Just throwing another 2p into this pot. My new Xiaomi-only mesh, the backbone of which was simply...
- Hubitat C-7 on Zigbee Channel 23
- IKEA Tradfri Signal Repeater E1746
...was working perfectly with all battery-powered Xiaomi devices I've written drivers for (ie. absolutely no mains-connected models). In a fit of enthusiasm, as they were largely controlling Samotech SM308 switch modules (which are in turn all routers) over hub mesh, I thought I would move an SM308 onto the Xiaomi mesh to see how things fared.
While not a disaster, I moved it back. Some devices dropped but re-established themselves, demonstrated by "lost presses" at first, then working perfectly again. Some devices required resetting and then they were fine too. Oddly, WXKG12LM buttons were the most upset and I found they would drop multiple times, but would re-establish a connection without resetting.
Instead I've simply added another Tradfri E1746 repeater to extend the range. Zero problems, zero drops.
