hi - please speak to me like I am a young child- this is all new to me. I've paired a sonof SNZB-04 contact sensor to my C8 hub and it seems to be falling into sleep mode. I have it set to alert me when the contact is closed state. I dont really understand how to interpret the logs -or 'ping' the…

Welcome to Hubitat! The Tuya contact sensors have worked well for me. I have one on each door going to the outside, https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqP0iNw These are the Tuya repeaters I use. https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0x9Biu When I bought my first device (Kwikset 914 lock) to pair with HE, it was f…

My hue bulbs go via the hue hub then an integration on the C8. The scenes/groups are added to my C8 only not the individual bulbs because I have a lot of them. I have 2x hue hubs (upstairs and downstairs) and these do their job fine. (most of the time) I'm gradually integrating the C8 and using th…

This also caught my eye. Is it going to be problematic? Can mount it higher up and run a usb extension to it. Deal of the day: SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDongle E Gateway with Antenna for Home Assistant, Open HAB etc, Support Data Flow Control https://amzn.eu/d/4sU9e0j

It is good (maybe even better than the tiny Tuya repeater), but requires re-flashing .. [image] How to: Flash SonOff USB Dongle to be a Zigbee Repeater/Router & Set Transmit Power Devices I wanted to flash a SonOff USB Zigbee dongle to use it as a repeater (SonOff refers …

Ok, cool, I've got one myself that I'm not using, but don't have a need for it as a repeater. The flashing was a little painful for the other one I am using as a coordinator for Z2M (one's a P and one's an E variety from memory), but once you get the hang of it, it's ok...
