Description
All,
I have been trying to move my ~100 devices to Home Assistant from Hubitat for several months without success. I started with Insteon, moved to Smartthings, then Hubitat, then Hubitat + HA. Now I'd like to get it all on one platform.
The problem is, I am getting device unavailable on random devices in my network. I am an RF engineer and have been trying to figure out what the deal is. All devices are within 20m of a router. The coordinator is within 10m or 10 routers. Most links show very high quality in HA, but in XCTU it is a different picture.
I have tried both conbee II and NORTEK HUSBZB-1 with the latest 115k Firmware. I have a XSTICK2 joined to the network for troubleshooting.
I think that one or more of my Router devices are black-holing traffic. I am getting weird symptoms like the following:
- Device joins network in < 10 seconds. Works for 24 hours perfectly, then goes unavailable.
- Device status in HA dashboard is accurate, and shows on/off events live. If you send a command however, it never gets to endpoint. So HA is receiving status updates, but can't send commands.
- Router Device will show power consumption correctly, but not respond to events.
- Device that worked for 4 weeks goes unavailable. When repaired it works great for another 4 weeks.
- HA reports 255 LQ, XCTU disagrees
90% of my devices are JASCO / GE in wall dimmers and switches. I also have a pile of smart plugs from different manufactures that I can use for additional coverage or Christmas lights depending on the time of year.
I am not sure this is the right place to post this but because bellows does Source Routing, I thought this community might be the place to get involved.
So my first question is: Where would I jump in to docs for creating a route mapping python script? Is there a FAQ on source routing? I am reasonably familiar with Digi's ZigBee docs, but I haven't written anything beyond simple P2P communications.
I'd like to build some doc and tools to help the community better understand their network and allow me to consolidate on one box.
