  • No, I don’t have any ZigBee routers, just the Aqara sensors. My home is pretty small, so I didn’t think I would need them, but I am leaning towards that being the issue. Last night I paired one of the sensors again, right next to the controller and left it there - literally 5 cm from it. It has stayed online so far, which is more than it usually does.

    Weird thing is that I have another sensor in that same room just like a couple meters away and that one keeps dropping. Is ZigBee’s range really that short?

    What criteria should I follow to place the routers? One per room should be enough?













  • He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.

    I love that one of the arguments against this analogy, shown in the Wikipedia, article is the following:

    the only way a teapot could have gotten into orbit around the sun would be if some country with sufficiently developed space-shot capabilities had shot this pot into orbit. No country with such capabilities is sufficiently frivolous to waste its resources by trying to send a teapot into orbit.

    … what a time to be alive!
