I've been running Zwave for years, without a problem. Suddenly, I'm getting various messages about devices not being reachable, not responding, etc. What I've found is the my Z-Wave network is completely garbled.
I have one network with two controllers (big house, lots of distance). One is in the garage, for the first floor and the north end of the house. The second is in the basement, for the south end of the house and numerous devices that are physically close to the controller. What's now happening is that the devices close to the basement controller aren't responding. A little detective work discovered that's because the garage controller seems to be the only one that is used.
Note: I replaced both Z-Nets with the latest models, just to remove any doubt. Waste of money.
Some details: both controllers are on the same Home Id. The garage controller is listed as the Main interface. However, the basement controller is show with a check mark next to "Make this the MAIN interface." There is no way to remove that check mark. WTF?
At startup, The log reports that "ZNETGarage There is a SUC/SIS in the network" and "ZNETGarage is the SIS for the network.." A few seconds later it reports "ZNETBasement There is a SUC/SIS in the network." and "ZNETBasement is the SIS for the network." Huh?
In Node information, the Z-NET in the garage is the first device listed. The Basement Z-Net is device 22. However, throughout the listing there is this message "(Interface 22 Not Found)." Everything is routed from the Z-NET in the garage, sometimes through several nodes. Many of those commands never make it, so the log is full of "4/26/2020 17:34:25 Legacy-Plugin Z-Wave Error Failed sending Z-Wave command to device: Pond Basement Pond Fill," a device that is almost six feet away from the Basement Z-NET device.
I'm running HS 4.0.4.0 beta. I tried reverting to HS3, but the screwed up Z-wave network is retained.
I've been running some version of HS since 1999. I was reluctant to switch to Z-Wave, largely because it is so complex and iffy. I cannot afford to have a home automation network that is unreliable. I trusted HomeSeer, and now I'm very sorry I did. I have numerous HS installations in the area, and I'm now in search of a home automation solution that is RELIABLE.
