I'm new to Hubitat so please be kind since this is all new. I did read a lot on this forum trying to make it work before starting a new topic.
I'm finding the reporting of the device's current state to not always correct. For example, a light will be off but the dashboard and the device detail will show that it is on. I will need to hit refresh to have it update to the correct state of the device. I also noticed a few times that devices in my rules, groups, or scenes not always turning on(or off) devices when commanded. This problem is very random so it is very hard for me to troubleshoot the cause. In the 6+ months of using the Qolsys panel to control my zwave devices, I don't remember ever having this problem. It has been rock solid and always showed the correct state of the zwave devices.
Some history....
Only owned the Hubitat for 2 weeks and moved my z-wave devices from my Qolsys alarm panel to Hubitat for better control and automation ability. The Qolsys automation was very limited and could only, in my opinion, do very basic automation. All of my zwave devices are new (less than 7 months old) Jasco/GE zwave plus devices, except 1 zooz Water Valve, Minostat MP21Z outlet switch and 5 Singled Zigbee bulbs. All for Zwave Plus devices and s2 capable. No battery-operated devices.
I first started excluding all of the zwave devices(51 devices) from the Qolsys panel except zwave door locks and zwave garage door controller. That went very smoothly. Then started adding the zwave devices to Hubitat with the closest devices first to build a solid mesh network. All devices were added with S2 security. I did notice, which I thought was odd, that two devices never asked for the S2 5 digit code so they weren't added with security. I didn't think that would matter since they were only light for lighting control and one zooz water valve. In troubleshooting, I did exclude and reinclude all devices that were missing security so they are now all S2.
I did integrate the Qolsys panel into Hubitat so I can see current alarm states and when contact sensors are opened for automation uses. FYI, I did notice the issue with device states not always updating before I integrated the Qolsys panel into Hubitat so I don't think that is the cause of my problem.
What I have done so far, looked for ghost devices, repaired mesh, made sure the hub is updated, proper shutdown and restarting of hub after leaving power off for 20+ minutes, made sure the correct device drives were used, and power cycled all zwave devices.
Additional information, on the Zwave details page in setting, all devices have at least a LWR RSSI: +20dB and all device show a single route to the hub...if I'm reading it correctly.
Does anyone have anything that I should check? Any help would be appreciated.
