Hello,

Recently got two sengled light bulbs and set them up via zigbee2mqtt. I have one pretty close to my sonoff usb dongle and one a bit further, here they are in zigbee2mqtt dashboard - https://imgur.com/a/pdS9BXD

The close one (basement) has not had any issues, but my one upstairs (TV Room Light) worked for about a day and now I get timeouts when attempting to use it

Publish 'set' 'state' to 'TV Room Light' failed: 'Error: Command 0xb0ce18140368a397/1 genLevelCtrl.moveToLevelWithOnOff({"level":0,"transtime":10}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":false,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Timeout - 55096 - 1 - 23 - 8 - 11 after 10000ms)'

I guess signal strength is not good in that location, although there is a sonoff switch about a foot away which has a low LQI but has worked no problem. I also have even lower LQIs in other places (under 40) and those are working fine…

Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? Did a full rest of the bulb and still an issue. I know that modifying the wifi channel is an option but I’d like to try something not as drastic at first. I heard you can use some devices as boosters, could I do that? I have sonoff plugs (S31ZB) and switches (SNZB-01) not sure if they can boost signals to other devices…

Thanks!
