Hello SmartThings Community! 
I’ve been diving into the world of SmartThings Edge lately, and I must say, it’s been quite the learning curve. While setting up my devices, I encountered a few hiccups, particularly with connectivity issues. I thought it might be helpful to share some of my experiences and tips in case anyone else is going through similar challenges.
First off, I noticed that some of my devices, like the Aqara temperature and humidity sensor, were going offline multiple times a day. At first, I suspected it was a distance issue, but even when placing the sensor right next to the hub, the problem persisted. I found that switching to the Aqara hub made a world of difference, but I was still curious if others had experienced this. Have you noticed any patterns or solutions for intermittent connectivity?
Another interesting challenge I came across was with the Z-Wave network reliability. After migrating from Domoticz to Homey, I expected smoother operations, but it seems Z-Wave still requires some TLC. I noticed some devices were trying to communicate directly with Homey instead of using the power nodes I had set up. This led to some devices being marked as unreachable, even though they were functioning perfectly. Does anyone have tips on optimizing Z-Wave routes or improving network stability?
On a more positive note, I stumbled upon a fantastic guide for using the Sony Binding with OpenHAB. It was incredibly detailed and helped me set up my TV and AVR seamlessly. If anyone is looking to integrate their Sony devices, I highly recommend checking it out!
Lastly, I wanted to touch on the topic of notifications. I’ve been exploring Pushover as a notification hub and am curious about how others use it alongside the native Hubitat app. Does it offer any unique benefits or reliability improvements? I’d love to hear your experiences!
If anyone has encountered similar issues or has solutions to share, please feel free to chime in. Let’s help each other navigate the sometimes tricky waters of smart home automation! 
Happy automating!
