Good info. Channels above 20 have always been problematic for me. So I'm on 17 and 18 now (wifi 20 MHz width on 1 and 11).
I have one hub with all Ikea repeaters and Xiaomi devices. The other hub has all of my other zigbee, including a samsung outlet (known to be bad for Xiaomi).
Hopefully mine will be coming in soon. Hasn't been a shipping status update on either order for 10 days, so who knows where they are?
Mine didn't update until they showed up at Customs in Chicago and from then it took 4 days (probably because yesterday was Sunday).
Edit - Also, first time I've ordered something from Banggood/GearBest/AliExpress that was clearly examined by US Customs. The box had been opened, couple of sensors were unpackaged/repackaged, and that box had US Customs tape sealing it.
So, I got mine a few days ago.
I put it right next to a centralite and a manual device.
It's close, but not exactly the same as those devices.
However, it has continued to report, and has not fallen from the Zigbee mesh. (Since November 13th, when it was first included.
I pronounce this device a winner!
Thanks for all the updates. Ironically, my Aqara sensor hasn't fallen off since my last post here. I guess my threatening it worked
I'm still on lucky channel 13. Have been since the beginning, and my test hub is on channel 20. Interesting note about the preferred channels for Konke. Same boat as you @aaiyar. Way too invested in my current channel 13 to rock that boat. It's been working so far, so I wouldn't want to change it for one sensor.
Pertinent to your question that made me try my "Peanut" Hubitat, according to getChildAndRouteInfo, Konke Temp/Humidity sensors can route through Peanut plugs.
Edit - also, without your having urged to try both Hubitats, I would have only tried the Tradfri Hubitat, gotten frustrated, and tossed them in the garage catch-all junk box. So thank you!
Funnily I tried the Peanut Hubitat first; they pair so quickly and in place. I tried all kind of crap with the Tradfri Hubitat. Right next to the Hubitat. Reboot the Hubitat. Next to a repeater - nothing worked, so I googled .....
That GitHub link I found has three people on it stating they had to change to a supported channel (15, 20, or 25) to get these things to work. I'll bet if my Tradfri Hub was on Channel 15, instead of 23, it would have worked.
The real test of the claims on GitHub will be when @JasonJoel gets his Konkes.
And not like it was a major investment or something. If you end up not using yours, and mine stay connected, I'd be interested in buying a couple off you.
The temperature readings are very accurate. Don't know about RH yet.
Thanks. It is RH that I’m interested in. I have temp sensors all over and don’t use those values from any of them. My need is modest: A sensor that measures RH, communicates with HE, stays connected, and preferably is small.
The RH readings look ok, but I don't know if they are accurate. I will find out by Friday. I've got a psychrometer/thermometer/hygrometer but it's loaned out to a friend.
The battery readings are off. Only two of them are reporting battery levels. One is at 67% battery and the other is at -67% battery.
