4x Wall Plugs: LEDVANCE Smart+ Plug (don’t know which Firmware)
5x Ikea TRADFRI on/off switch (the rectangular ones)
Several Philips Hue devices & Hue Bridge in house
Behavior
Deconz was set up roughly 6 months ago. The plugs and switches were paired successfully on initial setup. For that the devices were held close to the USB-stick to get best connection.
After set up the devices were connected and worked
Afterwards sporadically devices lose connection
Unplugging and re-plugging the power outlets did not lead to them being found by Deconz again.
Occasionally devices are found again and work
If a device reconnects it might lose connection a few hours/days/weeks later again
Some devices that lose connection are 4-5m away from the ConBee II stick. No big obstacles in the way (couch or wooden guard rail of a stair case or so).
Other devices that are a floor beneath ans many more meters away of the ConBee II, it rarely loses connection
Setting up additional TRADFRI switches between ConBee II and devices regularly losing connection to enlarge the network, by additional hops, did not help.
Expected behavior
Ideally not lose connection at all
If a device loses connection the it should reconnect quickly
Environment
Host system: Raspberry Pi
Running method: deCONZ Add-on
Firmware version: 26660700
deCONZ version: 2.11.05 / 9.5.2021
Device: ConBee II
Do you use an USB extension cable: no
Is there any other USB or serial devices connected to the host system? yes: 1x JeeLink, 1xCul433
Tested the beta: no difference
deCONZ Logs
I didn’t have a look at logging yet. Will it give additional information here?
Additional context
I love the idea behind ConBee / Deconz! However it’s super flaky and not really useful for reliable daily usage at home
I’m not using the deCONZ application on my PC. I use Phoscon. So I guess I opened the issue in the wrong part of the Form?
Could you please be so kind and move it to the correct spot?
I have deCONZ installed on my PC but the PC is not running al the time
When the PC is on, deCONZ is not running automatically
When I start deCONZ I can only connect to the USB-stick if I remove it from the Raspi and plug it into the PC. Obviously rebooting the USB-Stick and resetting the device-connections.
Oh, ok. Now I get it. Thanks! On the Raspi I have deconz installed (sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb http://phoscon.de/apt/deconz $(lsb_release -cs) main’ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deconz.list”)
updated the config in nano /lib/systemd/system/deconz.service to use the correct port etc and defined it as a service.
Please don’t ask me for too many details, it’s half a year ago The reverse search helped me refreshing my memory
As I don’t have any GUI for my Raspi, the question is how to create/access the logs via command line?
PSU: 2 Amps via Powerbank as UPS
Yes, I’m using FHEM which is running on the Raspi as my smart home system. In FHEM I basically connect to the IP and Port.
How do I update deconz? Simply apt get update?
According to phoscon the firmware is up to date.
Edit:
After positioning all switches and plugs to the original location (had them right next to the ConBee II for pairing), it seems like connects were lost once again
Back to the PSU topic, for rpi4 3A is needed and it seems like there is no problem with it, however it is unclear to me, what is the maximum output per ports of the powerbank (the total of the 4 ports can be 4.8A but the per port info I couldn’t find)
Anyway: the official PSU delivers 5.1V both for rpi4 and 3, the difference is the needed current. As there is a minor voltage loss on the components, but starting from a lower level, there is no buffer and in case the powerbank cannot deliver stable voltage level, this may lead to issues (under-voltage).
If the rpi hasn’t been restarted yet the following command could highlight potential power issues vcgencmd get_throttled
On the Raspi I have deconz installed (sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb
