 Troubleshooting 

 Сoordinator does not detect the dongle 

 

 Make sure your ZigBee network is open 

 Make sure the dongle is within range of your ZigBee network 

 Activate pairing on the dongle manually 

 

 The dongle appears offline after a while 

 This may not be true. Z2M marks ZigBee devices as offline if they do not report anything for a long time, but the router firmware has nothing to report (the device does not have any sensors) so the system may mark it as offline. 

 

 If the device is truly offline, all devices that were connected through it will become unavailable. 

 

 If the device offline then the most likely reason is that it is outside the coverage area of ​​your Zigbee network.
