Been seeing some drop outs on my zigbee setup for a group of devices I have in my garage. The garage is about 8-10m from the house and I have samsung plugs (repeater) in both the house and garage with the best possible line of sight. On ST these have been working fine in the present locations for ab…

I don't see anything in Zigbee Logging... ???? [Screenshot_2019-08-09-11-29-19]

[image] patrick: If the lqi is 255, which means no or low noise, and the rssi is under -90 (closer to 0 is better) you are good. Thanks for the info, I was thinking that -70 was a little bad.

So today i moved my wifi to channel 6 (from 11) as otherwise 11 was quiet. I then moved zigbee to 25 in the hope it would have less interference. But although the lqi value is consistently 255 (improved from channel 15) I get worse rssi (high 80s) and the zigbee devices in garage are not visible. Wi…

RSSI values should be negative numbers. That's why -90 is a weaker signal strength than -40. Signal strength is represented in -dBm format (0 to -100). This is the power ratio in decibels (dB) of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt. Generally, anything -60 and above ( meaning -50, -40, e…

And some devices, specifically battery powered devices regulate their power output to conserve battery life. This can result in changes in RSSI depending on radio power state and activity. For example, on join / pairing mode, devices typically run at full power to make sure they can see the neighb…

[image] JDRoberts: RSSI values should be negative numbers. That's why -90 is a weaker signal strength than -40. Signal strength is represented That makes a lot of sense, thanks for correction. I tried 25,22,20 and all seem to result in rssi values in the mid -70s, but not able to see the dev…

As a reference, some devices does not accept the channel change immediately, some must be re paired, in the next update some fix for that is coming but not every device changes the channel without any human interaction(reset). I suspect you have a couple of devices in the garage that they are not ch…

Hi vjv, I have been mostly focused on the samsung outlets which I can get to force the channel change by holding down the button whilst turning on power. Actually once these are connected everything else comes to life very quickly.

2 xbee installed, one in garage and one in house, seems to work a treat. Rssi is -74 and switches in garage have been reliable so far. I ended up getting some xbee2 units from mouser and usb adapters off amazon. Configured as OP and worked straight away. Although it's a bit odd as the xbee never …

As a bonus i no longer need 2 of the the switches that were used as repeaters, more automation opportunities lurk.

are these xbees hard to implement? Are they as easy as any other zigbee device or do they need programmed?

Everything Xbee ⚙️ Custom Apps and Drivers

Since Xbee devices were taking the Xiaomi devices - are they pairing / staying connected for you? thread off track and info is scattered between here and the SmartThings forum. I figured I would create a thread for everything Xbee related. You can display Xbee zigbee network scans as a graph like this [Xbee%20graph] or a table like this [Xbee%20table] These are great little devices to use as routers to extend your network and for mapping out your zigbee network. They have made my Xiaomi…
