Just before Christmas I paired my Hive Smart Plugs with Smartthings. I then noticed various door/window sensors and TRV’s had gone offline throughout my home.
I live in a 3 storey house, the Hive v2 hub is in the basement and the hive plugs were extending the zigbee signal up the other 2 levels to the various window/door sensors & TRV’s located on them.
I paired one of the Hive smart plugs back to the Hive Hub and got connectivity back on all my battery operated Door/Window sensors and TRV’s.
So my question is am I right in thinking that the Hive Smart Plugs need to be paired to the Hive Hub in order to maintain zigbee extender functionality within the Hive mesh network? Is there a way of overcoming this please, so that I can have my plugs paired to smartthings but still be able to have them extend the zigbee signal to hive TRV’s, motion, door/window sensors?
I have the DTH’s installed for Hive TRV and Hive Active Plug by alyc100. Thanks
