So I needed to add an Everspring Z-Wave Door/Window sensor to my network to replace an old DS10.
Previously, using the Z-Troller, I'd simply press the delete button on the Troller, activate the sensor... Done. Then Add the new device the same way and then import it. I'd never had an issue doing that, ever.
Today, adding this new device, and the SmartStick being a Network Wide Inclusion device, I selected Remove Node on the SmartStick menu, activated the sensor and a device was successfully removed. The only thing is that the node that was removed was not this door/window sensor, but one of my Schlage locks on the other side of the house. I hadn't touched the lock, perhaps it woke up at that moment to report. Second try, a HS-FLS Floodlight device was deleted.
I finally did get the new sensor added, but now I need to pull the lock off the door to retrieve the master code in order to re-add it, then repair all the associated events in HS. Same thing with the Floodlight sensor, although that will hopefully be an easier process. The code for the lock had been recorded, but that information was in the old HS2 database which has been recently uninstalled. I hadn't gotten around to recording the data in HS3 as yet.
Point is, why would the Smartstick have removed the wrong node in the first place? I'm not impressed.
