why?
I have recently discovered that mine was causing issues in my zigbee network and have since removed it. While watching the router table, I saw the Peanut jump through 4 other router every couple of minutes. I don't know why this was occurring as everything had been static on my network for some time. But it was definitely causing other devices to occasionally have increased latency. So, I've taken the Peanut off my recommendation list.
And then @Ken_Fraleigh posted:
I have six Peanuts that I removed from the network and my problems stopped. I originally bought them when I had a lot of the older Sylvania (Osram version) lights and they didn't seem to make a bit of difference in the frequency of devices dropping off the network. I started adding Samsung (as much as I hate Samsung) and Sylvania plugs and saw improvement in responsiveness and reliability with each plug I added. Just from the getChildAndRouteinfo table I see the new Samsung plugs repeat for up t…
So I checked mine out:
I read this somewhat sceptically - I have 6 Peanuts on one Hubitat and haven't noticed any obvious issue; however, I've never measured latency in any accurate way.
So I did 4 consecutive getChildAndRouteInfo on that Hubitat within 2 minutes. My Peanuts are jumping all over the place (see attached data below). So @Ryan780 is 100% correct about this.
I can't remove them yet, but when I do, I'll be able to tell if device latency (I'm not seeing any major latency issues right now).
Also want to …
Three days after replacing them with Iris 3210-Ls, my automations are working more reproducibly (no occasional slowdowns that later disappear). This isn't a hub reboot effect, because I haven't rebooted that hub since removing the Peanuts.
