Something to note. The light on the top goes green right away even before my HS3 gets a chance to connect to it. I thought that light should only go green AFTER HS3 connects to it.

i have 6 z-nets and sometimes for no apparent reason they would get messed up. i found the issue with the Zwave.ini file, located in the Config directory of HS3. You'll see at bottom each zwave interface has a set of lines, including "IFace_5_Ethernet IP=192.168.1.xx". Mine had multiple interfaces with the same IP number.
It's pretty obvious when you look at the file if that's the problem. Couple ways to fix it. if you run automatic daily backups of HS3 directory (you should), just find an older file which looks ok and move it to your current Config directory. If not, make a backup now of the HS3 and then edit the file to try to restore things. Be really careful and triple check, but these are just text files and pretty straightforward.

Where is the program getting an IP address and port for the Z-Stick, which is not ethernet? I edit these lines out and they come back, even when I close HS3 to do the editing and restart the program. I'm not even using the IP subnet any longer, too.

sorry, no idea, been a long time since I had a Z-stick in my system. but i'd approach it by first figuring out what that IP is... if you don't have an IP scanner yet, get one. I use this www.advanced-ip-scanner.com also, i wouldn't make a habit out of editing that .ini file. clearly it gets updated by HS3/Zwave -- so i'd think you should always try to use the zwave management functions. i only edit mine if things get broken -- which on;y tends to happen when i'm making big changes to the zwave network....

Only, one of the two Z-Nets cannot connect. The Z-Wave.ini file is as above. After removing the EthernetIP and EthernetPort of the SmartStick+, which is on a COM port, of course, in the Z-Wave.ini file, my Z-Nets connect. However, after restarting the plugin, when I look again at the Z-Wave.ini file both the EthernetIP and EthernetPort are back for the SmartStick+. This was occurring with HS3 and continues to occur with HS4. Again, where is the program getting this information, why is it being added, and why is a subnet that has not been used in over 5 years being added? macromark any thoughts? Thanks.
HS4 Pro Edition 4.2.19.0 (Windows), Z-Wave 4.1.0.3
