The other day, @tifriis@sh.itjust.works posted an awesome article about Zigbee network performance and it brought attention to something I was unaware of, which is that my devices aren’t supposed to shout all day, everyday about doing mostly nothing. I immediately followed the advice in the article and tried to debounce everything. But then everything stopped working like it should 😂 Can the community pool your collective knowledge and walk me through debouncing so I can not get MQTT spam but still have all my motion, presence and temperature sensors work please?

    Maybe I’m missing some context here, but ‘debouncing’ is just accounting for the fact that every switch, when pressed, will bounce on and off the contact for a few milliseconds. If you didn’t account for this, then turning your light on would cause it to flicker on and off rapidly until the switch settles.

    Your zigbee devices phoning home all day while not being used shouldn’t have anything to do with debouncing.
