I’ve been having consistent problems with several of my Smartthings 2nd Gen motion sensors. The sensors become “Unavailable” and I’m forced to reset the sensor, remove and add it back in. I tried to repair the Zigbee network, but it’s doesn’t look like it’s doing anything. These used to be very stable, but now they’re becoming a major headache.
Anyone have any ideas?

Try adding a ZigBee repeater between the sensor and the hub and replace the battery.
Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot to mention the batteries have all been replaced and the sensors are within 20 feet of the hub, would a repeater be necessary?
I’ve read that 2.4 ghz wifi can interfere with ZigBee. I was using channel 3, so I switched to channel 8. I’ll report back what happens.
