Hi @dosportsglobal Thank you for the report. Can you also include some logs? And are the 6 sensors really connected?
Just to clarify, you are using 6 ESPs with temperature sensor example or some manufactured Zigbee temp sensors?

[dosportsglobal]

Yes the 6 temperature sensors are really connected and the thermostat is being able to receive data from them but since there are only 4 bound device showing both in thermostat as well as switch, the command sent by switch is being sent only to the first 4 devices. Also I am using only Esp32-C6-Wroom1 module to create this network both as coordinator and end devices.

void ZigbeeThermostat::bindCb(esp_zb_zdp_status_t zdo_status, void *user_ctx) {
if (zdo_status == ESP_ZB_ZDP_STATUS_SUCCESS) {
if (user_ctx) {
zb_device_params_t *sensor = (zb_device_params_t *)user_ctx;
log_i("The temperature sensor originating from address(0x%x) on endpoint(%d)", sensor->short_addr, sensor->endpoint);
_instance->_bound_devices.push_back(sensor);
} else {
log_v("Local binding success");
}
_is_bound = true;
} else {
log_e("Binding failed!");
}
}

I had tried some logging where I found that user_ctx is true for the first four devices and giving the details of the bound devices but after that it only gives "Local binding success" and also "Binding Failed!".

@dosportsglobal Thanks for additional info. I will take a look.

Also found a new issue. The Coordinator is opening the network for connections for exactly 180 seconds every time a new device connects even if the network is opened for 40 seconds in the command given.
Here are some logs:

The open network for another 180s does not come from the Zigbee library. I will investigate if this behavior is specified somewhere in Zigbee docs and is expected. The HA does it the same way so I am expecting that. But for any case, I will also add a function closeNetwork() which can be called manually.

[P-R-O-C-H-Y]

This week I should be testing your issue, so I will keep you updated when I have any news.

[P-R-O-C-H-Y]

@dosportsglobal sending an update:
I am finishing a PR which also includes changes around binding. I did test binding using HA (ZHA) and I was able to bind 6 lights to a switch + the coordinator was also bind so 7 devices with no issue (but the switch was not the coordinator as is in your case). I will do this test that the switch will act as coordinator. If it will be fine, I will open a PR and will be glad if you would be able to test with the changes in your scenario.

[P-R-O-C-H-Y]

Hi @dosportsglobal, can you please give a try the PR #11316? Maybe it can fix your issues.
