I’ve been diving into the world of Zigbee devices lately, and I must say, it’s been a fascinating journey! 
I recently set up some outdoor lighting using Zigbee bulbs, but I ran into a bit of trouble with their connectivity. The devices would connect initially, but the connection would drop after a short while. I tried using an IKEA Repeater to help with the signal, but it didn’t solve the problem entirely. After some research, I discovered that the placement of the repeater was crucial. Moving it closer to the devices made a significant difference, and now they stay connected much longer! 
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with automations in Home Assistant. I set up a slider to control the runtime of my air purifier, and it’s been working like a charm! 
The slider allows me to set the fan to run for 1, 2, or 3 hours, and it even displays the remaining time. If I turn off the fan manually, the timer resets, which is super convenient. I’m really impressed with how customizable these automations can be. 
I’d love to hear from others who have successfully integrated multiple Zigbee devices or have created unique automations. What tips or tricks have you found most helpful?
