Thanks for reporting, got it back up and running again.

I know this question is a bit off topic for MySensors, but we have a lot of home automation enthusiasts here.

Are there any zigbee gateways that support multiple vendors? From what Ihave understood, Ikea's gateway only supports Ikea devices and Xiaomi's gateway only supports Xaiomi devices.

Is it possible to let Zigbee devices from different vendors co-exist in the same mesh network?

@epierre what does the log from the gateway say? Preferably for the same time, so the node side and the gateway side can be compared.

@NeverDie no. It doesn’t screw into anything. It is fixed. It cannot be turned without turning the entire cable. Hence the male is the one doing the screwing. The male variant can turn without turning the cable.

@NeverDie the rule I learned (which is not politically correct, but memorable) is that the male always does the screwing and if the male doesn't have a d**k it's reverse polarity.

The key here is to not focus on the signal connector, but on the mating. The female versions are fixed, the male versions screw on to the female.

@NeverDie note that the picture you found has different naming for the RP variant than the picture I found.

RP-SMA male vs RP-SMA plug female socket
RP-SMA female vs RP-SMA jack male pin

Confusion deluxe.

Yes, the antenna selector is normally just a zero ohm resistor.

About the antenna sma connector: there are 4 connectors, not 2.

@NeverDie yes, looks good to me

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2013-title47-vol1/pdf/CFR-2013-title47-vol1-sec15-247.pdf seems to be a pretty good reference.

@NeverDie I am unable to find a better FCC reference than https://lowpowerlab.com/forum/rf-range-antennas-rfm69-library/fcc-rules-for-frequency-hopping/msg16006/?PHPSESSID=6e7efa8daee6de15d09c2b954879be34#msg16006 but that reference says:

The maximum allowed 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel is 500 kHz.

Since the module is now using 1,625 kHz bandwidth, it is again outside FCC rules.
