I’m using the ConbeeII stick on a RPi3 and recently a few of my zigbee devices has just dropped out of the zigbee network. Only battery powered devices from what I can tell. I can delete them and add them again, and then they work for some time, maybe hours, maybe days, but they all just stop reporting any status updates.

I thought perhaps updating ConbeeII to the latest firmware would help, but it appears it didn’t.

Anything I can do to fix this? Other than buying a new stick of a different brand?

Do you have it plugged in via a USB extension cable, or directly into the Pi? I had some flakiness with mainly my battery powered stuff until I plugged the stick into an extension cable.

It’s directly connected to the pi.

I don’t think it’s the signal though since one of the devices that disconnects is in the same room. No more than a meter apart, and another device is just on the other side of a wall.

Is there some other kind of magic happening when you use an extension?
