(Sorry if this subject has been answered before, I couldn't find it.)
I migrated from my C5 hub to my C7 hub using Hub Protect hub-to-hub-migration cloud setup about a two weeks ago and I have everything working so far.
In the last 4 days I have been running Z-wave Repair trying to fix all the 'Failed Nodes' that I keep getting.
In the pic(1) I am able identify Nodes 58, 5A, and 5D as Bali Z-wave battery powered shades, but for the rest I have no idea.
In pic (2) I see the other nodes listed in Z-Wave radio Devices. But I have no idea what they are or how to remove them, or if is it's even possible to remove them?
Can anyone give me some info on what I'm looking at, or how to fix it.
Thanks

They are ghost nodes from bad pairings. You will not be able to remove them as long as the hub can ping the device that had the bad pairing. It’s probably the next higher node or so.
Your mesh won’t work properly until you remove them.
First, remove power to the device you think caused the ghost nodes. Then hit refresh until you get a remove button, remove them.
Doesn’t hurt to reboot (not reset) the Z-Wave radio before and after removing. Only way to do that is to shut hub down cleanly (settings > Shutdown) to red light, remove power at wall (mains) (not at micro USB plug, which is fragile and can break the solder joints to PC board), power back up after 30 seconds of no power.
If that doesn’t work, see:

I was able to remove all the ghost nodes using the UZB Stick method.
Was able to run a Z-Wave Repair with out any Failed Nodes!
Thanks again!
