Hi guys
I've been using an Aeotec Z-Stick with my HomeSeer setup for a little while now with no issues.
However the Z-Wave.ME UZB attracted my interest given it is actively developed with updates to the latest standards.
So I now have one, wiped my entire setup, and started setting up from scratch. I quickly ran into two issues:
1. Live status updates did not work. Some readings such as power levels came through on the secondary associations, but via the lifeline nothing worked. e.g. I turn on a light and HomeSeer was not showing it. After much troubleshooting I discovered lifeline association would only work for 5 seconds - if I removed it and readied then turning on or off a light would update instantly, no matter how many times I did it, within that first 5 seconds.. then nothing again.
2. Unpairing devices resulted in a system crash.
So I started over again with the Z-Stick and all is well again.
Is there a problem with the HomeSeer implementation of the Z-Wave.ME UZB support, or is there some bugs in the Z-Wave.ME UZB firmware? On version 5.27

Re: UZB Stability
It would be good to look in HomeSeer log to understand what is the problem.
UZB uses the latest Z-Wave Serial API. All Z-Wave.Me extensions are not affecting the standard API, so this should not be a problem.
You should certainly also ask HomeSeer, since they know better their s/w

Re: UZB Stability
Sorry I should have mentioned that - I monitored the logs and after the association stops working there is NO comms. I can turn a light on and off at the switch and absolutely nothing appears. Yet I can still control the device via HomeSeer, I just don't get any feedback after the first 5 seconds if I do it at the wall switch.
I also have already asked HomeSeer about this. Another user has replied saying they had exactly the same experience?

Re: UZB Stability
Been Googling around and it seems it is well known that Z-Wave.ME UZB has had compatibility issues with various controllers since firmware 5.23 - apparently downgrading to 5.07 resolves this.
Re: UZB Stability
More correct: it is know that some controllers do not support latest SiLabs SDK
