#Reconnecting devices after a channel change

Hi, after getting some errors with my devices receiving actions I checked online and saw that one solution would be to change the zigbee channel.
Then I learned that the source of the failures could have been from interference with nearby machines...

So, now I changed the channel in my sonoff coordinator, and all of my devices are unreachable. What's the best way to re-connect them? Will I have to redo all my automations?

I paired one of the bulbs again but it doesn't respond to commands to turn on-off either (this time doesnt even show an error notification, it just does nothing)

I use Zigbee2MQTT and have a small Zigbee network with Aqara and Philips Hue devices only. When I did a channel change in the past, all connected devices automatically changed its channel, too. So, sorry, that I can’t help you. Are you using Z2M or ZHA?

For Z2M you need to re-pair everything when you change the channel. I've never used ZHA so I can't comment on that integration

And it sucked, but my fault for not planning my 2.4 GHz channels better

#

Also may be driver/coordinator dependent, I was using a Sonoff USB stick

I did one year ago with Philips Hue and Aqara devices. If I remember right, it’s an enddevice feature.

Yeah I have way too many unique devices, so it's entirely possible it was a me thing

Even thought the dialog box on HA said the mesh would progressively heal itself and take about an hour, it happened at night so I couldnt leave the lights on
