Hello @JonE,
Are you still in touch with your Fakro app developer friend?
(I’m still not getting any response to the email address on the contact link)
Since ‘upgrading’ to Homey Pro 2023 in an attempt to improve z-wave stability, I have lots of error messages from z-wave devices complaining they cannot work because there is too much traffic.
The culprits seem to be the Fakro devices or app. I have in my timeline many messages for the Fakro devices “…is sending a lot of z-wave messages. Please check the device configuration to prevent network congestion”
I’ve tried setting the polling interval from 5000 ms to 120000 ms.
Irrespective of what I set, the app sends info to Homey almost continuously from one of the 5 Fakro devices.
The log shows in for example in just a 2 minutes sample, 4 Fakro devices are communicating 141 times, basically accounting for more than half of all the entries, despite there being 75 other z-wave devices, with these kind of entries:

If not, anyone else know how to stop this traffic swamping the z-wave network.?
(Because of this traffic, the other z-wave devices are failing to respond/add, etc.)
