I have a Home Assistant setup with quite a few ZigBee and Zwave devices, which use the same 868MHz frequency band as Lora.
Does anyone know if they can interfere with each other and degrade Meshtastic performance ?

ZigBee is 2.4 GHz if I remember correctly. Haven’t had any experience with Zwave
I have Zwave devices here too. ChUtil shows 1% with only one Meshtastic node powered on. I assume these are the Zwave which only send a short burst once in a while. Done some range testing and get about 3km in a rural area with forest and hills using LongFast. So it seems not to collide. Zwave is at a somewhat lower frequency.
ChUtil is the total air utilization from LoRa traffic, so including the device’s its own transmissions.
