Hub Status During Power Outage

Just an update on this post. I waited 3 hours, and the zigbee sensors refused to work as they should. Still sticking states. I restored a previous working version of my hubs setup from back up in case something got corrupted, no change. I rebooted and also done a shutdown. No change. I removed a battery in one sensor, and bingo that one sensor came back and is operating normally. It appears parts of the sensor is working, in the case of the one I removed the battery, motion sensing was working but temperature wasn't. As soon as removed replaced the battery temperature started reporting. Why won't the sensors rejoin the Zigbee network as they were before? All my sensors that are giving me this trouble after a very specific time, they are battery operated ST sensors, motion and contact. So I looked closer at the logs, and it wasn't the power outage. All of these ST sensors stop reporting after 1:50 AM' ish the previous night!!! This coincidence that my back up runs at 2:15 am? Looking for some insight as to why this happened, or what it is. Have a look at this history, all around the same time they stopped reporting.

could one of your hardwired zigbee switches/devices they are all using as a repeater have stopped working... i had a similiar issue when i put my skis in front of a switch and the metal blocked the switch signal and all sorts of things that were using it as a repeater stopped working.. a failed device can defineately cause this..

It's possible but I have tested all my Zigbee outlets and they indeed work. In addition to that, half of these sensors are within 20 feet of the hub and worked originally without any outlets in place.

So, I just done a restore from the 18th now and i'll see what happens. I was assuming the power outage I had was the culprit, not realizing they stopped reporting a day before that.

So, no change this morning. I removed and installed the battery in another sensor and it immediately started reporting temperature. For now this is the solution. Odd why they are all connected and the motion and contact portion still works but the temperature is stuck. What would cause this?
