Zigbee Connection

[YseanY]

Is there a way to force a zigbee node to connect to a certain path? I have an Axxess wired motion sensor that keeps dropping connection and won't reconnect until I power cycle it. Once powered up, it connects and works properly but after a very short period (within 30mins or so), it drops. The connection shows good signal but thought maybe I can try mapping it to a different node might help. Or is there a way to heal the zigbee mesh?

Unfortunately u can’t force anything with one mesh, u can force having this device connects to another ZB network if u have 2 for example.

Got it. I already have 3 diff mesh set up with 3 controllers. Maybe I’ll try moving the controller to a closer location first. Just very odd that the connection shows up healthy but drops and doesn’t reconnect. I have nodes that have much weaker connections that are very stable.

Frequent dropping, especially with 'sleepy' devices, can actually occur if there is TOO much of a signal, in the sense that if there are too many nodes nearby, a sleepy device may constantly jump nodes.

This is one of those cases where you may be better off using a mesh that is NOT as close.
