hey

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

pip install git+https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-cli.git is all you need then

#

Make sure to disable your Zigbee integration

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

no pip

#

its the HAOS command line

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

You aren't in the HA Docker container then

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

core-ssh

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash gets you into the HA Docker container

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

so I have swapped my main wifi to channel 1 and the other to 11, so no local wiofis chould be interfering

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

WiFi isn't the only thing that interferes

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 3:55 PM

docker command not found

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 3:56 PM

You are using the wrong SSH addon then 😆

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

yes

#

you want shell

#

one sec

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

You want the SSH & Web Terminal addon with protection mode disabled. There are two. One doesn't give you access to Docker.

Did you configure your SSH public key?

It should start with ssh-something

It's a SSH public key

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:17 PM

nahhh doesnt need it

ok done

You're going to have to provide more context here

"Didn't work" doesn't mean much 😆

It worked fine

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:20 PM

ok

#

so command shoudl be

#

zigpy radio znp /dev/cu.usbserial-1420 energy-scan

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

Not quite. The /dev/ path is one you fill out. Run ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/

#

And use /dev/serial/by-id/the-long-id-for-your-stick as the /dev/ path

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:26 PM

No, it would be /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead...

#

Or just /dev/ttyUSB0

LMAO

How many devices are on your network?

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:29 PM

#

not that many, but could be neighbors

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:29 PM

#

Any routers? Or just sensors?

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:29 PM

#

1 wifi router and 1 repeater

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

I mean Zigbee

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

on zigbee ?

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

Channel 15 isn't looking very good

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

ahhhh 14 devices 1 cordinator 4 routers and the rest battery temps

#

and door sensors

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

I think you should try channel 20. Run zigpy radio znp /dev/ttyUSB0 change-channel -c 20 and it'll change the channel.

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

shoudl I change my wifi router to something else

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

If you can do that, sure. Keep running the energy scan and move your WiFi network to channel 11

#

You should see the big lump on Zigbee channels 11-15 disappear

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:33 PM

#

https://imgur.com/a/UTxJaPt

#

wow

#

that has made a huge drop

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

That might be better. If not, see if you can move both WiFi networks to channel 1

#

And then 20 or 25 might clear up more

#

But if moving WiFi to 11 is enough, you can just leave it at that

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:35 PM

#

11,12,13,14 are under 10

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

You generally want to stay away from Zigbee channels other than 15, 20, and 25

#

For maximum density, WiFi routers usually try to pick WiFi channels 1, 6, or 11

#

The only Zigbee channels that fall between them are 15, 20, 25 (and 26)

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:36 PM

#

the upper end is awash with next door nieghbors wifi

#

I think the massive spike I had has moved to the other end now 20+ onwards

#

ok lets see how the zigbee does

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

You should be able at this point to just ctrl-c to stop the scan and re-enable your integration

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

yep done

#

now its a case of wait, or can I force a refresh ?

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

It should immediately be obvious

#

Zigbee doesn't know about WiFi, it just sees that the channel is very noisy

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:42 PM

#

hmmm hue light is not getting seen

#

I am guessing the mesh needs to rebuild

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

It shouldn't

#

You CTRL-C'd and stopped the CLI tools, right?

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

terminated the ssh

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

Is ZHA actually running? Can you control any device?

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

yes

#

cisualisation shows everything near enought connected to everything, but this is usually misleading

#

as its not real time, as its just what the device has connected to in the pasty

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

The visualization isn't showing actual connections, it's showing what sees what

#

And is refreshed every four hours

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

I have two router s26 power sockets lieterall 10 ft apart

#

one works, the other wont

blissful scroll Dec 13, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

Unplug both of them and plug them back in

round brook Dec 13, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

done

#

became unavailable

#

wont connect to the stupid router that is 10 ft away

#

it did start workinf perfectly on sunday no issues then mon and today just decided not to link

#

I purposely have one s26 socket at the back of the house, so it can travel the 10 ft to the room below it

#

this si why I ask if there is any way to force it into a rebuild of the mesh

#

and btw thanks for all this help

#

nope not playing at all

#

will go down and tinker
