I included 6 devices today and did an exclude/include on a few more. I see one device only has a generic name, Inovelli Dimmer Red Series LZW31-SN. After going through my list of devices I don't see one I didn't name, but I could be 100% positive if I could see what DSK was associated with the device. Is there any way to find that out in Hubitat without say pushing the paddle of every device and looking at the log? It seems the DSK has to be stored somewhere in Hubitat that can be looked up.
I've seen ghost devices before, and had to clear one today, but I've never seen one with such complete info:
Hello, I accidentally encountered this. The only method I'm aware of is to exclude/include the device. I don't think the DSK can be seen unencrypted, once device is joined. When security box pops up, uncheck all the boxes, you'll then see the dsk. It's a PITA but works. I had to do it with a schlage z-wave module I got from Ebay really cheap, but the dsk sticker was missing.
Another way to ID switches, without the dsk, would be to change the switches LED bar color to unique colors and ID each switch by the LED bar color
The LED color is a great idea. I've never set the LED before. If I want the LED for the mystery device to Flashing Purple if the light is on or off what params do I need to set that?
I did see those. There seemed to be an overwhelming array of choices. I am just not quite sure which to set. I’ll check it out again. I was hoping to have it flash but I think that may be just a notification and not just while on and/or off
If you're using the "notification LED" child devices, you have to set all four options (in the parent device) before it will create the child device (when you do a "Save Preferences"). That's the only way you could get it to flash besides calculating a value to use with the "Set Indicator" command on the device page--which if you wanted to do that, this tool makes it easy. For example, 67046103 would give you a flashing pink LED bar on an LZW31-SN (double-tap the config button to cancel once you find the device in question, or send a "Set Indicator" command again with a parameter of 0).
But to just change the "regular" LED color, either "LED Strip Color" (as suggested above) would work, or "Custom LED RGB Value." They are both the same thing, and if a custom value is provided it will override the other selected value ... so I'd just make it easy and choose something besides "Blue" (or whatever you might have others set it) from the drop-down. Or do the notification LED like above to make it fun.
So, as Alice said, curiouser and curiouser. So I set the LED color to purple and intensity to 100% for the unknown device. I went around to every Red Dimmer (LZW31-SN) and pushed the paddle up and down but none turned purple.
However, there was one device that was non-responsive. I went into the Logs and it didn't show up when I pushed it. In fact, it wasn't even in the old logs. (It is Master Bedroom Stuart's Closet Right Side Switch)
But yet still wasn't in the Logs and it was still non-responsive.
So I did a hub shutdown through Hubitat and then left it unplugged it for 5 minutes. After I plugged the hub back in and waited for it to come up I was able to do an exclude/include on this device.
BTW, I then did an exclude/include on a fan/light in that room so I could remove its security too and then did a firmware update to 1.36 so I can now disable the delay. That took about 12 minutes, as expected and the firmware update went smoothly.
However, after that I could not exclude any of the remaining S2 devices and the mystery device is still there. I tried to "refresh" and "repair" the mystery device several times but that did nothing. So I have no idea what's going on.
My understanding is that this shouldn't be necessary any more (but was a lot for me in the early days of the C-7...) but still can't hurt: do a Settings > Shutdown, then remove power from the hub for at least about 30 seconds or so, then restart. The idea is to drain all residual power from the Z-Wave radio, which a regular reboot or shutdown (without removing power) will not do. If the radio gets stuck in a "hosed" state, this can help; symptoms for me were inability to pair devices (maybe exclusion, too, but I didn't try that as much) and lots of "Z-Wave network is busy" warnings in the logs, but there may be others.
As for "refresh" and "repair": if the device isn't responding, a "repair" is unlikely to bring it back (or do anything at all, since it can't be reached), though I suppose it can't hurt. A "refresh" should update the device's Z-Wave status and eventually show it as not reachable--if it is indeed. If it can be reached, it won't, and you won't get options to remove or replace it (though regular exclusion should work if it is). Resetting or removing power from the device is one way to change what a "refresh" might do. Not that any of this will help you figure out what the mystery device is, but I suppose if you have one that isn't responding and it's the only one you can't account for, that would be a good conclusion.
Except that wasn't it since I was able to exclude it and then re-incude it (with no security this time). So the magical mystery tour continues. (Boy, that sounds like a great title for something).
Have you tried a simple rule to toggle the dimmer on and off, with a toggle rate of a couple of Hz or so? That should be easy to spot, just walking around.
Ding, dong the switch is dead! Which old switch? The wicked switch. Ding, dong, the wicked switch is dead!
I just upgraded to 2.2.6.139 and went back to my Z-Wave devices table. This time the device was still there, but there was nothing in the last column for its path and speed. When I did a refresh this time I did get the option to remove it. I had to click Remove 2 times, but the 2nd time was the charm and now the device is gone. Gone with the wind. (to mix my 1939 and 1940 movie references out of chronological order)
