My RFXCom lost communication twice:
- first time I had to reboot the Mini: I tried many things including disconnecting/reconnecting the RFX, the USB Hub, etc... and after a reboot 'just in case' the RFX started receiving and sending signals again.
- second time was more tricky: reception was random like it is for you. After a lot of head scratching, I noticed the problems started around the same time as an X10 PIR sensor stopped working. Removing the batteries from that PIR solved the problem, suddenly the RFXCom worked 100% like it should. It looks like the almost dead battery where putting the PIR in a bad state and probably flooding the RF signals all around him.
It happened again a few years later, with the same PIR, and again with low batteries, but that time I found quickly in my notes what to check and what to do !
I know it is not easy, but you could try to remove batteries from the devices in your setup to make sure it si not an RF pollution due to a defective module.
