Thermostat recommendation

It's not the driver, it's the Thermostat.

Z-wave devices usually have configurable parameters on the device itself for this kind of thing to prevent the z-wave network from being saturated etc, the Honeywell does not.

All Hubitat could do is give you the ability to not log the data - your Hubitat will still be receiving it.

Just turn off the logging and you will never see the traffic :wink:

As such, why can't the driver simply stop forwarding that traffic to the HE?

The way the system works, ALL Z-Wave messages are received by the hub. The hub then sends the received message to the appropriate driver.

This means a device that sends an abnormal number of messages (commonly called a chatty device) will add to the Z-Wave traffic. Sometimes it matters most of the time it doesn't. However it annoys me because its wrong (aka needless). My guess is I'm not alone.
