I only have to take a look into 2.4 GHz? Or is 5 GHz also interfering with ZigBee? I did not find anything through Google.
Only 2.4Ghzā¦

WiFi APs 2.4GHz on ch 6&9
Remember I changed it many years ago when starting out ā¦
Can be a hit and miss if re-inclusion is needed if changing Zigbee channel.
My network was small at the time and I think it went smoothly.
Thank you. When I change the Zigbee channel, do I need to reconnect the devices again?
Iām on channel 11 at the moment.
Unsureā¦

You have too many devices directly on the coordinator. Theres a ātheoreticalā max of 32 devices directly on the conbee, but often much less.
I think you need to remove a few sensors and pair the routers .The Xiaomi sensors do not seek new parents, therefore you canāt add others.
After adding the routers, you can add the sensors again.
Thank you, I will try. Basically I look onto the network map and try to pair the sensors to one of the repeaters, which are shown/connected? So as soon as I see the line from an sensor to a repeater it is connected there?
Do you know if I need to re-pair the devices in openHAB?
I switched from the Tradfri devices to three CC2530/CC2591 routers. The hardware was already ordered after Christmas.
And I restarted the Zigbee network by starting with a fresh Docker container.
It looks totally different now:
I wonder if it stays stable nowā¦ Will keep you posted. And, if I was successful, I can also go into details about the routers, firmware and so on.
Had some problems when pairing all ~50 devices. At some point the devices did not report anymore, sometimes were not properly detected and saved. When restarting the container some devices were only half in the database or completely gone. But I was able to get everything in properly by doing three or four restarts in the end.
Btw, I did not had to make everything fresh in openHAB. The devices are recognized by their MAC address (or how this is called for Zigbee). And the new device ID from deCONZ was automatically updated by the deCONZ binding in openHAB.
Well, not everything worksā¦ After a while, some sensors do not report anymore. Even when opening/closing doors, which should trigger them. When I restart the Docker container, everything works again, untilā¦ Itās really frustratingā¦
The lqi looks bad as the connections are all red.
