Z-Wave device Status updates

[SubnetMask]

I've noticed that the status of the modules only updates when manually updated in Z-Way. Shouldn't or can the modules broadcast their status change when manually changed so the controller knows their current state? If that's not possible, is there a way to have Z-Way poll the devices on a schedule? Unless I'm missing something, there is no option to set up a job like that in the HA module.

I should probably add that except for two Aeon Appliance Switches, my switches and dimmers are Leviton.

They should broadcast it only to devices mentioned in the special Report group of the device. Some devices do no support it at all.

So what does 'it is usually third group' mean? What is 'third group'?

1, 2,.... 3!

If you look on Z-Wave.Me and Fibaro devices, they have group N 3 for Reports. Other devices will might have other group or even not have such functionality

So how does one set these groups up? I've been poking around the Z-Way interfaces and so far I have gotten very little to work other than simple manual on/off functions. I might be blind or dumb, but I can't find any way to set up these groups. I've tried setting up scenes and while they show up, they don't work. I must be missing something because I can't see Z-Way being that non-functional.... Any advice on how I can try to figure out how to actually use Z-Way?

I would also be interested in such a pollling functionality provided by Zway.

Another solution (for some devices) is to set parameters reffering to "unsolicited reports".

You can find the parameter numbers for some devices here: http://manuals.zwaveeurope.com/
You then have to go into "expert mode" in ZWay, and access "For experts" -> "Expert commands", and there you can set different parameters of devices.
