Ring gen 2 z wave extender mains power detection

Regardless of how ‘fairly careful’ you craft your reply, I don’t know why someone how doesn’t even use the hardware combination in question is replying at all, much less replying with known incorrect information.

I looked back through that thread just now and saw that I did previously test on my C-5, and was unable to make it report loss of power there, as I replied to you then:

@JB_TX

I have 3 Gen2 Range Extenders that happily report status on my C5 hub. (And previously had a Gen 1 that reported power status on the same C5.)

That doesn’t match my testing, they didn’t report power source on my C-5, but they do when paired S2 on my C-7. Perhaps I did something wrong, perhaps you know some trick that I don’t. However, Bryan Copeland (@bcopeland) reported the same in another thread:

But these Ring gen2 repeaters are my favorite repeaters at the moment.

Now fair warning.. They don’t like C5 (they stop reporting when not included with S2)

Also, I said what I did because @ellomdian, the poster to whom I replied, said their hub was a C-7.

Apparently, you obtained different results that I and Bryan Copeland did when we tested. Perhaps the firmware in the Ring Range Extenders changed from the ones that Bryan Copeland and I tested to the one you tested. I believe that the only driver available back then may have been the user-contributed one that Bryan Copeland wrote, not the updated built-in one he based on his user-contributed one. My reply was based on information known to me. Perhaps I made a mistake, won’t be my first or my last.

Regardless, to answer your puzzlement as to why I replied, I was trying to help the original poster who started this thread. That was my only motivation. Sorry if it set you off. Peace.
