ZWave network flooded with errors

Hello,

Had my 61 device ZWave network running well, had tried a network heal, but had a couple battery powered nodes that were dead and probably didn’t update (not sure if that’s the underlying issue). I had also added and removed another energy monitoring device that wasn’t working properly.

Now the log file is showing a nonstop flood of the following message

Most of my devices seem to be working alright, but Im worried that this will cause long term issues with slow responses.

I tried rolling back to a prior backup and multiple reboots to no avail.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Increase the logging and check which device is either directly before or after the dropped messages.

Thanks, I think it was the already removed energy monitor still sending updates, after unpairing again and unpowering the device it stopped.

Thanks!

Can you please tell me where this log file is? I suspect I have speed issues due to too many Wave calls. Thanks.

i was finding them on the log page of the zwave integration.

after a bit more reading i think the real error was related to my recently switching to a 700 series stick and the updates from the motion sensors and energy monitors causing duplicating messages and crashing the system.
