[2.2.4] Automations using Ecolink (and other battery powered) sensors delayed or unresponsive

For now, I would say yes. No slow downs, mesh works great since I switched the driver and changed it not to report battery status.

I was curious if you experienced the same results.

Battery reporting is pretty inaccurate on most devices anyway so I just run Device Activity Check on all of my battery operated devices every evening and if one of them pops up in the report, I know I have a possible dead battery.

The only devices I look at the battery level are my iris sensors as they seem to get flakey under 15%.

Device Activity Check is a great app. Thanks for the tip!

Things continue being very stable since the change I made to the contact sensors. I am close to declare this closed for now.

A little update here. I tried updating my contact sensors back to the built in driver and unfortunately 2.2.5.131 did not fix the issue of temporarily locking up the mesh. So I am back to my custom driver which seems to be doing the trick.

I have not reverted my drivers... anyone else have success reverting back to the "correct" driver?

Generic contact working fine for me

Things are screwing up again for me.
This time around, not just a lonnnggg delay, but just doesn't work at all.
Opening door a couple times helps, as before.
Using 2.2.5.131 on C7.

does changing to the ring alarm contact driver resolve it?

And is today is the first morning it's happened?

i have had one time stuff was delayed for about a minute since on 2.2.5. Thought i had another not working but that was due to having the rule paused and not realizing it.. It auto pauses the outdoor lights on slider etc, with a virtual switch through alexa, and resumes when you tell her to turn it off. This is so I can shovel the deck without the lights going off in the middle. But I forgot to tell her to turn them off and when going to hottub the stupid lights wouldn't come on. Thinkng of adding a rule for a certain time fram if open door, and paused give a warning.

thats one thing you cannot do in event engine. When one rule fires have another nested if that checks something else..

Yes. Things had been happening here and there, but it kind of reached reporting annoyance level this morning.
