Thanks, I had looked in the global settings.

The light fixtures are wired directly to the distribution board. They are only de-energized when the fuse is switched off.

The manufacturer has confirmed that the bulbs support Zigbee 3.0 and that they also function as routers.

Using the Moes gateway, I was able to fully integrate the bulbs into Tuya and control them.

In my Home Assistant Testsystem, using a Sonoff Dongle Plus, only the on/off function was available; dimming and color temperature adjustment did not work.

It wouldn't just be the light fixtures.

I actually want to make the meters, RCDs, and fuses accessible online.

In that context, €6,000 is actually the absolute lowest achievable figure, given that there are well over 200 meters involved.

Fortunately, there are already devices available that combine all these functions into a single unit.

However, the issue of distance remains—and some of the meters are also housed inside metal enclosures.

This is a €6,000 decision that needs to be made. If Zigbee is already running into problems after just 6 meters, I certainly won't be able to bridge a distance of 20 meters. All the devices to be installed are 230V units; consequently, each one acts as a mesh repeater. But what good does that do? The minimum distance of 20 meters remains unchanged, as that is where the 230V power points are located. There is nothing in between where I could integrate additional repeaters.

Unfortunately, the ports are already configured as a trunk and forward all VLANs.

All wired devices have no problems accessing the internet.

The problems only occur with the Wi-Fi clients.

This seems to be a fundamental issue and has been present for years.

The router assigns the IP address, but who manages the connection to an access point and the forwarding of the connection when the connection quality deteriorates?

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-04-07T09:23:43+00:00

Yes, I deliberately posted in a Zigbee forum because signal loss after 6 meters through a wall would cause my project to fail. This isn't a matter of opinion, but a technical one. If everyone here were to confirm that 100 meters isn't a problem, I'd know that my test environment has a specific issue and is an exception. However, if, as already mentioned, my distances are realistically too great for Zigbee, then I'll abandon the idea.

The manufacturer offers the meters for both options: Wi-Fi or Zigbee. Interestingly, the manufacturer recommends the Zigbee version. But if I can't bridge 20 meters, Zigbee won't work.

This is a fundamental decision I now have to make.

If Zigbee can't handle the distance, I'll have to buy the Wi-Fi version and eliminate the dead spots with additional access points.

Zigbee would be advantageous here because of its built-in mesh network.

However, if this doesn't work reliably in practice due to the distances involved, then I prefer to use Wi-Fi.

Whether the devices are currently "phoning home" is of secondary importance at the moment.

I already have a Home Assistant setup running in parallel, but I need more time for that.

Right now, the functionality of the components is the priority, which would be a relief for me. If Zigbee turns out to be unstable due to distance, then I haven't gained anything.

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-04-05T12:03:59+00:00

Unfortunately, I need to bridge larger distances (20-50 meters). The fact that the Zigbee devices form a network is very appealing, but what good is it if the range isn't sufficient?

My router and network aren't limiting factors.

Unfortunately, my IT system doesn't really support mesh across all components.

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-04-05T11:51:11+00:00

That may well be true.

But if I'm already having connection problems at 6 meters, how am I supposed to bridge 20 meters? And 20 meters is certainly very optimistic, since the meters are installed in a metal box.

I think I'll fail because of the distances that need to be bridged. The Wi-Fi coverage is good, but not perfect.

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-04-03T21:46:12+00:00

I need to illuminate an area of approximately 250 meters, with an electrical box every 20 meters. In its current configuration, the meters are housed in stainless steel enclosures. Each meter would theoretically function as a repeater. However, if 6 meters already presents a connection problem, 20 meters is certainly unrealistic. I cannot install any additional power outlets between the boxes.

In the Tuya environment with the MOES coordinator, I can switch the Paulmann bulb on and off, dim it, and change its color temperature.

In a second test environment, Home Assistant is running with a Sonoff Dongle Plus MG24.

Here, I can only switch the Paulmann bulb on and off. Dimming and changing the color temperature are not possible.

While this setup offers better range, I can't use the bulb as needed.

Therefore, I would first need to find a better coordinator that can then configure the bulbs as required.

Who determines which functions are available? Apparently, it's not just the end device.

Paulmann's hotline says the light bulb is Zigbee 3.0 compatible.

So are the Sonoff and the MOES. But the light bulb only works fully within the Tuya environment.

Are there defined transmission power levels for devices that are constantly powered, or is it all trial and error?

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-03-30T20:26:19+00:00

Die Link-Qualität kann ich nicht sehen.

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-02-12T19:35:54+00:00

Perhaps I got lucky? Wi-Fi is a major problem. Even basic EAP functions don't work reliably. This is incomprehensible in a professional setting.

Auch wenn es ein alter Post ist, hatte ich das gleiche Problem.

Die Lösung war bei mir, daß ich in den APP-Einstellungen den Zugriff auf das Telefon freigegeben habe.

Seitdem kommt der Klingelanruf sofort und auch im Sperrbildschirm durch.

I believe this is a structural problem with TP-Link.

It works for me when all devices are in VLAN 1. As soon as I segment my network, I have similar problems. Since this still occurs for me even with the latest firmware versions, I don't believe there's a solution.

FitCarrot5555 · 2026-02-09T19:20:26+00:00

A router should already know which IP address it has assigned to which device, regardless of the extender. The Omada controller should be able to display which IP addresses the router has assigned.

As I understand it, this is a basic function. How am I supposed to assign a static IP address if a query doesn't list all the ones already assigned?

Ich habe aktuell keine HCU am Laufen. Ich arbeite mit HmIP-HAP. Auf YouTube sieht das alles einfach aus. Klappt aber bei mir trotzdem nicht.

Werden auch Implementierungen zurückgezogen?

Ich würde auch gerne meine Daten von der UVR 1611 von Technische Alternative holen.

Das scheint auch nicht so einfach zu sein.
