I have seen a load of z-wave responded with busy messages and devices not reported in. What I just noticed is that most of my devices are powered but the option to repair them has disappeared. It only runs on the ones that currently have the option.
Never seen it think a powered device is a battery device before
There wouldn't be much if anything in the engineering logs. The engineering logs mostly cover hardware related issues, with some errors hitting the platform at large. Mind sharing some screenshots of what you see?
When the radio reports "busy messages" the environment is volatile and things will go haywire. Stopping devices from flooding the radio is likely the solution. I have seen countless reports of hubs struggling to cope with devices powered by USB that otherwise should be battery operated, especially Aeotec devices. The best thing you can do, is include them with batteries then switch to USB. But not even that is bullet proof. Best not to use sensors as repeaters. Also, make sure your Aetec devices run latest firmware. Some older versions are really buggy.
yes but why all of a sudden? then the hub marking powered devices as non, thats odd
it seemed to start the other day and i think the front room motion battery was flat. But other than that there is nothing on the network that can flood?
These are designed for it and also have been like this for yonks, I actually have them report less when powered.
everything is updated, i always update them when they fix stuff.
That's a question for your devices They are the ones that pound the radio with events.
It's not what you can see that matters, but what you don't. You'd need a Z-Wave sniffer to get to the bottom of it, or work around the problematic devices, that's what I do.
