I have a C8 hub with a mix of mostly Honeywell, GE switches and dimmers, and then a few sundry Z-wave devices. I was traveling and returned home to none of the automations working. I have no idea what went wrong but nothing on the device list will respond to a manually initiated on/off command, all automations are non-functional, and the Z-Wave Device Topology map is just wacked!
I still have a bunch of devices with "Last Activity" date that is > week old with several being a couple months old. How should I proceed with all of these devices? Leave them for now, remove/exclude and re-add? Suggestions? Again, thank you.
Click refresh, or physically activate the devices.
The last Activity will only update if the hub hears from them.
If your z-wave radio was down for a week it may take 24-48 hours for all the devices to fully recover. They may need to rediscover the routes to the hub, which cannot happen until the closer devices are working first.
Well, after close to 48 hours it seems things haven't improved beyond the Z-Wave graph appearing to have recovered.
No automations were running after waiting for the environment stabilize so I checked on the device page and found that while I can see them listed, they are no longer responding to simple on/off commands. Many of these devices were working but they are not working any longer. I am reaching out again for suggestions.
Regards, Bryan
Shut down hub and unplug for 30 seconds. Once it is back up focus on one device. Pick something closer to the hub. On zwave details run a repair on it. Try activating the device physically a few times then from the hub a few times. Results?
