Thanks, tried first one, works like a charm.

I had a look at dedicated routers but found them quite expensive. I bought a couple of these zigbee plus, absolutely fantastic. Also very fast delivery. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtDzhAq

I recently installed the Skyconnect dongle, as it’s promoted by HA and it’s matter ready https://www.home-assistant.io/skyconnect/

I had a lot of trouble getting devices to stay online, they kept disconnecting. After adding more router devices, ie bulbs/plugs, it seems better. I’m using ZHA, so far only one device (an IR remote blaster) wasn’t compatible.
