This topic was opened to get a better overview of (partially) failing Z-Wave devices. I do hope other users will help to collect well documented cases. I'll try to keep the summary on this first page updated.

• Merten Connect 5051xx: None of them have been able to successfully include
  See viewtopic.php?f=3423&t=22628&p=60255#p59991
  note from PoltoS: From the post you refer to it looks like the device is not a problem with Z-Way, but is with other devices (means it can not contol other than Merten). But Z-Way can catch events from it and handles them
• UZB1: Many off these devices fail to the update bootloader
  See viewtopic.php?f=3422&t=22529
• RaZberry in combination with RaspberryPi 2: Less stable compared to Raspberry B
  See viewtopic.php?f=3422&t=22453&p=59554#p59554
• Eurotronic Comet TRV: Unstable/Unreliabale with ZWay

  See viewtopic.php?f=3422&t=20042&p=51950 (bug reported to Fibaro)
• ZME_054436 wall controller Does not include with v2.0.1-rc33

This list far from complete. It is based on reports on this forum. I may have missed some of the reports. Send me a PM with a link if I overlooked your report.
There are some guesses that 10% of the Z-Wave devices are flawed. This can happen a.o. because of non-conformity to Z-Wave specifications, weaknesses in the Z-Wave specifications, and quality standards for manufacturing, ...

Good idea to have a list available. But more important is when the problems will be solved. Gen 5 seems to be a serious issue.

The quality of this topic is totally dependent on feedback that I receive. Both on problems and solutions! So please keep reporting with details on which devices have which problems. Links to problem descriptions are welcome too

I do see some positive movement in the right direction. RC33 works quite well but no doubt PST02-1B and ZD2102-5 still not working but I am more optimistic that finaly a reliable system will be at the end. I hope verry soon because I am in the test phase since 5 months.

I am waiting for a decent system since I joined three years ago. My experience with projects that take this long to mature, have little chance for survival. So Ikeep my fingers crossed as my production system still is badly crashing every 10 days or so....

But you are still running it. So seems not be so bad!?

thaui wrote:But you are still running it. So seems not be so bad!?

Yes, I am running it; but no one else in the house is willing to take responsibility, because it is too awkward.

I am still interested in well documented device failures. I you have any such cases posted on this forum, please send me a PM, and I'll add the device to the list in the first post of this topic.

Please no failing devices reports here.

Strangely, this compatibility list declare both devices as being compatible

That list seems to have no single device incompatible with Z-Way Probably it is not very accurate.
