adam333 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 weird. system with an EA5 about 60 devices. has been working great for several years. Certain programming events are screwing up occasionally now. Such as my "all off" doesn't turn off all lights. My "away" doesn't shut the garage door sometimes. I can control the c4 switch, garage door, and the wemo plug all fine, individually through the c4 ap. any ideas how to make it 100% reliable again? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What OS are you on? How are these devices controlled ? Thanks M Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBill Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I had a device that was interfering with the ZigBee and changed channels and that fixed it. I also had too many (more than 70) devices and had to have another device to support the other half of my devices as the number of hops was too many to be reliable.

adam333 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Bill, I like the idea of changing the channels, but why would controlling the individual light work 100% I think it may be over taxing the EA5 when 60 devices are firing, maybe its bogging it down. will try switching channels first because thats cheaper and easy.

Go for channel 25, it will fix all Zigbee issues u might have. SMHarman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam333 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Mujaba, I have rebooted. I forgot the OS number but its pretty recent (not the most recent) 2 of the devices are controlled by the paid wemo driver. 1 is controlled by the c4 switch LD1 i think is the model. and then i have a axxess wireless relay to operate the garage door.

BAS Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've been having similar strange issues. How do you change zigbee channels? Do you need Composer Pro to change channels or is this something I can do with HE? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shupp872 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have had the same issues where my 'all off' isn't turning off all the lights. If i look at the app after this happens, it shows that the lights are off. I have to toggle them in the app, then it re-syncs the status.

Just curious If you get the channel changed do you have to re identity every zigbee device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you most likely have some interference too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i have a button linked to a lighting scene. I will take a look, thanks. I did recently install a couple more access points and based on this, i suppose I could be getting interference from the 2.4 ghz band, depending on channel.
