Discussion about the C7

Yes but 2.2.4 is not the final release ever...

They will fix the bugs they know about in this release, and if there are still issues post-release with select people, they'll start working on those next. There has never been an illusion that every bug for every person will be fixed in the next release.

If you are interested in beta testing make sure you sign up and I'm sure they will probably let you in on the next release beta.

My hopes have been shattered.

I’ll admit I do have occasional zwave issues on my C7, however they are usually resolved with a device refresh or repair.

That said, compared to the zwave and hub stability issues I had on Vera, the Hubitat experience feels like living in Gold Class.

Says more about Vera I believe...I'm not touching Z-Wave repair again on this device, it will just give me a couple of new devices that fails or is not responsive which was working perfectly prior to the repair.

It has been said a few times in various threads about z-wave issues to keep aware from a z-wave repair.
Concentrate on the individual device that is giving issues.
The problem is there are so many posts about z-wave it is easy to get lost in all the noise.
Everyone has their fingers crossed for z-wave improvements in 2.2.4. :crossed_fingers:

True, it's a dumpster fire.

Then don't run whole network repairs, just repair the individual device that isn't behaving as per most recomendations.

Can't say I have had any more luck with that unfortunately, but thanks for the tip. I think @bcopeland mentioned that repairs are not needed on z-wave plus devices and all my devices are plus.

I doubt very much he said that - I've only got Z+ devices (~40) and have still had to do individual device repairs occasionally. When issues occur, It's mainly to my Battery devices.

every few days i repair a few devices that are still working but pick up some totaly nonsense route.. i am not sure if it is the device or the hub.. like in the same room with the hub but jumping around the house and dropping to 9.6K my guess is at times something is causing signal interference like a microwave or somthing but not sure how to figure it out.

Microwaves operate on 2.4 Ghz, not ~920 Mhz so that is unlikely. Amateur Radio is a possibility tho.

I get a few devices running at 9.6 Kbps, but they still work perfectly so I ignore them.

He did, and it is true. On homogeneous zwave plus networks, repairs are simply not "needed". They shouldn't hurt anything either though, and can kind of help map out the fallback routes instead of relying on explorer frames.

Yep he did.

I stand corrected.

could be the weather station i think that is in the 900 range.. as is our older corless phone..

phone is is same room but 900 works so much better than newer higher freq ones.
i will experiment moving base to another room.

What are these "phones" you speak of? :wink:

Our ISP provides a free VoIP line but since ditching our old alarm for Hubitat HSM I've decommissioned the ISP Router and replaced it with my own. We don't even have the option for a PSTN anymore as the Phone Line has been terminated at the Micro-Node in the pit out the front of our House (FTTC).

Wasnt a great loss tho, we've been using our Mobile phones exclusively for years now. Ditching your PSTN landline and cordless phones might be an option for you too?

:point_up_2: Exactly.. All plus devices will automatically find their way back home. But it doesn’t hurt to give them a kick in the butt once in a while :wink:

Right.. Also potential 900Mhz sources in no particular order:

  • Baby monitors
  • Cordless phones
  • Proprietary wireless alarms (although most seem to use 433Mhz some have started using 900)

Analog devices that put up a solid carrier wave will be the most destructive.

Huh - I wonder if those proprietary alarm systems at 433Mhz could interfere with Lutron's Clear Connect.

It’s possible
