I have the square HUE hub and HA Yellow with its Zigbee controller. I have about 10 HUE lights in adjoining rooms, each within 4 feet of another light. My automations work but some of the lights routinely go "unreachable" and so do not trigger with the automations. I've tried changing the zigbee channel from the HUE hub but it does not help the problem. The lights are well close enough to one another and to the HUE hub. How can I fix this to be more reliable other than using a wifi wall switch to turn them on instead? I'd rather be able to control them individually since many are on the same wall switch.
#Hue lights going unreachable how to fix?

I have the square HUE hub and HA Yellow with its Zigbee controller. I have about...
what are you actually using as your zigbee coordinator for the lights?
the yellow or the hue hub?

Are any of the lights being powered off at the switch?

the yello...
The hue hub at the moment. It’s providing the entities to HA I assume and automations are via HA/NR.

You can pair the hue lights directly to the zigbee controller and drop the hub altogether. Then you’d be able to take advantage of your full zigbee mesh which might help with the connection issues.

Can I do this just by shutting off the hue hub?

No

Ok, so how do I do that? Reset all the bulbs somehow?

you reset them and pair to them to the network coordinated by the yellow instead of the one from the hue hub
