I have a lot of rules for some of my devices but need to exclude/include some devices due to bad behavior... Can I run a backup, exclude/include the devices, then restore the backup safely?? Will this avoid breaking all the rules I've defined??
Thanks -
Unfortunately, that technique you proposed will not really help.
What types of devices are you having issues with? If they are Zigbee devices, you can reset the device (without removing g from Hubitat) and then re-pair it again with the Hub. Zigbee devices will “pop”back into the original Hubitat devices and work as if nothing has changed.
Z-Wave devices must be Excluded via the Hub to ensue they are removed from both the Hub and its z-wave radio. Once excluded/removed from the hub, it can be Included again, but will always create a new Z-wave device on the hub. You’ll have to fix all of the Automations, Rules, Dashboards, etc... that the devices were used in.
Just put them on the naughty step and tell them to stay there until they realise what they have done.
Sorry to be so flippant but sometimes I can't help being an idiot............ 
OK! Thanks for the info, at least I know… All devices are Z-wave (7 Leviton DZPD3 dimmer modules, 1 Enbrighten Wall Dimmer), 1 Octan Remote, 2 Hank 4-button controllers… went through firmware upgrade on DZPD3’s with Aeotec Z-Stick from Leviton Tech Support… configured all using Ryan780’s Decora driver to “Lights turn on to:100”, 0 fade on/off, etc., then reset driver to “Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer”… The Hanks are controlling Lamps 5, 6, 7 just fine from RM…
Here is the current issue that’s causing a LOT more gray hair: I can’t seem to even get buttons 2 & 3 on the Octan to toggle. Button 1 works fine (I did an If-Then to toggle because it would return to whatever the last setting was):
Select Actions for Octan button 1 pushed, Toggle Lamp 4
IF (Dimmer level of Lamp 4(1) is <= 97(T) [TRUE]) THEN Dim: Lamp 4: 100 --> fade: 0 ELSE Dim: Lamp 4: 0 --> fade: 0 END-IF
Select Actions for Octan button 1 held, Start Lowering Lamp 4
Start lowering: Lamp 4
Select Actions for Octan button 3 pushed, Toggle Lamp 3
Toggle: Lamp 3
… which doesn’t work on either button… per the log below, nothing happens (including running the action from RM)… the light works fine from device screen…

I ran the Exclude/Include on Lamp 3, rebuilt all the rules, and got exactly the same result… I am a bit mystified, would appreciate any help…
