[Solved] Zigbee Instability is back!

I suppose another update is in order... I have about 22 devices still on SmartThings, roughly 12-15 not connected to anything, and a couple new devices that I've not yet deployed. But the overewhelming majority have been moved back to Hubitat.

I've now got my system completely split across two hubs/meshes, and have a third hub acting as a coordinator, endpoint for cloud integrations, and dashboard host. Hue lighting is connected to all three hubs so automations can be kept as close to the hub containing the trigger devices.

The Zigbee meshes are running great... Solid, responsive, and no more duplicate messages. There are 94 Zigbee devices on the first, and 95 on the second. I'm still continuing to test and tweak, thanks to some special test builds. But I can say for certain that we now know exactly what was causing the issue before, and how to properly fix it. I'm not sure when those tweaks will make it into produciton however.

The most recent challenge has been against some limitations in Hub Link/Link to Hub in a three hub environment. That's not a negative against Hubitat, I'm just looking to do more than the stock apps allow so I've spent most of my free time since Wednesday creating a replacement.

This weekend will be mostly focused on linking devices to the controller hub and rebuilding dashboards. I'm still missing dozens of automations but for now the priority is getting the dashboards rebuilt.
