Aeotec Dual Nano Switch in detached garage not responding

[olliesshop]

Both manual and digitally work sometimes, but if it does work it always takes a few minutes to show in the Dual Nano switch Devices and my Dashboard. Also, if it eventually "connects" then I often can turn the switch on/off quickly, with good response times.

Hi @olliesshop. Where did you put the repeaters? Near the hub or in the garage?

[mark.cockcroft]

does it start to work and then work for a while?
i have one zigbee device and one zwave device and its like they or the hub radios go to sleep or low power mode.

is there such a thing of low power/sleap for the radios? ZB and ZW?

[olliesshop]

The repeaters are in the garage, next to the switch. This is not an ideal location, since it's supposed to be between the hub and the switch, although there's only grass between the office hub and the garage. I was hoping the repeater would have better reception than the Dual Nano switch and then would relay the signal to the switch ... but that doesn't appear to true.

[olliesshop]

I believe so, since once it finally starts responding, it normally will turn the switch on/off quickly. I do this a few times for testing, then the next time I try it again it won't respond.

[mark.cockcroft]

same for me!
@bobbyD , does the hub have a sleep/low power mode, ive seen a few posts recently regarding on/off events (like this) not getting repoted back to the hub, repeater are advised but like @olliesshop mine are either responsie then for some reas unresponsive

Z-Wave Plus Qubino Mini Dimmer ZMNHHD1

It didn't dim with the quibino flush dimmer driver. So I started trying other build in drivers. The fibaro seemed to function best at that time. But in the logs I get some errors tho. I didn't research further since for my use this is working. Ideally a custom mini dimmer driver would be better ofcourse and probably omit the errors.

Devices out of sync regularly

Hello HE Support and Community, I have been experiencing sync issues between the state of my devices and what my Hubitat shows. For instance, the hub will show several of my lights and switches as ON when in reality they are off. It does not matter if they are Z-Wave or WiFi devices. If I go to the individual switch and hit 'refresh' the correct state then gets captured in the hub. Also, if I cycle the device from the Hub dashboard or if a user uses the device (physically toggles it) then the Hu…

Try putting one of the extenders within a 5 feet of the hub and one within 5 feet of the switch. Then do a z/wave repair. Wait 24 hrs and see if that cures it

[mark.cockcroft]

@rlithgow1

Wait 24 hrs

why 24H afer a repair?

[mark.cockcroft]

just tryed 3 switch now, all working fine all day, now for no reason (?) two dimmers unresposive

[olliesshop]

That's exactly what happens to me too, they get grayed out and go into "perma-hold". Also, even after I refresh my dashboard, it still doesn't show correctly. The dashboard will say they're on when they're actually off, and vise versa.

[olliesshop]

There's really no place to put an extender anywhere between the hub and the switch, not even a foot closer. Although, I could try putting them next to the hub and the switch, if you think that would help. Also, I've done a few Z-Wave repairs with no effect.

[olliesshop]

Well this is interesting ... I just attempted to turn the switches on/off and they worked this time, with about a 5 second delay. I'll have to do more testing to see if it stays that way, although, I have no expectation it will continue to work properly. Could it be that the Range Extender 7 actually helped? BTW, the Range Extender is actually about 10 feet farther away than the switch, which seems counter intuitive.

[olliesshop]

Never mind ... it won't work again.

[mark.cockcroft]

just tested again and its responding to digital commands

[olliesshop]

Interesting. Do you think it will continue to be temperamental and quit working again

[mark.cockcroft]

3 days experance is saying full function is intermitant, ironacly for my devices, power and dimmer level reports are getting processed, just not on / off

[mark.cockcroft]

was working then, stopped working, can see power reports so light is on but the on report hasnt been sent

[olliesshop]

Mine is similar, but now it's "usually" just a major time lag between when I flip the digital switch, to when is updates my Dashboard. It seems like they're often out of sync.

Here's the events for Garage switch 1. For now it's somewhat responsive.

[olliesshop]

It also occurred to me that the Hub and it's Z-Wave USB stick might be pointing the wrong direction. So I flipped it 180° to see if it would help. Do you know if the Hub and Stick directional?

I've also been looking at HubConnect, which will likely help, but it seems like it's overkill. Would that help you out?

[mark.cockcroft]

i have it with zigbee and z-wave, ive turned off hub connect and still doing it.

in the z-wave i and getting some strange readings when clicking save and congfigure on the device
