So I have problems with my z-wave network being flooded to the point that it becomes unresponsive for maybe 30 seconds up to 1 minute, sometimes even longer than that, and the controller becoming jammed simply by using z-wave switch to turn on 4 RGBW z-wave controllers at the same time. I’m basically looking for help to reduce the traffic caused by this automation to improve the reliability of my z-wave network and reduce the occurences of the jammed controller issue.
I’m using Z-wave JS UI
an Aeotec z-stick 7 (gen 700 z-wave) on 7.21.0
The switch used is a HomeSeer HS-WX300 with firmware 1.13.6 (node 20).
The 4 RGWB dimmer used are Qubino ZMNHAD, all on firmware 2.98 (nodes 14,15,16 and 17)
When turning on/off each RGBW dimmer individually (directly from HA) the logs show reasonnable amount of traffic for that node:

When using the switch to turn on all 4 RGBW controllers at once, the network is flooded and everything else that is z-wave stops working for at least 30 seconds up to about 3 minutes: See posts #2,3 and 4 for logs (to large to be inserted in a single post)
When the switch is pressed, it start this automation to turn on the RGBW dimmers:

Any idea how to solve this problem? Are there any better way to achieve this to reduce z-wave traffic?
Thanks!
