I’m using the ConbeeII stick on a RPi3 and recently a few of my zigbee devices has just dropped out of the zigbee network. Only battery powered devices from what I can tell. I can delete them and add them again, and then they work for some time, maybe hours, maybe days, but they all just stop reporting any status updates.

I thought perhaps updating ConbeeII to the latest firmware would help, but it appears it didn’t.

Anything I can do to fix this? Other than buying a new stick of a different brand?

    The thing that really helped me was using my philips hue bulbs with my zigbee device directly instead of through the hue hub. That made the mesh network extend to the entire house instantly, because the lights have constant power and act as repeaters automatically.

    I’m using an Electrolama zzh with an extension cord and it works perfectly, because there’s essentially 1-4 repeaters in every room.
