I am new to Hubitat with a C8 hub. I can't get these to pair to the hub.
It's always easier to understand your situation if you post some pics.
You might need to go to Hub owners - Hubitat , join the group and then you'll be able to post lots of them.
There has been more than one occasion in the past where the device inside the box was Wi-Fi not ZigBee.
Can you check for new SSIDs when it's in pairing mode?
I have a few of these in my house, but called Zemismart, they look exactly the same and even have the same box. Some inside and in outside buildings. Never had any issues with them connecting.
I remember connecting the button on the left first and then it registered as a parent device and then the other buttons appearing as child.
I have many wifi APs as it's a large house and concrete. These are the only devices with this new C8 hub. They are ZigBee not wifi. I'm trying to pair closest to the hub, maximum 2 meters distance.
I have confirmed they are ZigBee by a) box clearly marked, b) Tuya app tried to pair by wifi and blue and doesn't work as expected as they are ZigBee.
I am not permitted to post pics or I would have, it's forum admin rule apparently.
Please tell me what I should try next so I can make this work?
I do not consider myself an expert with Hubitat but I can ask a few questions....
By "Many Wifi APs" do you mean Zigbee APs? The strength of your WIFI network is (I think) not relevant to this scenario. But given you are trying to connect a switch so close to your hub I think referring to any additional APs is not relevant.
Do you have any other Zigbee devices running on your Hubitat? If so this would indicate the switches as a problem rather than Zigbee connectivity more widely.
It is. Please read the link in my response that is directly above yours.
Zigbee and 2.4 GHz WiFi use the same frequencies. WiFi signal strength is much stronger than Zigbee, so it is very easy to drown a zigbee signal. Therefore, while designing a robust zigbee network, it is vital to choose a zigbee channel that will not be interfered with by channels used by 2.4 GHz WiFi networks in the same environment.
Mostly 1 and 11, I could mostly disable 2.4ghz. There is no wifi AP within 10 meters of the Hubitat C8 and less than 2 meters between hub and a switch that is not detected.
I also have a C7 that I intend to mesh and sync at other end of the house, but we aren't past step 1 yet.
