New second C-7 Hub

💬 Lounge

I just purchased a 2nd C-7 Hub for testing.

  1. Can the hubs be in the same room or should they be separated?
  2. Should Zigbee be on a different channel?

Thank you

Same room is fine, unless your two Zigbee networks are broken up geographically within your home (I.e. first vs second floor, or east vs west, etc…)

Definitely use two unique Zigbee channels. Channels 15, 20, and 25 conflict the least with 2.4GHz WiFi (which should be restricted to WiFi channels 1, 6, and/or 11 with 20MHz channel width.)

You can also use the Hub Info driver to keep tabs on what channels are configured on each hub (amongst many other details)
