Hi,

I have the problem that most of my devices (switches, dimmer, thermostat) stop working after a few days in action. They still report the status and are shown as active but they do not react to any state changing commands from my razberry again.

As soon as I force a new interview the device works again. I haven't been able to find a pattern yet. Some devices stop working after a few days, some after a few hours. It's quite annoying because you can't rely on it.

Does anyone has seen this before - and know how to fix?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello,

which Z.Way Version is installed on your RPi?
What do you use, a UZB or a Razberry?

Best regards

Hi,

I'm using a Razberry. I'm on the latest 2.2.3 firmware - but I've seen this behaviour also on earlier versions.
Thanks for your help,

Robert

Hello,

the newest version is 2.2.5. Please save a backup in SmartHome UI and Expert UI and update your System.

Hi,

I tried the upgrade to 2.2.5 but all my Fibaro Motion sensors stop working. So I had to roll back. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello,

deactivate all your Apps and investigate that problem further.

I have the exact same problem with Leviton dimmer/scene capable switches. Works for a day or days - sometimes hours and then stops responding to actions (e.g. on/off etc.). The device will indicate active and even reflect a state change if I toggle the Leviton switch. Re-interview and it works again (temporarily). I even sent a switch back for a replacement to have it happen again.

2.2.3
Razberry2 (latest board with longer range antenna).

I'm seriously disappointed as this is unreliable and therefore quickly becomes a useless product. Support wants us to upgrade but the issues change from 1 -2 problems to a host of new problems. Then they release 2.2.5 with zero release notes. I honestly get tired of trying to figure out why something isn't working and support is simply non-existent. Rather than introduce new features, focus on maintenance builds until we reach a stable state.

I can understand your frustration, and that of others facing the same.

In my role of moderator I raised Issue #120 on github.

I can confirm that I experience the same type of problem as described above for switches.
I've upgraded to 2.2.5, still same type of problem.

@PoltoS, thanks for updating release notes for v2.2.5
