Zigbee devices dropping out of the network (self.homeassistant)

submitted 1 year ago by CAVOK to c/homeassistant

I'm using the ConbeeII stick on a RPi3 and recently a few of my zigbee devices has just dropped out of the zigbee network. Only battery powered devices from what I can tell. I can delete them and add them again, and then they work for some time, maybe hours, maybe days, but they all just stop reporting any status updates.

I thought perhaps updating ConbeeII to the latest firmware would help, but it appears it didn't.

Anything I can do to fix this? Other than buying a new stick of a different brand?

What are the devices dropping? Certain brands don't always follow the full ZigBee spec as they should and often have issues when not paired with their proprietary hubs. Aqara is the classic example: their hub works brilliantly with their devices, but pair them to a standard ZigBee stick and you're at the mercy of the ZigBee gods.

Yeah, Aqara devices are the ones I notice dropping out. They just recently started dropping though, that's what I thought was weird.
