In Adam HA's zigbee network, devices have one of the following roles:

Router: A zigbee device that is a Router has a better range and can forward messages from other devices. If a device is set as a Router, you will get a better network quality.
End Device: A zigbee device that is an End Device has a lower power consumption and a lower range.

A device that you register with Adam HA takes on a different role based on the power source:

A device with a USB power supply or plug becomes a Router upon registration. Floor does not support batteries and is therefore always a Router.
A battery powered device becomes an End Device upon registration.

Here's how to adjust the role of your zigbee device:

Log in via connect.plugwise.net or open the app.
Go to Setup > Appliances via the menu at the top left and select your appliance.
Click on Delete and then on Remove from network.
Adjust the power source.
Connect your appliance again. The device becomes a Router with USB power or an End Device with battery power.
