    Two Cooper Aspire RF9517 dropped from network

    My Zwave network has been running great for over a year.

    Yesterday, however, I noticed two Aspire RF9517 accessory switches were blinking and had "unknown" status in HS. One controlled a lutron recepticle that powers a HEPA filter, the other was a virtual 3-way for an Aspire RF9501 that controls my garage lights. A third RF9517 that controls another RF9501 was fine.

    I used the replace node procedure to remove and add back each of the 9517s, which worked great. All I had to do was reset their associations and everything worked.

    I've never had a node drop of the network. We had a brief power outage the night before (less than a second) so maybe that did it, but this brief power losses happen several times a month with no ill effect (I have over 4 hours of online UPS backup on all my computer hardware including HS and ZNet, so they didn't even notice), and there's a whole house surge, so that couldn't have done it either.

    Anyway, all turned out well and the replace node worked great!

    I had a similar thing happen to a 9540 in my home. For no reason whatsoever, it just dropped off my network. I added it back and its functioned fine ever since (happened maybe 6 months ago).

      Ugh, one of the two 9517s dropped off again. Might be a sign that it's going bad. I think they have a 2 year warranty... ordered one in Sep 2015 and the other two a few months later, so I'm still in the window.

        I've had really good luck with Cooper support, they were very responsive and helpful when I had a bad switch previously, so hopefully you experience the same.
