I am migrating my devices from ST to HE.
Almost finished, just last 3-4 zigbee devices left.
In the meantime, sometimes I lose connection with 2 of my zwave devices.
One is a door lock (Danalock) , the other is a Aeon Multisensor (motion/illuminance etc.)
I am really worried about the situation because door lock is really important for me. And I did not have any issue with it on ST hub.
I wonder if this issue might be coming from temporarily using 2 different zwave networks (ST and HE) at the same time.
ps. when I lose connection with my door lock, I shut off my ST hub and reboot HE. Door lock state restores.
I also can say that the door lock problem started when I migrated the multisensor to HE hub.
but this might be a false cause, because I migrated about 50 devices in a week
I’m going through the same process and have experienced simular issues. In my case a brand new zwave plus s2 device was falling offline/ becoming non responsive about once a day after it got migrated to HE. Troubleshooting the issue has given me a greater appreciation for how crappy older zwave non plus devices actually are. I dont know why it wasn’t causing issues when paired to ST but after i replaced a very old non-plus device the rest of my zwave mesh has been considerably more stable.
If you have any zwave non-plus devices youre bringing over from ST you might want to consider upgrading them or kicking them back over to ST until you can.
If it says plus in the logo its a plus device... no plus in the logo...
Also you can from Hubitat you can goto settings > zwave details and sort the clusters column... devices w/ 0x5E in the cluster is plus... no 0x5E it might be causing your issue.
My understanding: The 700 series chip certification process (the C7 was the first certified 700 series hub) introduced some additional requirements and constraints that the 500 series didn't have which affects the way the mesh is built and works. ST also used extensive polling of non-plus devices to overcome status reporting latency, but also may have had a slightly stronger antenna.
What you are describing sounds like a mesh problem, and generally can be overcome by adding a few Zwave Plus repeaters to the mix.
In my case i have 2 - 3 zwave repeating devices in every room, while every setup is different, in my situation not having enough repeaters is not an issue For others, it could be.
The Aeotec MultiSensor 6's (if that's what you have) will repeat if plugged in. Unfortunately they don't seem to repeat very well. There is an update to firmware you can add which may help but in general they should be on the periphery of your network if possible. I have 3 in use right now - one in the basement, one in the garage and one outside in an enclosure for lux testing only..

For others, it could be.
