I have noticed in the event log for one of my Remotec ZRC90 remotes that sometimes it is recording several button presses for a single press as example below:

I use the button to toggle a lamp so it's causing a bit of freeze when it happens and sometimes the lamp finally turns off and then on again or vice versa.
I have changed the batteries, even though they were at 90% but it made no difference. It seems to do it more when it is on the outer edge of the Zwave mesh. Does it keep sending the command until it gets a response? I thought it might be a physical problem with the actual button, but as it improves nearer the hub that seems unlikely. Do battery powered devices still use the full zwave mesh or do they have to be in direct range of the hub? Any other thoughts?
Not sure what the issue is but I would imagine the weaker the signal the flakier the device will be.
If you are moving the device to different locations ensure you do a zwave repair before testing each time. This way the controller finds the best route back to the hub.
Whenever I do a Zwave repair the nodes for these remotes don't get included. That's why I wondered if battery powered devices have to be in direct connection to the hub.
I may not have noticed it before because none of the buttons were previously set to toggle a device so it wouldn't have changed behaviour if commands were sent multiple times. But looking at the live logs, one button press on one of these remotes can result in commands still being received minutes later see below. Something is wrong here surely @bravenel or @mike.maxwell ? Edit - using standard built in Remotec ZRC90 driver btw
