I have a stubborn ghost node (device physically dead and pulled) that I can't seem to Remove.
Below is the log output from a Repair attempt, multiple Refresh cycles (have done this process a few times), and failure to ultimately Remove the node.
Node only ever says Pending even after identified as unreachable.
Thanks, but this opens up another can of worms then. I do have that device but I have NEVER tried to pair it with this C7. I use to have it paired to my C3 but didn't have any need to connect it to the new C-7.
So why would it grab it? What if this would have been my neighbors device? Not good that it would randomly grab a device I didn't try to pair.
But problem solved on the node. I can now delete it. Thanks.
@bcopeland Just FYI this is what I was always getting as well when trying to remove ghosts on my C7 (network busy). Then it would basically bring the whole network to a halt if I kept trying and I would have to reboot. Once I got a USB stick I went in with that and two clicks and they were gone. Come to think of it the whole thing has been much more stable since I got rid of them.
I had tried removing this device a day or two ago and I got the dreaded "Z-Wave Network responded with Busy" message. So surprised it worked this time.
My current ghost device issue was caused when removing a particular Zooz device. I have since reset this device. Is there any concern with me adding this specific device back into the network while there is still a ghost device for the same physical device? Or should I first wait until I am able to get rid of this ghost device?
I have ordered a UZB Stick and will receive it tomorrow. Would you prefer I wait a while to use the Stick to delete the ghost device? Or is it likely that troubleshooting and resolving this problem is going to take a while?
The device has been reset manually. Will I need to remove power from the device? It's currently still wired into the light switch and I hope to be able to re-include it eventually.
