S0 also generates a lot more traffic than no security at all. Unless you feel you really need security on this device (like it somehow controls a security gate or door or something) I'd suggest unpairing it and re-pairing it without S0. Unfortunately, I think the only way to do this is with the assistance of a secondary controller (USB stick or the like).

This ^^^ If the driver doesn't have an effective option to control power/status reporting, the device will continue to spam that data. And if it's S0 security that adds additional traffic as noted.

If this is the Gen5 you may be able to change the reporting parameters (see page #7 of the pdf linked below) with the "Basic Z-Wave Tool" driver.

The Basic Z-Wave tool can be installed via the HPM or here:
Install the driver, temporarily change your device to it then enter the appropriate parameter and value.. then change your driver back. Do not hit configure or you might wipe out your changes.

50 extra points for Hufflepuff for you thinking of this.

Do I use the hex or decimal for the parameter number?
decimal is what I've always used

Yeah the parameter report (which shows up in the logs) is in decimal. It's been a while since I used it but I agree with @danabw.
edit: Do run the parameter report so you can see the parameter sizes etc.. and see if it matches up with the docs.

What driver is device 1328 using? Built-in drivers and most community drivers will stop debug logging after 30 minutes. If it’s a HE driver then a quick message to support usually gets it addressed in the next release, if it’s a community driver often times the developer will address it.

The driver is [Release] Aeotec Heavy Duty Smart Switch, which apparently is no longer supported. However, I believe I was able to make parameter changes that stopped the mesh chatter. Thanks everyone.

Give me a few minutes to fire up my laptop and I’ll take a quick trip through the code to see if I can spot an errant log.debug.

Not seeing a skip debug message in that code, sorry.
