SiLabs PC Controller as Secondary - how to update with newly added devices?

[mark.amber]

I'm running the SiLabs PC Controller program as a Secondary controller pair with my Hubitat C7. This is used primarily for two things: 1. OTA firmware updates to devices and 2. remove ghost nodes.

When I first paired the PC Controller with my Hubitat-C7 it 'learned' all the existing devices that were included in the Primary hub. That all worked fine. Since then, I have added several more devices using Hubitats Discover Devices and State Z-wave Inclusion. This also worked fine.

BUT...the PC Controller does not see any devices added to the primary after the secondary was paired. What is the trick to getting the PC Controller to update/refresh its copy of the zwave radio DB that is on the primary?

What I have is to do is exclude the secondary controller, then include it again.

Do you keep it paired all the time?

I always exclude it after every use and that method works fine.

the trick is to click the button named Update. It contacts the Primary and gets a new copy of the DB.. watch the status messages, you'll see that it added new.

I already tried that. And got the same status message. But nothing new was added to the list here

You can see in Hubitat I have two addtional nodes 58 and 61 that are not added to PC Controller
