Sure, but in the 300 posts above, I don’t see any definition of these terms.
“Too much Z-wave traffic”: too much = what, exactly?
From the support text posted here…
“Chatty” = what, exactly?
“Change the reporting settings of nodes with the exceedingly high amount of messages”: “exceedingly high amount” = what, exactly?
“…do this for all devices with a high Rx value.”: What is a “high Rx” value, exactly?
There is not even any definition of what the columns mean in the developer page (leaving aside that no consumer user should even have to know about this to make their device function).
I note from your earlier comments, you “…believe the TX and RX are since the latest restart”, and your observation that “Most of the time the issue starts when RX numbers go up with 30-40 per second”, but surely Athom make clear what trigger these messages and what they are supposed to mean to developers (i.e. users of the developer pages)?
As a non-developer, if I am to temporarily cripple the functioning of the house or compromise it’s function or security just to make some of the devices work, it would be useful to know what these specific thresholds are for devices considered “chatty”.
Athom indicated yesterday that they are working on it, but there are only a few people impacted by this issue.
I wonder if indeed there are so few, and what is common in our setup. My expectation was that everyone with some zwave sensors would be impacted. Are there users who have no issues with the zwave and have 3+ sensors in their setup?
Can you please share your screenshot of the setup so I can compare?
Its true that we are the minority but if I just count the users here and on Slack and on social media I believe there are at least 50 cases with this or similar issue. Looking at the general fact that only a small percentage will put their issue on this forum or even share it with Athom I think we can safely say that a minimum of 100-150 people are experiencing this issue. Doesn’t really matter though. Should be fixed anyway.
I have no problems at all. What kind of setup do you mean exactly? At the moment 60 Zwave devices mainly from Devolo, Neo Coolcam, Fibaro and Heiman. All devices are registered insecurely.
I have, 11 Aeotec multisensors - mains powered, 5 Aeotec recessed door sensors, ~40 Fibaro relays/switches, 5 HeatIt thermostats, 6 Fakro window/blind (mains), ~35 Sensative Strips (none of which are working with HP23). All the Fakro, HeatIt and some Fibaro and some Aeotec multisensors have higher “Rx” values than the rest.
My 2 neighbours (who can’t be bothered to post here) have mostly Fibaro, and (newer) Sensative strips and some Aeotec multisensors. About 20% of their Fibaro devices have higher “Rx” values than the rest. One is not able to add/pair or remove any z-wave devices (gets “too much traffic” message). The other just has flows that don’t work.
For all of us zone presence detection (and flows depending on them) is largely not functioning with HP23
I had no problems there either. The migration worked immediately, I only had to fix Zigbee.
Re-learning Zwave devices is also no problem. Just yesterday I switched back from HA to Homey with 7 Heiman smoke detectors.
Count of 8 and no issues with them if that’s what u mean. They respond instantly in fact.
But loads of problems with most of Aeotec powered devices timing out as too much traffic and with one Fibaro double switch that was included after the migration from HP19 and while on firmware RC118.
I have 75% Fibaro, 25% Aeotec.
So yes, overall piece of crap this z-wave since RC118 onwards.
Indeed, at random times it takes down my whole Z-Wave network. Then, at a random amount of time later, it starts working again. Or it needs a reboot. I do that at random when it doesn’t come back on in time or when I really want the light to go out.
I have the too much traffic issue and do not have Fibaro motion sensor. I do have Fibaro dimmers and switches + recently and Aeotec range extender (issues started after I added this but after removing is still there, probably coincidence). Roughly 60 Zwave devices
