A long post, but I need help... I have a relatively simple "Simple Automation Rule" When virtual contact opens, turn on 5 lights When virtual contact closes, wait 1 minute, turn off 5 lights Only do this when it's dark (sunset -30 mins to sunrise +30 mins) The purpose is to light the way when it…

Mesh speed is impacted by two things, the 'baud rate' (9.6k - 40k - 100k are the fixed speeds of communications) and 'quantity' of packets. The more hops, the more total packets. Hub to hop1 to hop 2 to target device puts 3x the number of packets on the mesh vs Hub to target. A 9.6k packet uses 10x…

Thanks for the response! [image] csteele: One of the classic mesh crippling situations we see, from reading hundreds of posts here in the Community, is from Power Monitoring sensors. Maybe you have a Washing machine plugged into a power monitoring outlet and it's just flooding the mesh with min…

OK - did some more playing around. I can report that the new Group Metering feature set to 50 ms solved all my issues with this.

OK - I spoke too soon. I am convinced that there is a firmware bug with outgoing Z-Wave messaging...inbound always works, but outbound appears to get clogged Still having issues with lights triggering from automations. Here is what I have done so far: Moved automations from Webcore to Hubitat a…

I also had my 2 Z-Wave (non-plus) thermostats set with the wrong device driver...I had a Z-Wave plus driver. I just changed them to the Z-Wave (non-plus) generic Z-Wave thermostat driver. I know, I know...not very scientific method like changing 2 things at once...

[image] ksgnow2010: I am convinced that there is a firmware bug with outgoing Z-Wave messaging... Well, not to be an arse, but unless you are sniffing the packets you really don't know, no matter how convinced you think you are. You could be right, but no one else is reporting this. So if it…

Where do I find said Z-Wave sniffer? Is this something you purchase, or is it software that runs with a USB Z-Wave stick?

There are a bunch of threads on here about sniffers. I'll post a link if I get time (am on my phone right now). To sniff you use a USB stick + software on a windows PC. Sniffer needs to be placed in a similar area to the hub so that it 'sees' what the hub 'sees'. A laptop can be handy for this. Th…

[image] Z-Wave Sniffing, Zniffing And You: A Guide To Pulling Packets From Thin Air 🚧 Developers Maybe you've heard people around the community talking about sniffing packets or even misspelling the word "sniffer" as "zniffer". What are they talking about? Maybe some of …

I use one of these on a RasPi. The Z-Way image includes a nice browser-accessible Zniffer utility. Z-Wave.Me RaZberry2 - Z-Wave Plug-On Module for Raspberry Pi (US frequency) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3Q764U
