I have been suffering from losing devices on an off, general instability… having only about 3 days of uptime before something stopped working. It annoyed me not knowing why… so i started to keep track of variables that were triggering it. The only thing i could pinpoint was if lots of people were i…

When I get home I will take a picture of my 4 devices. I actually used old ADT security contact boxes. Kind of hide all the lights so as not to be too noticeable.

They will not repeat. That is why I no longer have any Xiaomi sensors in my network. I also use the Visonic for temperature with my own DTH.

Just want to chime in here and say that with inspiration and information on this thread, I got an XBee S2 ( eBay US $16 ) / Waveshare USB Adapter ( Amazon US $14 ) connected to my Mac and mapping my SmartThings & Hubitat Zigbee mesh just great. For some reason I had to use a baud rate of 9600 to initia…

Hello Keith @veeceeoh , @adam_walker has been able to use his xbee(s) as router(s) for xiaomi devices and have them stick and keep working. I haven’t, even after using his settings and many variations of them. My xiaomi devices connect and work initially, then drop after like they would with any o…

All good to know, @AlecM , thanks! My goal is to get my Xiaomi devices working with my Hubitat, and since it also has a 32 device limit, I’m going to need at least one or two repeaters. Having the XBee will make it a lot easier to find out if the Xiaomi devices will “play” well with my Peanut Plug a…

Well done @tpmanley I was going to suggest the same thing, after a few weeks of trying various profiles, I stumbled across some literature relating to those two values, I increased them, and no issues since. It relates to a “sleep” value.

[image] tpmanley: That should be more than enough to keep the XBee from thinking the Xiaomi device has left the network. Out of curiosity, do the SN and SP parameters relate to the potential issue that Xiaomi devices have with End Device Aging, as you described last year in this post ? Or are …

I did a little research on the model of XBee I bought to see if it’s programmable, and thought it may help to share a little insight on the model designations. Mine which is silkscreened “S2” is not programmable. The units which are programmable would be silkscreened S2B or S2C. Programmable means …

@AlecM Have you tried adjusting the SN and SP parameters on the XBee? I haven’t tried this myself but I’d suggest setting SP to the max value of 0xAF0 and SP to something like 130. That should be more than enough to keep the XBee from thinking the Xiaomi device has left the network.
