices keep better connected

no problem

This only gives you the map as well as acting as a router for other devices.
You can also determine if some devices do not work well as routers for other end devices (cause devices to fall off).

If devices are not staying connected you will have to determine how you want them connected say for example if you want to connect a specific device to the Xbee then to the hub, or just directly to the hub.
The only way to force them to connect the way you want is to power all other devices (that you do not want to route through) off then re-join the device you want to until to routes the way you want.
Then power all the other devices back on.

How do you know if it's still connected ?

Mine shows up in the device list as status: unknown.

unfortunately they will always say unknown until a DH is figured out for them.
The only way to tell is to take the Xbee's zigbee id and look at the XCTU scan and see if it is connected to the hub/coordinator.

:joy: The latest delivery date. Thought Mouser would be better. I was wrong again. :grimacing:

@SmartHomePrimer

I suggest you check out these folks. I received my board within a week. This was back in early August.

Part # XB3-24Z8UT-J
PRODUCT XBee3,2.4 Ghz ZB 3.0, U.FL Ant, TH MT
PRICE $17.50 $17.50

If you want the pro version you will have to get a surface mount they are still in stock with a pcb antenna XB3-24Z8RS or a XB3-24Z8US with a U.FL antenna but then you would need a surface mount adapator (or from mouser) and not a through hole adaptor.

I am still waiting on back order for one more XB3-24Z8ST as well.

I'll just keep waiting. Finding their ever moving delivery times somewhat entertaining. I have plenty of other projects in the meantime :wink:

Same error I got, I was having it connected but not routing properly. It was showing as end device. I found about 3 different parameters suggested, I keep trying different combinations. Getting it paired was very trying. Anyone figure out this error?
