Zigbee Mesh Strength

[rcjordan]

Based on repeated recommendations here, I switched to channel 20. (C4, large house, 2 floors)

Zigbee and Zwave Channels

Zigbee channel 20 seems to be the most common used and recommended channel. Reason is it sits between Wi-Fi 2.4 channels so less conflicts. I’d start there and if you encounter issues you can always change it. Stay away from 26 because some Zigbee sensors don’t work with it and it’s also a weaker channel.
