Re: Works well but unreliable

Post by Eagle »

i had some problems but after some reorganizations und mostly since the update to 2.3.6 im very happy. i got some automated lights; some hue lights (around 15 to 20), which are controlled through zwave.me wallc-s and some normal light bulbs with fibaro double switches, dimmers and relais, everything switches instant. of course there are some movement sensors for lights etc..

im including every device on the place where the device will be used, so the device will be reliably included in my mesh network.
when i started, i included every device next to my UZB Stick, even the main powered devices.. but that didnt work well, maybe because the older versions of zway for the wd nas didnt work well or maybe zway didnt set up a reliable mesh network. reorganizations were somewhat broken on the older versions, so i had no mesh network and mostly only one connection, only to the uzb stick

What makes mine reliable is that I eventually managed to directly associate the switches with the nodes, so the controller could be off and it still works. Doing this was a lot harder than it should have been due to faulty software and incompatibilities.

Also, I placed the nodes no further than 4 metres from each other, so they always have a good link between each other. I use it for all the lights in the flat and some smoke alarms, so with the switches and the secondary controller that makes about 40 nodes.

User reset to factory defaults Z-Wave device ID: 14

Post by piet66 »

Since my last post in this thread I made the ZWave network tighter by adding more ZWave+ devices to minimize the likelihood of' dead' devices.

But now I again have such a case.
In notifications I found a message which I have never seen before:
User reset to factory defaults Z-Wave device ID: 14

And the lines in the log:

The notification message clearly is wrong, cause no user has done anything.
I tried to switch the device manually from Web UI. But after that the device is marked as 'dead'.
