I’ve been experiencing some frustrating performance issues with my Zigbee devices lately. Specifically, my LEDVANCE Smart+ bulbs have been taking upwards of 30 seconds to respond to commands, which is really inconvenient. After doing some research and digging through logs, I discovered that the delay might be related to how the Zigbee binding handles transactions. It seems that commands are being queued and retried multiple times before they’re finally processed, which explains the significant lag I’ve been noticing.
To address this, I decided to try a few troubleshooting steps. First, I ensured that my Zigbee binding was up to date, which it was. Next, I looked into the configuration settings to see if there were any adjustments I could make to improve performance. I found that increasing the transaction timeout and adjusting the retry logic helped reduce the delays, but the issue wasn’t completely resolved.
After some further investigation, I realized that the problem might be related to the specific Zigbee dongle I was using. I decided to try a different dongle, and to my relief, the performance improved significantly. The commands were processed much faster, and the delays were almost nonexistent. This experience taught me the importance of testing different hardware configurations when troubleshooting connectivity issues.
If anyone else is experiencing similar problems with their Zigbee devices, I recommend checking your binding settings, ensuring your firmware is up to date, and testing with different hardware if possible. It might also be worth reviewing your network topology to ensure there are no interference issues. Happy troubleshooting everyone!
