Question

I have a IKEA bulb that is somewhat unreliable. In the ST IDE, it shows the Next Hop is "Unknown device (BB17)" How would it be going through a hop that it is unknown? A zigbee device not paired to my ST hub? (Trying to get it to go through a peanut plug I bought as a zigbee repeater. but even after unplugging the hub for 15 minutes then re-pairing the IKEA bulb, it is still going through this unknown hop)

Answer 1

Interesting. In your device list is there any device with I’d BB17?

@unclothe1851 well that could be a problem haha. You could try manually creating a device and enter the ID as BB17, then delete it. Otherwise this may be one for support to handle.

BB-8's successor added zigbee repeating functionality

In the IDE/My Devices, sort by "Device Network Id" and see if there is anything close to BB17. All my IKEA outlets have a 4-character hex ID.

@mullin There was nothing close to BB17.

Update: After 2 hours, the bulb now moved to communicating through my peanut plug!
