Z-Troller and Z-Wave Plus

[mkropp]

I have an old Z-Troller. Basically, it works just fine. Lately I've been having trouble with some devices, specifically the Fibaro multi-sensor, and the Monoprice multi-sensor. Both are Z-Wave plus. They were both difficult to add and almost impossible to configure. Parameters not being set or timing out even though I made sure the device was awake at the time. Many times after trying, the Z-wave page for the device comes back blank and I often have to restart the Z-Troller to get it back? What's up? Do I need something newer?

Z-Wave plus is touted at being backwards-compatible, so theoretically, all Z-Wave plus devices should work with the older version. When you do add them in HS, try adding them as non-secure and see if that helps

Side hijack..

What does the add non secure do? I just got a z-net and adding into network via z-tool+ and i did that not knowing why
