No, I don't have any ZigBee routers, just the Aqara sensors. My home is pretty small, so I didn't think I would need them, but I am leaning towards that being the issue. Last night I paired one of the sensors again, right next to the controller and left it there - literally 5 cm from it. It has stayed online so far, which is more than it usually does.

Weird thing is that I have another sensor in that same room just like a couple meters away and that one keeps dropping. Is ZigBee's range really that short?

What criteria should I follow to place the routers? One per room should be enough?

Thanks! There definitely seems to be a network map view on the desktop deConz app, but I am using the Docker version of deconz and the only way I have to manage it is through Phoscon, which is the web UI. I really don't see how to use the desktop app to manage my Conbee controller, since it is installed on my NAS, not a PC.

I'll keep investigating.

I'll check, but I haven't seen anything like that in deConz.

Yeah, ALL my devices are Aqara at this point.

So... It should be good if I am using WiFi 11, shouldn't it? Not sure if I am missing something.

How can I check the signal strength for the devices? Indeed these are my only devices on the network. No routers.

One of the sensors is a couple meters from the controller, direct line of sight... And still drops. Does it need to he closer?

How can I see how everything is connected or check the signal strength at the devices?

My wifi is on channel 11, while ZigBee is on 15. That shouldn't overlap, right?

 

I recently setup my ZigBee network in Home Assistant, using a Conbee III with deConz on my Synology NAS.

I purchased a few Aqara Temperature sensors and a couple of Mini Switches.

I was able to get them to pair just fine, but they won't remain online for more than a couple days. They then drop off and I can't even reconnect them easily. I need to try to pair them again like 10 times before they come back online.

At this point I don't know if the problem is my network, the Conbee III, deConz, or the Aqara devices.

I don't know much about ZigBee, but a couple things that I tried so far were:

  1. Use a USB extender instead of connecting the Conbee III directly to my NAS.
  2. Bring the devices as close a possible to the gateway. I don't have a big home, so I don't think distance is a factor here, but still, I put of the sensors right next to the gateway, and it would still drop after a while.

Do you have any hints on things to try to get this fixed, or at least identify the problem?

Do you have a source to that?

In Spain, it is common to say that you got a "cucumber-y" watermelon when it is not sweet.

He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.

I love that one of the arguments against this analogy, shown in the Wikipedia, article is the following:

the only way a teapot could have gotten into orbit around the sun would be if some country with sufficiently developed space-shot capabilities had shot this pot into orbit. No country with such capabilities is sufficiently frivolous to waste its resources by trying to send a teapot into orbit.

... what a time to be alive!

 

well... that sucks!

I am looking for online master degrees and came across TECH, with an incredibly granular offering and excellent reviews in sites like Trustpilot or Emagister. Their prices are also very competitive.

The more I tried to find information about them, the shadier things looked. The vast majority of the opinions about them are very favourable (suspiciously so), but some are straight up scam accusations. No middle ground.

Has anyone had first hand experience with them?
