I recently noticed some performance issues with my Z-Wave network, particularly with a GE 14291 switch that stopped sending instant updates to my HA system. After resetting the switch, it worked fine again, but I noticed significant lag in my system, indicating heavy traffic. I checked the OZW logs and found a GE 14294 dimmer being polled every few minutes. I’m curious if anyone has experienced similar issues or has suggestions for resolving this. Would adding a custom entry in the zwave_device_config.yaml with polling_intensity: 0 help? I’m trying to figure out the root cause and the quickest fix.
On a more positive note, I recently installed the new Govee Downlights in my daughter’s room, and they’ve been a game-changer! The setup was super quick and easy, and the colors are so crisp and smooth. It’s amazing how much they’ve brightened up the space. If anyone is considering Govee lights, I highly recommend them!
I’d love to hear others’ experiences with Z-Wave performance issues and Govee lighting setups. Have you encountered similar problems or found innovative solutions? Let’s share our tips and tricks to help each other out. Happy tinkering!
