This depends on the Zigbee MCU. A typical zigbee chip can handle 32 devices as direct children, more via routers. CC2652P (like Sonoff Zigbee Pro) can go hire, maybe ~100.
I'm not sure what you mean. Zigbee has a notion of Router. In practice most mains-powered Zigbee devices (Bulbs, Plugs) also act as router and range extenders. In such case, yes the pairing can be done via the router.
No, you can have only one zigbee coordinator. However you can have routers to act as range extenders (see above)
Sure. Doc is here: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Zigbee/ |

@s-hadinger .. Good idea. What is a possible reason to re-pair a device? This is really a downside about zigbee in comparison to other ip based protocols. |

One possible reason to re-pair would be hardware damage to a coordinator device, or theft. Or if you want a new one instead, like having CC2652 for increased capacity. |

When upgrading zigbee software on the MCU (not Tasmota, the Cc2652p) you may need to re-pair the network |

Thank you all.. Is there an api for the Zigbee functions also available for berry Scripting? |

Yes, you get the regular rules, but there is also a lower level integration |

Hello all,
I am quite new to Zigbee but not to the esp32 hardware. I use currently an Zigbee stick inside my Homeassistant installation. But now I have an planned installation where I don't want to use an Homeassistant installation - beacause there is no need for.
Here are my main questions:
Best regards and many thanks for your time!
