Unable to connect to stuff to the CC2530+CC2591 (beginner question)

[Raymond3490578]

Hi everyone,

(please bear in mind, I'm pretty new to this)

A couple of weeks ago I setup my HA server on a RPi4+SSD. It's a great learning experience being able to slowly start automating stuff around the house (mostly just for fun).

One of the things I did was to add a ZigBee CC2531 USB stick so I could use Zigbee2mqtt and don't have to rely on branded products. As my quest for automating stuff is growing, so is the need for extra 'range' for zigbee sensors. Therefore, I bought the CC2530+CC2591 module and flashed it with "router-cc2530-cc2591-std.hex" firmware. Flashing seems to have gone successfully.

Now here's what I don't understand: I can see the CC2530+CC2591 in the device list in Zigbee2mqtt and it shows up in the 'map' diagram, but how can I connect stuff to the router? It doesn't seem to work. For example; I would like to connect a (Lidl) door sensor but no matter what I do (resetting, rebooting, re-paring) it will not connect tot the CC2530+CC2591.

Am I missing something? Is the CC2530+CC2591 not the right product?

Any help is appreciated.
