Sigh - so I was having Zwave issues (yet again) on 2.2.4.147, so I decided to upgrade to 2.2.4.148 before I deployed my Range Extender 7. I noticed some of my Zwave devices didn't work and imagine my surprise when I see this:
Yea, I’m seeing a bunch of background route improvements (unprompted by any repair attempts). Looks like Z-Wave Plus auto route assessments are improved in 2.2.4.147 and 2.2.4.148. Getting close to what I would manually pick if that were possible.
Yeah, .148 was just released a few hours ago. I am having issues with a Zooz ZEN25 hub but I think it's related to the location so I decided to upgrade first and then drop my Range Extender 7 in and see if that helps.
I’ve updated 7 hubs to .147 yesterday, then to .148 again this morning.
It’s daytime so the number of automations that run with a visible result are few, but I do have a downstairs bathroom light triggered by motion and it’s the ‘canary in the coal mine’ for me. That light MUST come on within 300 ms or else @bobbyD gets a message from me.
It’s working fine, a ZWave Motion triggers one half of a Qubino Dual switch. It’s not complicated but it’s all ZWave and I watch it always.
Said another way, with 7 hubs, a C-3, two C-4, two C-5 and two C-7, if there was a systemic problem, surely one of my hubs would see it, right?
This has also just happened with me running a C5 on 2.2.4.148.
Last night I noticed on of my Z-Wave light switches wasn’t working so I thought it was that device, rebooted the hub this morning and now there are no Z-Wave Devices in the list
The Hub, light and tiny, makes one think it's a simple device.. but it's a complete computer with OS (Linux) and Java environment we call the Hubitat Platform. There's also the 'peripherals': aka Z-Radios. Obviously then, the Groovy stuff of Apps and Drivers are sandboxed by the Platform.
The image in my head looks something like this:
A "reboot" recycles the Platform (and Groovy) but never touches the Z-Radios or the Linux OS. To cycle those, requires a shutdown of the platform (to a Red LED) then removing the power for a few seconds.. long enough to dissipate the power left in the capacitors. We usually recommend 30 seconds.
