I have been struggling with my Z-Wave network for some time now, and the consensus among the concilium, such as @jtp10181 and @csteele (for example here ) was that I ****ed up my mesh somehow. I did a lot of work (clearing ghosts, reducing network chatter, etc), but nothing worked. Eventually, I deci…

I'll chime in. :slight_smile: Is there a procedure, somewhere, to track down misbehaving Z-Wave devices? If some, but not all, Z-wave devices are replaced with LR devices, will those devices be affected by the mesh locking up due to a misbehaving Z-wave device?

[image] aaiyar: If the radio is locked up, then all devices will be impacted; regardless of how they communicate with the radio. That's what I thought. So, assuming the OP's issue isn't power supply, it's 'looking for a needle in a haystack' time, to try and find the misbehaving device. edi…

[image] aaiyar: Would help if they had a Zniffer. What is this? Sorry if that is an obvious question.

Addiction is correct. :rofl::rofl::rofl:. Always looking for the next thing.

Sorry for the spam, @jtp10181 . Here's the summary: I thought LR devices, with their direct connection, would perform well despite the mesh problems. They aren't. I wonder why. It doesn't look like a power supply-related problem, as I switched to a wall-connected brick, and it didn't improve. I ha…

Are the 700-series switches LR-capable for certain? I think Zooz did that with a f/w update for some of their 700 devices, but definitely not all.

Really bad Z-Wave performance, even with LR
