Recent log of the sensor while all device logging turned on
I think I have been misinterpreting the logs. The dev only reports the motion once and it triggers multiple apps which is correct. It's not the sensor being chatty. I will say, however, that I have seen them get into a state where they start reporting the temp every second which is abnormal. It hasn't happened in a while, but it has happened.
According to your previous zwave details and the math I did you have multiple very chatty devices.

Can you help me understand how you came to that conclusion so I can dig into it? I’m all about fixing things myself, but I need some guidance on diagnosing that behavior.
Thanks
Math.
Number of messages (from details) / number of seconds in a week (approx uptime)
I get math. I’m an EE. So the number of messages are over a week or since the device was added? Why use only a week duration? That’s what I’m trying to understand. I get the motion sensors seem high on the number of messages, but they are the primary device that activates lights and report temp and lux periodically.
All the stats on the detail page get reset when you reboot. I asked you how long the hub was running, you said 1 week, so I based my math on 1 week.

Well Damn! That’s a lot of messages. I’m going to reboot now and pay more attention.
Rebooted. All messages reset to zero.
It isn't just those motion sensors. Also both of these devices:
They average out to about 2-4 messages per minute. Now if those messages come in bursts, i.e. they are spammy, then it would be sufficient to cause a radio availability issue.
Rebooting is one way to deal with it. I reboot my C-8 Pro once a week. However, it would still be useful to figure why they are sending a ton of messages. It could be a device configuration issue that is resolvable.
Practically every motion sensor sets light and I have basically a subroutine that sets the LEDs on the scene controller when light are activated or resume. The number of messages to the scene controller would correlate to the number of motion activations.
