Hi everyone,
apologies I didn't notice this had been updated so much since my lasts posts.
for some reason the batteries drained quickly and I kept having problems with the remotes dropping off so I eventually moved them back to hue and they have been rock solid.
to get round the issue of using them for other functions I just installed some RF ID tags in the housing for the dimmer which is attached too the wall, there is 3 tags in each light switch so that gives me 3 extra functions that can be triggered by my phone which is fine as I was using them for wake up and bed time routines as well as the lights so it is a bit of a work around to my original use case.
I also have 3 Zigbee hubs,
Smartthings on channel 25
Hubitat on Channel 20
Hue on Channel 15.
I have 2 wireless access points at each end of the house using channel 1.
I also had some issues with Xiaomi door\contact sensors which were dropping off every so often, I found on another thread on here it was due to them not being zigbee compliant and there is certain zigbee repeaters they dont work with, so I moved the smarthings plugs back to smartthings and bought a few ikea tradi wireless outlets and now the Xiaomi sensors are rock solid on hubitat.
This was after I moved the dimmers\remotes back to hue so I am wondering if they might work on hubitat now as I had problems with the hue dimmers dropping off from both smartthings and hubitat so it seems certainly related to the remotes and the signal getting back to the hub via the repeaters.
I am wondering if the remotes are not as compliant as they should be and dropping off due to this similar to the Xiaomi sensors, if I get time over the weekend I will maybe pair one back up to hubitat to see how it goes as al of mines were far from the hub and had to issues dropping off.
Might be worth listing what zigbee repeaters are being used too as that can be a factor, See link could be a similar issue I just don't have the technical know how to understand if it is the case or not.
