Hello.
I’m using HA with ZHA and Home Assistant for a while now and came across the zigbee groups. I didn’t get them since today. Sadly when controlling a group with the the “More Info” Panel in HA or switch lights/temperature often, I’m ending up with this error:
<sl_Status.ZIGBEE_MAX_MESSAGE_LIMIT_REACHED: 3075>
I’m using a Sonoff Dongle Max connected via wifi in zigbee mode. Is there anything i can do about that?
I think information about membership of Zigbee groups is stored in the devices themselves, not centrally in the coordinator. When a group command is issued it is broadcast to all devices, and each one consults its own internal group table to see whether it should respond.
This means that group commands can require quite a lot of messages. and depending on your setup, the maximum size of the outgoing queue can be as low as 10.
It’s a good idea to avoid quick fire group commands - from automations and scripts, for example.
