I never had these issues with the ConBee II other than network blow-ups that could sometimes be resolved by unplug ConBee II, plug back in, and reboot I wonder whether the better antenna is partially to blame… The higher gain antenna on the Sonoff allows the signal to go further (at same output) and to receive weaker signals. Some sensors do not report LQI either… One of them, an old Smartthings Leak sensor, I included twice already since the migration to the new coordinator. Assuming the Sonoff coordinator is also capable of reporting RSSI, how do I fix this? I also noticed that none of my devices are reporting an RSSI value. Some come back by pressing reconfigure device, others seem to need to be reset and included again. I’ve been monitoring the devices using the awesome zha-network-card and have seen devices going offline. I move all my devices to a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus and… things aren’t quite normal. Having had previous similar issues and having been told that ConBee II users often suffer from similar issues, I decided it was time to ditch it. You can learn more about using the API mode in the XBee manual, and more about the specific API frames using Digi's api frame utility.My Zigbee network with about 90 devices blew up after upgrading to 2022.4. You could then do whatever processing you want to do with the RSSI value. The Arduino would then parse the packet, and give you the frame ID containing the RSSI value. The Arduino would send an api packet to the XBee requesting that packet type, and the XBee would gather the data and respond to the Arduino with the data packet. In API mode, there is a specific packet type that the XBee can send to the Arduino which contains the RSSI value. (There is an Arduino library available to assist with API mode.) In this mode, the Arduino can access to a wider range of XBee data than in AT mode. XBee can be put into API mode, that is Application Programming Interface mode. Method 2, Read the RSSI value in XBee API mode That hex number can then be translated to decibels (dB) which is the unit of measure for our RSSI value. Those pulses will equate to a number in hex. You can read those pulses using an Arduino's pulseIn function. When AT Command, P0 on the XBee module is set to 1 (default), pin 6 outputs the RSSI value as timed electrical pulses (PWM, pulse width modulation.) On XBee and XBee-PRO modules, pin 6 is PWM0 / RSSI Output PWM Output 0 / RX Signal Strength Indicator. You can accomplish this task one of two ways: Method 1, Read the XBee RSSI pin using Arduino pulseIn() (My favorite microcontroller when interfacing Arduino with XBee is the Arduino FIO or OSEPP Fio) You will need a micro controller of some sort to accomplish this task.
