Multiple Zigbee Temp / Humidity sensors to one Zigbee Bridge Pro

Hello
I am trying to install multiple temp / humidity sensors in a rental property. I have successfully paired 10 x SNZB-02P to the Zigbee Bridge Pro but after these 10 I have been unable to add any more. i’ve tried 2 or 3 different sensors to check that there wasn’t a faulty one but it makes no difference.
I was under the impression that it was possible to add upto 26 zigbee devices directly to the Bridge Pro and upto 128 in total.
Can anyone help with the solution
Thanks
Steve

How many Zigbee devices are all together connected to your ZBBridge Pro?

I have the same problem. More than 10 devices do not take it.

for every 10 battery-powered devices you must use one device that acts as a zigbee router device. (e.g. ZBMINIR2, ZBMINI, ZIGBEE MICRO USB, ZBBASICR3, SNZB-06P)

But how to ensure that the given sensor is connected to the ZBrouter and not directly to the gateway. The ZB connection map is not available on the ZB gateway.

Thanks for all the replies.
In this house, it is just temperature monitoring for now so it’s just the 10 temp / humidity sensors so far.
I hadn’t realised that it was max 10 battery powered devices. That explains why I can’t get any more to pair.
So, is the solution to get another bridge pro and use that to connect the remaining sensors?
Thanks

No. You must use a device that extends the zigbee network.

(e.g. ZBMINIR2, ZBMINI, ZIGBEE MICRO USB, ZBBASICR3, SNZB-06P).

The network decides automatically. If you have enough router devices, there’s nothing to worry about then. They will connect to proper nodes to better utilize the coverage.

As @ociepa.ekotox mentioned above, Get any router-enabled Zigbee devices you may need, like a ZigBee light bulb, plug, or ZBMicro.

Zigbee tech itself is intended to be used in mesh instead of a star network.

If you don’t mind, could you tell me where you got this information? Thank you

Which one, if you don’t mind?

I refer to the ociepa.ekotox post

NOTE: ZB Bridge-P can connect 26 sub-devices directly (10 end devices + 16 routers, or 26 routers). If you want to connect to 128 sub-devices, routers are required, and one router-device can expand to connect 20-32 sub-devices.
