How to mark battery powered device as failed ?

Hello,

In the documentation (2.3.3), it's stated :
Only devices marked as failed can be excluded from the network without using the exclusion function.
But I don't find the function to call for that. Does anyone can tell me how to do ?

Best regards

He is actually asking for a function ;) There is a function "Function Class RemoveFailedNode" but you can only use this if the node is marked as failed. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to do this "programatically" :(

I have the same problem that i get nodes that are removed or otherwise unavailable. But since i dont run the web-ui i can' t easily remove them. To make things worse the dongle seems to store information internally. Not even removing the configuration make nodes to be forgotten. A big pita while developing :|

What is wrong with occasionally using the Expert-UI?

OK, I tried in expert mode and commands issued are:

http://<ip:port>/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[x].SendNoOperation()
http://<ip:port>/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[x].WakeupQueue()
http://<ip:port>/ZWaveAPI/Run/IsFailedNode(x)

I guess the latest marks the node as failed if it fails to establish a connection.

Thank you
