Possibility of "device notes" that would be linked to the node number

[JohnRob]

The issue I'm trying to "fix" is the loss of device description for ghost nodes. I have a ghost node that has been an issue for some time. However I do know what it was because I periodically copy the Z-Wave status table to Excel.

Would it be possible to have a notes section that will stick to the Node ID? Reason is; when a ghost node occurs the device name is lost. Making troubleshooting that much more difficult

Thanks
John

Have you tried removing it? Any other devices with the same description?

[JohnRob]

This particular "ghost" really really wants to stay. I've tried a number of times. Twice with a Z-Stick with no luck. My Z-Stick, I believe is a 300 level chip(set). Each time it was not able to delete / nor replace the device.
I am currently waiting for my Zooz 800 series stick, due tomorrow (WED).

Do a power cycle for 5 mins and try again (actually shutdown and disconnect power to the hub for 5 mins)

Have already tried. Shutdown for ~ 60 minutes. No go. and various different times for UPS installation etc.

I had another ghost (failed sensor). Was able to delete it in the usual fashion.

My plan (if it comes to this) is to transfer to the new C8. Delete all Z-Wave devices and reinstall the Z-Wave devices.

I realize this ghost likely has no negative functional effect but its like bird poop on the hood of your car. Doesn't effect vehicle function but it doesn't belong there.
