Can't get up-to-date status for Z-wave devices

That Topic does not indicate "broken" -- it indicates a potential for better User info.

My message immediately above indicates that... some "beautification" needs to occur.

That doesn't alter the way the ZWave microcode out there on the ZWave Radio works. The REPLACE feature does not exist until there's a device in FAILED state. That's just the way SiLabs invented this and has been true for at least 4 years back to the identical feature that was available on my Staples Connect in 2016. It's how it works when you buy a ZWave Radio USB stick and use SiLabs PC Controller too.
