I have both a C-5 and C-8 hubs. I am trying to add a Sonoff S31 Lite Zigbee Smart Plug to my C-8 Hub. When I start the Zigbee pairing process on the C-8 hub, it finds it and is stuck with: Found a Zigbee device, initializing... But it never completes. If I do the same with my C-5 hub, it is found …

This is a crazy solution. The C-8 should just work. I would like to hear from @support_team as to a real fix rather than the hoops people are going through. Also, if there was a way to transfer the device between my c5 and c8, that would be at least a start.

LoL :crazy_face: I bet if you roll back to like .113 things would get a lot better. They're doing some really weird stuff with the Zigbee.

Are all the zigbee controllers running on different channels? If not, you expect pairing problems.

I have my two hubs on the opposite ends of the channel spectrum

Good Point, though mine are running on different channels. First thing I make sure of whenever I turn on the Zigbee radio.

I have a sonoff dongle P version coordinator running on home assistant VM that you can pair any of these problem devices with without doing any crazy one legged jumping jacks. :crazy_face: I'm thinking it's a chipset problem in the C8. There's known issues with it. I'm sure the hubitat team will get…

It's not just a sonoff outlets either it's all types of devices. I'm guessing the Hubitat team needs to pick their poison with the Stacks. Either have some motion or whatever battery powered sensors drop off most likely because of not so great repeaters or bad mesh. Or go with the new stack and not…

[image] shawnx1: Oh and what's up with the C5/C7 Zigbee Polling now? Somethings changed my batteries are getting hammered. Can we get an option to turn it off? Or am I mistaken and everything is the same? nothings changed in this regard. [image] shawnx1: sonoff Zigbee outlet so far we…

[image] mike.maxwell: so far we aren't able to reproduce this issue. The problem is these people were the ones with the issue. I had at least four sonoff outlets paired to a c8 just last week with no issues. Now they won't pair on a fresh C8 Zigbee radio. I replicated the same problem these g…
