Changing the ZB channel to iHost

It has already been addressed here, but without result. There is an option to change the ZB channel to iHost like ZBBridge-P. Some ZB channels are quite noisy. This would be a good feature for iHost.

Of course, it would be. But first you need a tool to determine which channel is optimal. Such a tool is not offered by eWeLink. The map has only a ‘sightseeing’ purpose. Besides, channel occupancy fluctuates and is not, after all, constant over the longer period. Frequent Zigbee channel changes do more harm than good. Some clients do not like it and will not automatically connect after a change, without reconfiguration. Usually a channel change is to be done before the network is set up, when the controller software suggests or sets one.

That’s a useful feature, but it’s hard to implant, to be honest. That’s kinda risky changing the channels and forcing all child devices (especially for the sleepy ones) to sync.

Some hubs can only change this after you remove all the devices, or at its setup like Aqara.

I’m turning it into a feature request for votes. Our products would review and evaluate these features on a routine.

Many thanks!
