Wired router/repeater to existing Zigbee2mqtt network #415

Closed satel-kalletuulos closed 1 year ago

satel-kalletuulos commented 1 year ago

I'm planning to build zigbee network to old house, which has very sturdy concrete floor between basement and living floor. I tested, that normal router/repeater mechanism, relaying on AC powered devices, does not work reliably. Commands (e.g. switch on light) from living floor to basement don't always go through. For WLAN, there is no problem, as I have installed TP-Link Omada based managed WLAN with wired APs. Basement has its own wired AP.

This is not WLAN interference issue, as WLAN is on different channel to Zigbee. This is on rural area, there are no other WLAN networks nearby.

Would it be possible to add a wired router/repeater to existing Zigbee2mqtt controlled zigbee network? This would work same way as normal AC powered router/repeater, except it would have also wired (or WLAN) network connection backbone.

It is not possible at current stage. Zigbee stack explicitly uses 2.4GHz radio waves as medium. But, You can use wired coorinator to talk with, using Serial-over-IP
