    Does anyone have a solid working G3 system at this time?

    As the subject stated, does anyone actually have a solid G3 700 series system that will run for a couple of days without issue? I have tried HS4 with G3 on a couple of different systems with similar results of devices losing connection to the interface and either requiring a reboot or interface restart every few hours? At this point, I'm really doubting if this configuration is even deployable.

    Yes, I have HS4 STD running on a Raspberry Pi (with Raspberry Pi OS), and the 700 series SmartStick+ G3. It works fine. Have you successfully used HS4 before, with a 500 series stick or Pi HAT?

      I too have the 700 series SmartStick running on a Windows laptop without any issues. What hardware are you running HS on? I know a couple of users who had the option to allow the com port to sleep which was causing major issues as one would expect.

        I also should have pointed out: there are (very confusingly) four different Z-Wave plugins available. You need to use version 3.0.7.0 (as of today) or higher, which is described as "Homeseer Z-Wave Beta".

          I have used HS4 Pro for the last several months with G2 and had a semi-stable environment of 60 devices before trying to upgrade. Generally, mainly when adding new devices was the old system giving me issues. I started scratch with a new Asus PN50 and new windows 10 pro OS - added all devices to G3 from scratch and I can get it stable for nothing. Similar to the prior upgrade to G3 and restore of the old G2 backup the devices have trouble communicating with the G3 after a few hours of uptime.. I have used the new z-wave beta from install -made sure when I backed up and restored that the same version of z-wave beta was the same. When clicking on a device it often shows a question mark and doesn't respond - only a reboot gets things back in order - but then an hour later the same devices become non-responsive again.

            I also initially thought the power management may be the culprit on the USB side. But it's set to max performance and no sleep on the PC whatsoever. I even bought a second G3 smart stick thinking it could be bad - same issue - on different machines from scratch is why I had to ask the initial question. Glad to see at least some have success but from a new install I don't get how we could be so different. May I ask how many devices are you running in each of the successful installs?

              I have seen some communication issues with the new stick. The processor on the stick runs a lot faster than the previous one so we are seeing if this is causing some data to be lost on the plugin side. See if you have a lot of devices reporting to the controller and maybe try disabling that for a bit to see if that helps. If we find something I will post.

                Thanks for you help - here is a 10 minute report of devices responding to my HS4. I'll take your advice and disable a few of the more active ones such as the breaker box power meter and see if that has any impact.

                  How many devices do you have connected, and are there 700 series devices in this setup? Myself and others are still having intermittent connectivity losses requiring interface restarts hourly etc.

                    Just an update. I have recreated an issue where the interface "goes to sleep" for some time. This could be a few seconds, to forever. We recreated the issue by having a Aeotec power monitor report power every 2 seconds then have a controller send commands as fast as possible. Obviously this is not normal operation but it quickly locks up the interface. So if you have some devices reporting power, it may cause this. As a test I would stop them from reporting and see if communications is better. Note that I recreated it with this Silicon Labs tools so the issue is not related to HS. It also fails with other brands of USB interfaces so it's not a hardware issue with our SmartStick G3. I have reported it to Silicon Labs and included a test setup so I hope to hear back soon.

                      Thank you, is there a global switch in HS4 to stop devices from reporting or is this something I have do do individually per device in z-wave settings?

                        So this is a potential problem with the stick/firmware and not the hardware the stick is connected to? I.E. Pi4

                          The device is originating the report so you would have to set the proper parameter to the device to stop it from reporting. You can create an event in HS to set parameters so this might make it easier to enable/disable the reporting.

                            Correct. We recreated the issue with Silicon Labs tools so HS was not involved or the cause of the problem.
