extend range on zigate

Post by wuffer »

I have the zigate on my system but i would like to extend the range.

Is it possible to use C2530+CC2591 as a router like in the zigbee2mqtt?

Maybe you are familiar with it: but for a good pairing process the device needs to be really close to Zigate. After pairing the effective range is much further.

Thanks. I think i got it working. I wantet to use a xiaomi door sensor in my mailbox, so i could see if i got letters. But i think there is too many walls etc. Outside the mailbox with the extra router i can get a xiaomi button to work, but inside the mailbox not so much, maybe its the metal that blocks.

I have both the CC2531 and the C2530+CC2591.

Hey Guys,

I also have an extention router cc2531 with antenna. When I look at the mesh diagram from my Zigate it only shows routers and no end devices are connected to it. This is really annoiing, because it are en devices from xiaomi I want to extend. Most likely a aqara switch without neutral and a aqara smoke detector on my attique. But none of those devices are connected through the mesh. The smoke detector seems to have a weak signal. And wants to connect directly to Zigate. When it's paired and near Zigate the signal is received by Zigate. When placed on final place it loses connection. Any solutions for this problem?
