#zigbee performance/interference issues??

I am using a Home Assistant Yellow with in built-in zigbee radio. I am currently on 2024.4.4, but I have had the issues on previous releases too. Sometimes, devices don't respond to commands. Sometimes sensor entities will go hours without updating. Sometimes only 2 of 3 devices in a group will process a command.

In the log I see "Failed to call service light/turn_on. Failed to enqueue message after 3 attempts: <EmberStatus.NETWORK_BUSY: 161>". Which google search seems to indicate is interference related.

I have 76 devices on channel 25. 24 are Jasco 43084 (Enbrighten) switches that are routers. I have 4 Juno ABL-LIGHT-Z-201 recessed light cans that are routers too. These cans are powered 100% of the time, but I use HA to turn the light entity on and off. The remaining devices are Device Type: EndDevice.

I have two wireless APs, one on channel 1 and the other on channel 6. The HA Yellow is approximately 17 feet from the nearest AP.

I read that if you power off HA for a couple hours, the zigbee network can heal itself when things reconnect. Sadly, this hasn't helped.

My energy scan doesn't look very promising:
"energy_scan": { "11": 88.70042934643088, "12": 98.43344238842926, "13": 93.76433891498253, "14": 70.89933442360993, "15": 99.66668541231483, "16": 59.15797905332195, "17": 87.33047519856483, "18": 82.35373987514762, "19": 68.14622793558128, "20": 25.74050169409602, "21": 65.26028270288712, "22": 49.512515447068886, "23": 39.90320178295578, "24": 25.74050169409602, "25": 36.830390267097734, "26": 99.50848219356503 },

Any suggestion for things to try?

Check your zha diagnostics file or put it on a paste site and link here. There are counters in there and one of them will tell you how many packets were dropped for interference. Any chance you can move your yellow to another location?

Pull you diags a few times through out the day, and see how this counter acts: >
