Anyway to determine how successful z-wave repair was?

Is there any way to see how successful a z-wave repair was? I know I can look at the logs to see it in process, but Iā€™m not really sure what I should be on the lookout for to determine if there were any issues that need addressing.

Wouldn't be cool if you could see a map of the relationships?:thinking:

I'm not sure if you're serious, or if you're being sarcastic. I know there's the "Clusters" column on the z-wave status page. Can I assume everything is working as it should as long as there is something listed in that box for every z-wave device?

Not being facetious. I don't know how to read the Clusters column. Didn't even know what that was.

I'm not sure what it is either to be honest. It was just the closest thing I could find that seemed like maybe it was an indication of how the devices were interacting in the mesh. I thought maybe it worked like a map if you knew how to read it. I agree it would be very nice to see some sort of visual guide of what devices were interacting.

I don't think that's what that is. Looking into it a bit, I think that's the device fingerprint

Ahh, gotcha. All I knew is that I had two devices that didn't have anything listed there and neither of those devices seemed to be working.

It's possible, just not with Hubitat. Homeseer has a tool to do just that. You can even edit the table and change the routing of each device. Which can REALLY screw things up! lol

Look for devices that didn't respond that should have.
In general every mains powered device should respond.
Looks like in Hubitat you dont see non response from battery devices, that must have been an ST thing.

I usually look in Z-wave details page and sort the "last received" column. You should see all the repeaters replied after a Z-wave repair. I just did a Z-wave repair and here's a screenshot.

OpenHab offers a map capability as well. It would be really nice if Hubitat could offer a little more detailed look into the Z-wave routing tables as right now I have no idea, for example, which mains powered repeaters are acting as the "beaming" repeaters for my locks. (Which I've been having a terrible time getting to work properly).

What locks do you have? I have the Yale YRD256 - originally with the z-wave module and have had issues connecting/unlocking etc. Have recently swapped out the module for the zigbee one and found it to be much more responsive. Still early though but thought I'd mention it..
