Understanding Tradfri Radio Behavior for a Quieter Network

Hi everyone, I’ve been exploring the Tradfri radio behavior in my smart home setup and wanted to share some insights and questions. I’ve noticed that the Tradfri component seems to query devices regularly, which I believe is every few seconds. This has me a bit concerned about the radio traffic in my network, especially since I have several devices in my bedroom.

I understand that Zigbee devices typically push their states to the gateway, but the Tradfri approach of polling devices might introduce more radio signals. I’m curious if this is a common observation or if there are ways to optimize this behavior.

For instance, I’ve heard that adjusting the polling intervals or using specific features could reduce unnecessary traffic. Has anyone experimented with these settings? I’d love to hear about any experiences or tips to minimize radio activity without compromising functionality.

This is a fascinating area, and I’m eager to learn more about how others manage their networks for quieter, more efficient operation. Thanks in advance for your insights!
