Interference from Z-wave device causing reception problem with Red PRO

[miraculon]

I posted my findings on WxForum, but I thought that I should mention it here as well.

Last weekend, I noticed that my data on the Red unit (w/internal RF stick) was approaching an hour old and not updating. I rebooted it and it would not sync at all. In order to get things running again, I temporarily changed to WLIP as the data source.

Later, I discovered that a large percentage of my Smartthings devices were off-line. I confirmed a continuous spurious signal at 908 MHz. (Z-wave operates there).

After cycling circuit breakers, the problem stopped, Meteobridge RED once again worked on RF and all of my Smartthings came back online.

I don't know what caused this or how likely it is to happen again. Unfortunately, I was unable to identify the offending unit, since the problem disappeared when power was restored. I believe that the cause of this was a "jabbering" node.

Here is my post on WxForum regarding this issue: https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic ... #msg416552

Just a mention to add to the troubleshooting possibilities if you run Z-wave devices.
