I’m running openHAB 3.3M1 on a Pi4B running openhabian

I’m seeing a frequent invalid meter type warning in the log. Here is a DEBUG level log, filtered by the Node number:

I would appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting this. Thanks in advance.

What looks odd to me is the sheer frequency of reporting. Possibly this is causing noise in the radio communications because meter types 12 & 14 are not valid.
Meter types
I do not have the device but can config_6_1 be disabled (best) or set to 100.

It is a little hard to say more because you have filtered out the messages from the device. The zwave documentation directs you to not filter. Also there is a tool here to help screen debug logs for errors.

Hope this helps a little
