I have 6 Aeotec range extender 7 in my mesh for over a year now. I found out that they do not really seem to do much, only 2 of them repeated for other devices (each one repeated for 1 other device).
So went and ran a firmware update to the latest version 1.5.
All went fine but now 30 hours after the update none of them repeat for other devices
Any way, my question is - they now seem to be looking like that in the Z-wave mesh detail app (notice the 'No Data' at the right side):
Z-wave mesh is a mystery lol... I too use RE7s (4 of them placed strategically in my house), and at one point or another, all of them have done repeating, so I know they all work.
As of this moment, only one is repeating for a couple devices -- everything else is direct to hub (my property is relatively small).
I still like the peace-of-mind knowing that the RE7s are well-placed to pick up any necessary repeating functions in the future, but I long ago gave up trying to understand the "why's" of z-wave mesh - it's a path to insanity!
Each ZWave device has slots for N routes (memory constrained).. the info you see is from the most recent successful communications. Therefore you can't know that 20 of your devices have the RE7 as the second or third row of a routing table.
