Hey everyone, been lurking and learning for awhile and really appreciate the breadth of knowledge and kinship this community has.
This morning I updated to 2.2.4.139, performed a reboot afterward, and for awhile everything worked fine. I let the Z-wave network settle for 4-5 hours after reboot and performed a repair as there have always been odd routes listed (i.e. routing loops where the secondary connections are faster and more reliable than the primary connections the secondaries talk through). The repair hung, and most devices failed.
I then updated to 2.2.4.142, performed a shutdown, unplugged, waited 5 minutes, re-plugged, and let the Z-wave network settle for another 4-5 hours. When I tried to do a repair on a single device (a repeater), the repair fails always at the "assigning route 5" step. Subsequent repairs fail and/or receive a "network busy message." I don't have the most robust network, but I do have ~15 devices that are all within decent proximity to the hub/repeater. Prior to 2.2.4, I've never had an issue with performing a repair. Here's what I'm seeing in the logs:
Once a repair is initiated (total network repair or individual device repair), everything Z-Wave begins crawling/not responding to controls until I perform a hub reboot.
Any insight or assistance would be most appreciated.
If you're happy, there may be little reason to move.
However, they really did a bang up job in 2.2.4 in terms of making things more reliable. It's not perfect yet-but it's generally lot better that 2.2.3. For C7 devices, they redid the Z-Wave implementation dramatically.
They also added some cool features and a bunch of device drivers.
For new users, could someone please post a link to instructions on HOW to revert back to a previous version? .141 seems fine for me, but I'm betting new users who updated to .142 are thinking, "Oh, ____!", and I know I have no idea how to revert back if I needed to do so.
I reverted to .141, shutdown waited 5 minutes, powered up, and now everything seems to be working normally again. All devices are responsive and the repair completed (mostly) successfully. The repair failures are on a couple of devices that are at the boundary of the Z-Wave mesh. I'll be adding more devices & repeaters shortly which should help strengthen the mesh.
