Hi!
Sometimes my bulbs are not responding anymore and I’m wondering if I could re-connect them all at once, as they have a separate circuit anyways.
My idea: I would switch them off-on-off-on… to bring them all into pairing mode at the same time.
Would that work? (Talking about 25 bulbs).

Depend of the issue.

Some devices just need a power ccycle, the network key is still memorised by the device.
But this issue is rare on bulb, not normal you have to make the pairing procedure more than 1 time.
And yes this is possible, set the gateway in permit join for 5 mn, and during 5 mn you can add as many device you want.
These specific bulbs can’t be reactivated by power cycle. I tried that over and over again. They are sometimes still reacting to group commands, but that’s it. After re-pairing they work as expected (for some days/weeks).
Might be that the memory chip has issues. I don’t know.
The only problem I see now is:
IF I would re-pair all 25 bulbs at once, all groupings will be gone, right?

I think yes, the reset procedure erase the memory, so the group configuration too (it’s a setting on the bulb itself)
The group configuration is still memorised in the API but I don’t think deconz check it and reconfigure devices if there is problem
