    I opened a trouble ticket on this and will update this thread if I learn something that may be helpful to others. Thanks

    If anyone has any new ideas for how to get instant status to work with a DZ6HD I’m all ears. I’ve tried all of the suggestions in this thread, and still no joy. Running the latest HS4, latest z-wave plug-in SW and the 1.2 FW on the switches. Thanks.

    Hi guys,

    For what it is worth, I was having this issue with a bunch of new DZ6HD's I added recently. After running a "Fully Optimize a Network" all DZ6HD's and other instant status capable devices started reporting immediate status. Interestingly some of the devices are on older firmware, e.g. v 1.17 others are 1.2. but they all reported instant status regardless.

    Thanks

    That didn't take long at all. Yet another voodoo fix that does not work a second time once the instant status stops working.

    Still looking for ideas on the fix for this. All help appreciated!

    These came with 1.20 on them...

    The instant updates started working without any intervention from me, stayed working for about 2 weeks and then stopped. I tried lots of voodoo this and that, but the thing that has seemed to fix it is to poll the light switches. I've set it to every 15 minutes and that has made it work even when I'm not polling (as in instant update is actually working instantly). I may be able to set it to poll once a day or some longer interval. I'm still not 100% that this is the solution, but it fixed both switches when I did it to them.

    I will update again as time passes...

    Then the Hail command is not supported on that device. As a matter of fact, I just looked up these devices... they are Z-wave Plus. Then they never would have used Hail, they are modern Z-wave devices fully licensed for Instant Status. But apparently there was an issue when they were initially released and instant status was not working, firmware 1.20 solves this.

    Did you flash these to 1.20 after you included them into HS? If so, then exclude them, do a factory reset on the dimmer, then re-include it.

    If none of the above applies then you should open a ticket with HST support, these devices should be reporting instant status as per the DZ6HD manual.

    I don't see a group 255 in the list:

    When you pull down the Association Group list (like I show in my screen cap), what Groups are listed? Is it just Group 1?

    The reason I ask is that if Group 255 (the Hail group) is listed and you are presently not getting instant status, then add the Group 255 association to Homeseer to see if that helps.

    Interesting on the Hail command history.

    Here's what my associations looks like on both switches:

    The Hail command existed when companies didn't want to pay Lutron for the instant status licensing fee, but eventually Leviton and Cooper did. Many of these devices used Group Association 255 to implement Hail, but subsequent firmware updates (because of the license) eliminated the need for the Hail.

    Below is what happens when I retrieve the Associations from my older Cooper Aspire dimmers that support instant status, notice that Group 255 is listed, but you don't want to use it. Usually all that is required for instant status (for devices that support it) is the Group 1 association to Homerseer.

    What associations do your DZ6HDs list?

    So if you dont have firmware 1.20, that could be the issue

    I used zflash and homeseer usb zwave+ key. The 1.20 leviton firmware comes with zflash
    Hey thanks for the tip. Both lights are running firmware 1.20.

    That is a huge help, not just for this issue, but in general. I only just noticed the "Replace Node" button and I was wondering if it would work to be used like that. I didn't want to reinclude anything and break events doing so. Thank you very much for this!
    You're welcome, the only caveat is that you have to do it in the order specified or things might go haywire.
