Zigbee Went Down With My WiFi? (lemmy.tf)

The other day my WiFi network went down and with it, I lost access to my Zigbee network?* Is this normal or is this a sign of a massive issue?

*When I checked the Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant, all devices showed as unavailable.

Why did your wifi went down ?
Some wifi and zigbee are on the same wavelength, if someone was jamming it (this is illegal), both can be taken down like this.

There was a fault in the neighbourhood and Virgin make it so when their routers lose connection to the web, they kill all connections. It's annoying!

How does your home assistant get zigbee ?

Directly plugged into a raspberry pi I suppose ?

Via an extension cable

What do you mean by extension cable ?

How did you setup your home assistant ? Check if you somehow the container traffic doesn't route through your ISP box for some reason :p

Is the pi running home assistant or is it an external pi running Z2M independently? Is it connected to your network via WiFi?

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago

The Pi is running HA, Mosquitto and Z2M

Like, if a neighbor's Internet loses connection, yours goes down?

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So if my internet goes down because there's an area fault, I can't, for example, scream movies from my NAS, because the router just refuses all connections. It's infuriating. Especially as the local Internet drops constantly due Virgin selling over capacity.

Is it worth it to double-NAT, and run a router between your internal network and their internet box? Then your router is doing the internal routing and possibly DNS too. It’s not perfect, but it might be worth it if the internet drops that much.

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 2 points 2 years ago

This is my plan. I'm gonna get a NanoPi to do the routing.
