    Polling vs Not-pollling question

    I have seen a lot of back and forth about polling, and based on what Richard @ HS says, you shouldn't have to poll things.

    Well, it turns out that the CT100 must be polled for specific info. Also, I have 4 light switches that do not support associations, so the only way to get their status is by polling, correct?

    I poll them every 15 seconds, which I do not consider extreme.

    So with polling the CT100 at 1 minute intervals, and the lights at 15 seconds, I wouldn't expect that to be enough to overload the system and result in these errors:

    Mar-31 4:31:53 PM Z-Wave Error Z-Troller: Error, the Z-Wave API Transmit Queue is not empty after waiting 20 seconds - the interface may be disconnected or not operational (Z-Troller).

    Actually, every 15 seconds is a bit on the extreme side. If you dont have them staggered somewhat, that would definitely queue up some poll/responses.

      That's VERY extreme, actually... especially if you have a number of switches installed. FYI - the minimum polling interval specification for Z-Wave plus is 60 seconds.

        I only have 4 switches and I made them 2 minutes. Still getting transmit queue errors overnight.

          Have you staggered the times?

            Sure did, but you can only change the repeat rate, not the start timing, so they are bound to overlap at some point.

            Came back from the gym to this:

            1 minute apart

              That is very strange. Can you try turning off polling on everything except one node, then turn each one back on one at a time?

                Make sure you're using the latest HS3 Z-Wave beta plug-in. Then power cycle your Z-Troller and be sure to remove the batteries (and leave them out). Also, check your Z-Troller cables to verify you don't have any bent or pinched pins. Then, try again.
