Any idea what could be causing this? Regards,

A couple of us have seen this from time to time, we think it is because another (non Energenie) device is transmitting on the same frequency. Because it does not have the Energenie encryption seed in the message, when the message is decoded the CRC is incorrect.

The way to verify this is to turn off all your energenie sending devices, and see if you still get the message. If you do, then don't worry about it. You can reconfigure the code to prevent it displaying these bad CRC messages by silently dropping them, if this is the case.

To turn off the trace messages in the radio module, replace this line with a 'pass' statement

Also some chatter in #19 that is related to this issue about bad CRC

[whaleygeek]

This issue is either due to a non Energenie device in the near vicinity, or a device that is out of range (and therefore causing a corrupted packet). Closing as #19 deals with this.
