ZigBee plugs and hue lights mesh issue

[sidjohn1]

@Paul_Fitzpatrick

if I have Philips hue bulbs and the bridge connected to SmartThings but also have some ZigBee plugs connected directly to SmartThings would these two essentially be on different ZigBee meshes?

Yes, this is exactly correct
Depending on the channel they could be directly interfering with each other or with your WiFi.

Changing ZigBee channel

Hello, I’m having some potential issues with device congestion on my WiFi network. I’m aware that changing the WiFi routers channel to 1 or 11 can help with this, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to change which of the 16 ZigBee channels the ST’s hub and connected devices use. Thanks
