This is exactly how I feel about VW. Clearly an unscrupulous company that will lie to anyone to make an extra buck. If they were willing to deceive powerful regulatory bodies in a vast conspiracy with the side effect of fucking over the already fucked environment, what hope does the lowly consumer have to trust such an organization. Fuck 'em, they can go out of business for all I care.

Damn good bot!

I’ve definitely not experienced this and I use a CC2531-based network in a very large home with about 40 zigbee devices. My setup was originally deployed for Zigbee a few years ago and has been pretty reliable. A quick Googlin’ indicates that the MAC access error can be caused by WiFi interference though. Have you tried changing the zigbee channel?

EDIT: Meant to include the link to the zigbee docs about the Mac access error you’re seeing. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/faq/#common-error-codes
