Is there a simple way to have z-way-server refresh all devices associations?

I find that from time to time, maybe once or twice a year, that there is need to check the association information on all devices.

Thanks!

You can press Update from device button in Expert UI in Association tab. You can also use a single API command for this if you can do a bit of JS programming.

But why should they change if you have not altered them?

Why do they change?

This last time it was from a misbehaving Vera hub, which obviously not a typical condition.

Otherwise? I have seen scene controllers which have incorrectly manipulated associations, and there is at least one switch would also bump associations.

All of the devices that I can think of that exhibit this sort of behavior are older devices, I can't think of any device made in the last couple of years that will screw with associations.

Except for of course... Vera's hub, which doesn't exit a z-wave network correctly when it is a secondary hub. Vera's hub also does not always observe its setting to not Associate itself when configured to not associate.

Either some controller is setting them (like Vera) or it is a device bug (we have seen few in the past, but that was 7 years ago)
