Ikea Tradfri Repeater - Latency #2963

Closed rufinus closed 4 years ago

rufinus commented 4 years ago

I recently bought some Ikea Blinds - the work as expected. With the blinds they ship small usb plugable repeaters. (Type E1746)

I thought why not and added them to my zigbee mesh. Adding them in phoscon worked with no problems.

The problems started a few hours later. There was a noticable latency in the whole Zigbee Mesh. Aktivating a light in phoscon could take up to 6 seconds befor the light activated. No matter if the bulb had a connection via the repeater or via a other route. Sometimes the commands even doesnt execute. the deconz gui showed nothing out of the ordinary.

A few minutes/hours after removing the repeaters the mesh was back at a normal speed.

I dont need the repeaters - so i dont have a problem with not using them - but maybe someone is searching for long latency and this may give some pointers.
