Hello, Zigbee connection issue – devices are dropping off and becoming unresponsive in your Home Assistant setup. I would begin by inspecting the Zigbee radio’s channel and power settings in the ZHA integration, moving it to a less‑crowded channel and enabling channel agility; this keeps the mesh stable and prevents packet loss that often makes devices appear offline. I’ll also confirm the coordinator firmware is current, as outdated firmware frequently triggers intermittent disconnects after restarts. Additionally, I’ll review your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi environment for channel overlap and, if needed, suggest a dedicated USB Zigbee stick positioned away from the router to minimise interference. Which Zigbee integration (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT) are you currently using? Looking forward to working with you. Artur Giżycki

Hi, I am an embedded systems engineer with over 16 years of experience. I have worked on smart home, IoT and wireless device integrations, including Home Assistant setups where Zigbee reliability depends on the coordinator, device routing, channel selection, interference and correct pairing state. For your setup I would first review the Home Assistant logs and Zigbee integration status, then check the coordinator, network map, device responsiveness, signal quality and any recent configuration changes. From there I can help stabilize the mesh, re-pair or reconfigure problem devices where needed, and confirm that the devices remain responsive after the fix. I can support either ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT and can also advise on coordinator placement, USB extension, WiFi/Zigbee channel conflicts and firmware updates if they are relevant. Please contact me to discuss details.
