Hi!

after a reboot of te zigate plugin/system it takes a long while for the devices to sync properly, if i check at the health on the dashboard, almost nothing happens , i thinkt it takes about 30 minutes for it to resync all of the devices after a reboot.

is there a way to shorten this sync time?

i have about 35 nodes.

and another question is if there is a way to extend the antenna range on the zigate itself? is there any way to solder on a bigger antenna?

This is based on the fact that we received messages from the devices. So no way to improve, except if you ask the device manufacturer to change their firmware.
You have some devices, where you'll never know their status until an action is made on those.

For me this is absolutely normal

For me, the main question is why do you have that need ?
ZIgbee is a MESH network, so the principle is to ADD routers in order to increase the network mesh and density

thanks for your answer,
well ive had alot of connection issues and error massages, but i think that i have solve the problem, i had 20 meters of usb extension cord, so i have moved the zigate 20 meter away from my router, and now i dont get any error massages and it seems like zigate reaches further aound the house now.

Did you check your Zigbee channel versus the Wifi 2.4 Channel ?

yes i have tested some other channels but i always gets errors, andi have checked the wifi also, but they do not overlap,
