I think something is wrong in my Zigbee network (again). I supect there is a repeater that is misbehaving - but let me give some specifics. I have a Kwikset 914 Zigbee lock (5 of them, actually) and this lock randomly stops working - cannot lock/unlock from web device. Manually locking/unlocking …

[image] bobbyD: Both Interesting. I am surprised (and curious) given that would seem to make Zigbee 3.0 security (TCLK exchanges) pointless, but that's irrelevant to this topic. Thanks for confirming. [image] DarellCraighead: i need some help here please Can you try hooking up a goo…

[image] hubitrep: In your place I would also experiment with power level 4 on the hub. I started here. Then... [image] hubitrep: Can you try hooking up a good quality / known to be good repeater Zigbee outlet to an extension cord and set it up as close as you can to the garage door lock…

[image] hubitrep: Something cheap to try is to capture the zigbee logs for a few hours and dump them in an AI chat with a short description of your issue and suspicion of a defective repeater device. Get the logs - got it. then copy/paste them into AI of choice and ask it what? [image] h…

[image] DarellCraighead: copy/paste them into AI of choice and ask it what? I just tried this a bit ago, and I asked Gemini to "Analyze these Zigbee logs. I am not having any particular issues, but would like to know the health of my Zigbee mesh. " I should have pasted the analysis, but did…

[image] DarellCraighead: You really lost me here - can you provide specific instruction on this? The HE hub provides a means to view/retrieve the complete stream of incoming Zigbee messages (as seen by the hub). You can see these directly on the hub admin interface at http://<hub ip>/hub/zi…

Amazing response! I use Edge, and on Mac, but close enough. I have logs capturing now and will upload them to CoPilot in the morning. I can’t wait to see what it finds. FWIW - I have a few ThirdReality devices too - interested to see if they are doing the OTA thingy.

Well, it appears the only "issue" with my ZB network is the fact some edge devices have weak signal - not surprised and I do have solid mains-powered repeaters positioned to support those devices. Curious what my network looked like before I replaced that garage light switch!? ▶ Summary

[image] hubitrep: AI tools are good at parsing these logs and figuring out what devices are doing and can even identify problems This prompted me to finally unplug the mmWave sensor from the network. LQIs for other devices immediately shot up. The sensor was taking up 90% of network message…

Can you mention the specifics of your light switch? I have horrible issues myself, and they come and go - its been going on for years and through more than a couple hubs. (and 3 houses). I wonder if I don't have a bad Mains repeater somewhere that takes a crap and my world goes sideways. I've a…

So the switch i ruled in as causing at least one issue (i think there were more issues not discussed in this thread) was an Enbrighten (Jasco/GE) ZB3002 ZB 3.0. Which makes me wonder if the problems I was having mirrored many other folks saying C8pro and ZB 3.0 "have issues". The switch i replaced…

maybe AI is your friend? What I did once before is pull your device list up and copy it. No doubt theres an easy way to do it with json and the maker API, but I just plop it into excel and clean it to get the device name list. I'll ask gemini AI to ID which ones are ZB 3.0 edit: Well - that was…
