Updated to 2.2.9.129, now most z-wave are no longer S2 Autenticated

Just looking through my Zwave devices I have some using the
S2:1, S2:2…
and others using the
S2:128, S2:129…

129 is S0 and S2 Unauthenticated

So, I was looking up another issue (related) and came across this thread. I was still having this issue and thinking I was the only one as support told me no one else had mentioned this when I e-mailed them in February. Long story short, what I did to get them reporting correctly was to to a repair of each individual item that was showing incorrectly. Other things I tried: Refresh, reboot, Shutdown and disconnect power, Turn Z Wave radio off then back on...... None of those worked.

I stumbled on the trick when dealing with trying to update one that reported "none" when it was actually "S2" and the update acted weird.

Now that they are identified, I am using the Swap Apps Device feature to remove these items and re-pair them with no security. Hopefully, that prevents the issue from recurring.

For the record, that Swap Apps Device utility works great, EXCEPT for confusing the child LED devices on the Innovelli reds. For those, I had to delete all the child devices and then toggle the "create child LED" off then on to get them back.
