Interesting to hear the anecdotal feedback on these devices. Mine are stable, but I have my own method of syncing the devices back from a Xiomai Aqara HomeKit hub to HE. I do have two Aqara Leak sensors, one Mijia Motion sensor, and one Aqara Temp/Humidity sensor that are directly joined to my C7. They are stable, but they were stable on my C3 with the Nortek stick too. I am careful about what goes on my Zigbee network. No bulbs paired directly to the hub, and only IKEA Trådfri plugs and repeaters. I once had my temp/humidity sensor start to fall off every week or so when I moved one of the Trådfri outlets. I moved it back and it's been stable for over a year now.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm on Zigbee Channel 13. Does it matter? It seems to somewhat, but I'm fairly certain that your environment and what 2.4 GHz signals you have going on around you are a big influence on the outcome. When I moved to a C7 hub I tried channel 15. All my direct connected Xiaomi devices were happy except for the Mijia motion sensor outside at my front door (covered of course). So I went back to channel 13 and it's happy again.
So I'm curious what everyone reporting good results is running. This has been discussed over and over, but I cannot recall ever seeing a poll. So here's an unofficial round-up (yet again 
)
- Hubitat Elevation C3/C4 with Nortek stick - I use compatible Zigbee repeaters.
- Hubitat Elevation C3/C4 with Nortek stick - I don't use Zigbee repeaters.
- Hubitat Elevation C5 -- I use compatible Zigbee repeaters.
- Hubitat Elevation C5 - I don't use Zigbee repeaters.
- Hubitat Elevation C7 - I use compatible Zigbee repeaters.
- Hubitat Elevation C7 - I don't use Zigbee repeaters.
