I am using a Fritz!Box router which is auto channel changing and now has its own 2.4/5GHz mesh. Three Sonos speakers also have their own mesh.
Yesterday, at 1pm, I turned on Sonos to listen to the news. The Sonos app couldn't connect to my system. It did so on the third attempt. On checking Evotouch, the fault log was showing sensor faults on the HW and 2 out of my 12 zones which resolved themselves within 2 minutes. My guess is that at some time previously the Fritz!Box changed wifi channel which then brought it into conflict with the Sonos mesh. I have had this happen before - detected by an occasional loss in Sonos transmission - but it hasn't affected Evohome.
Should 2.4/5GHz meshes be affecting Evohome in this way? Any thoughts as to what might happen vis-a-vis Evohome when we see the rollout of SMETS2 smart meters which establish a 868MHz WAN?
