Just added a hue bridge and 3 bulbs. Ever since adding the 3rd hue bulb I'm having zigbee mesh issues with Hubitat devices.
I'm beyond stumpped. Hue is on zigbee channel 11, hubitat zigbee is on 20. The last hue bulb I added, all the motion and contact sensors near it fell off.
Reset and re-paired one of them, worked for a bit then fell off again.
That could be just coincidence. I am running 50+ bulbs on Hue (channel 25) and as many Zigbee devices on Hubitat Elevation (channel 20) and never had interference issues between Hue and Hubitat.
move your Hue bridge to channel 25.
I know 25 is supposed to be lower power, thinking hue might might be too powerful?
I think 25 was the default. I moved it to 11 thinking I'd get it far away from Hubitats channel I could. I also put the bridge in a different part of the house from my Hubitat.
Double check the Hue bridge channel. One of my Hue bridges changed channels on its own a while back. I was running Hue on 20 & 25, HE on 19 and 24 without issues. Hue on 20 changed to 11 at some point and I just left it. Nothing broke so I didn’t try to fix it.
I just changed mine over to 25.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree thinking hue caused my issues, but the timing fits for the only changes I made adding that 3rd bulb.
Of my 3 devices that fell off, one came back last night on it's own. I'll try to reset and re-pair the other two again today.
Check your router. Maybe the wifi channel changed.
I just did this morning actually.
Just reset and re-paired the motion sensor in my porch, reports fine for a few minutes then falls off again.
I think I'm going to unscrew that new hue bulb for a bit and see if everything stays normal or not.
[EDIT]
So something I just noticed. This motion sensor that I'm currently fighting with, the "Type *" on the device page keeps turning red. Soon as I hit save, it goes blue and the device seems to work again.. A few minutes later if I go back to the device page, it's red again.
