OK, time to report in
I switched my GE switches back to Generic drivers, deleted everything Alexa Speaks and also dropped L360.... and
Prior to this, Z-Wave repair took 2.5 hours (~30 devices), today 9 mins
The GE outlet that generally takes 2-5 seconds and took 28 seconds to turn on last week, has been taking less than a second everytime. Even my wife mentioned how much faster it is
Now to get an updated Echo Speaks app and see if we are still in business
