Understanding BAD_LENGTH errors

I've got the following log on my ZiGate component:

Is the bad length error always due to communication transmission issues?

[elric91]

never encountered such error Can you tell what device is causing it and which ZiGate firmware you're using ?

Xiaomi Door/Window Sensor using ZiGate 3.0d. It's like if batching occurs when communication is not perfect.
