What is the difference between devices listed on the Z-Wave Details page and Devices page?

  1. I had a ghost device called "generic zwave lock", so I got rid of it (with the built in remove command). (last week).
  2. I checked and the device was removed from my list of devices. (I cleared the cache, and reloaded my list of devices, many times since I got rid of that device.)
  3. However, it still shows up under Settings-> Zwave Details.
    Why is there a difference between the list of devices and the zwave details?

List of devices screen shot:

List of zwave devices (from Settings -> Zwave Details):


(In alphabetic order, to show that it isn't there.)

Hub details:


(running the standard zwave, not upgraded)

Based on your picture it still shows under Devices, not Z-Wave Details, right?

  • Devices tab contains drivers stored on the hub
  • Z-Wave Details contains device info stored on the radio

Removing one entry may not always remove the corresponding record from the other. You will need to remove the record manually.

First of all, thank you for the reply.
I have gone into the list of devices, and hit the "remove" button, which has now made the two lists consistent.

May I suggest that there should be a consistent list that is presented to users?
That is, if a zwave device is removed (via the builtin remove button), then it should automatically be removed from the list of devices?
May I recommend this small enhancement?
(I'm not sure, but I believe that was the approach in the past, and I think it has changed.)

It has not changed. We make every effort to do that, but rarely the process may misfire.
