According to the mesh display, everything is well connected, but daily at least one device stops responding. Usually it's one of my automated blind controllers (but not the other identical one), often it's the button in my bedroom (connected to a zigbee relay), today it's a smart socket (located right next to the Zigbee controller). I don't know the cause so I'm grasping at straws on how to improve it. Will switching the whole system to Z2M improve anything?
#Using ZHA, devices constantly stop responding. Will switching to Z2M improve this?

Are there any routing devices that are being turned on and off (plug pulled, not like app on and off). Also what channel are you using. Do you have a modern radio and is it positioned a meter or 2 away from any other devices? Finally do you have enough routers?
IE, read thru this...

There are three light bulbs that are turned on/off via disconnection from mains. I paired everything else before those to try and help, but it didn't resolve anything. Today the smart socket (two meters from the zigbee controller) isn't responding and it doesn't go through any of those three bulbs. I have a single controller with two router-only devices and more than a dozen router-included devices. I'm using a Sonoff Zigbee Dongle-P which is located 3m from the nearest wifi access point/antenna. I'm using channel 15 (according to ZHA) but my 2.4ghz wifi scanner app shows no activity past 13.
I don't know if the new ZHA mesh visualizer is completely accurate. It's saying that my coordinator is not connected to anything in the room except the lights. Everything else it connects to is in other rooms or on other floors, all through one, two, or three concrete walls and past one or two wifi access points. The other devices in the room (two sockets, an IR blaster) connect to the coordinator through devices in these other rooms / other floors, taking between one and three hops to get back to the coordinator. I would hope that's not the case, but maybe it is. I don't know of any way to forcefully regenerate the network.
According to the mesh, the shortest connection for my non-responding socket (which is two meters from the controller, in the same room) is: socket -> ir blaster (same room) -> repeater 2 (other floor, through three concrete barriers (LOS)) -> controller (back through those same three concrete barriers)

I don't think I trust the ZHA map, though. This says that my device Blinds - Living Room is currently not connected to anything, but it is responding.
