ISY994i ZS Zigbee range is very poor

[rafarataneneces]

Just an update. I have confirmed that in the 2.4Ghz range, the Zigbee channel numbers and WiFi channel numbers do not line up and are not the same. Zigbee's channel range 1-26 and WiFi's channel range 1-14(?) directly overlap each other.  Zigbee just breaks down their range into more channels than WiFi does. 

 

So in my case with the smartmeter using Zigbee channel 21, it directly overlaps WiFi devices using channel 11. 

 

Here is a good article explaining the difference and overlap. https://support.metageek.com/hc/en-us/articles/203845040-ZigBee-and-Wi-Fi-Coexistence.

 

Michael, is there a way to force the smart meter to use a different channel via the ISY settings or are we stuck unless the power supplier changes it? 

 

How is your experience with ISY994 and Zigbee so far?

 

Can you control Zigbee lights (Lightify or Philips Hue) or is Zigbee support just limited to Energy Monitor devices?

 

Thanks!

Hi rafarataneneces,

 

I am not sure you understand the nature of ZigBee SEP. It has nothing to do with ZigBee devices. It only communicates with SmartMeters.

 

With kind regards,

From what I read ZigBee SEP is to communicate with Edison so you can read the electric measurement KWH for your house

 

I want to control this device:

Keen Home smart vent (which uses Zigbee).

Would the ISY994iZ work?

 

Does the ISY994iZ work with Philips Hue lights for example?

Let me try and tell you.

 

 

NO.

 

Short and to the point.

Hi rafarataneneces,

 

ZigBee SEP only communicates with Smart Meters installed by SCE. It does not communicate with ANY OTHER ZigBee devices.
