Hi. My hubitat says that:
" Weak Zigbee channel found"
so I did channel scan and it looks like only channel 11 shows RSSI=-65 LOI=140 PAN_ID=5444 B190F38BDD509104
Rest is 0. How I should nominate best channel for my network then?
Before you change anything you need to ask “Is there anything wrong with the way my Zigbee network is performing?” If the answer is no, dismiss the message and go on with life.

Channel 20 has earned a reputation of being weak for the chip used in the C-8 and C-8PRO. I don't know that there's hard info on why... but it's advice that is useful to know, thus the message. If YOUR Zigbee isn't having a problem and you don't want to change, then just dismiss the message.
Channel 23, or 25 have been popular for those that did encounter an issue. It's mostly THAT which is driving the warning message. SOME people have had issues that got cleared up simply by changing their Zigbee channel.

Also, FWIW, the HE hub Channel Scan has been known to be a little flaky, seems in some cases to show cached rather than current data, sometimes won't show any data. I've had mine change results w/out any changes made on any hubs running Zigbee. So I would not necessarily rely on it too much..."somewhat informational" is how I'd describe it.

Ok, All seems to work good so I will just dismiss it.
