C8 Z-wave Repair with multiple failed nodes

C8 - Platform Version 2.3.6.146
I am uncertain exactly when my issue started, but I started noticing some automations werent happening or were happening with a severe lag in time.
Looking into this I see I have several z-wave devices that are no longer responding. If I go to some of those devices and physically turn them on or off or dim it looks like the device stats update, and others just no longer communicate. I have tried the Z-Wave repair and I get multiple failed nodes. Please help!

Could you post a screenshot of your entire zwave table? The part you’ve posted indicates you have atleast one stranded or ghost device.

Sure thing! Thanks,

Is there action I need to take to remediate stranded or ghost devices? Call a priest? :slight_smile:

You have at least 3 ghosts that need removed. The ones with the discover buttons. Click refresh on those lines and wait for the remove buttons. They are likely causing your mesh issues.

@jwzimms - I'd recommend you shut down your hub, pull power, wait a minute, restore power, and then try the Refresh buttons on the devices that @rlithgow1 referred to.

Thanks for the helpful recommendations. I was able to exorcise all but one of those ghosts and much of my z-wave behaviors have been restored. I appreciate the help!
