Thanks @codahq.
Received my UZB today from Mouser (No tariff surcharge).
Fired right up.
Couple of notes:
I had to down load a SDK from Silicon Labs before they would let me download "Z-Wave Programmer" and "Z-Wave Zniffer"
Took two tries to flash the stick.
The program I needed to run was ZWaveZnifferUI.exe
My path:
"E:\Program Files (x86)\Sigma Designs\Z-Wave Zniffer 4 Secured\ZWaveZnifferUI.exe"
Just trying to make it even easier for the next person.
Thanks again!
I just purged all my z-wave devices. The only things left I have are MS6's, Zooz Media Power outlet, Nano Switches, Dual Nano & Dual Qubino and an EcoNet Valve.
Also have some suspect GE Door Hinge devices that are ZW+ but I don't really use them so am removing now - and running a repair.
I may disable a few as well to see what happens.. I am SO glad I got into zniffing!!!!!!
Okay so this is very cool - I identified a Nano switch for my Living Room Sconces as the possible culprit and disabled. Now the network speeds at least according to zniffing are MUCH better. So my guess is that this is a bad device. wow.
@codahq was right about this being addictive - arghhhhhh!!!
Does the "Home ID" distinguish different hubs? I actually have 2 hubs that use ZW, my main one and an upstairs hub. My laptop/uzb is definitely closer to the main hub right now.
From what you have seen this looks to be a very good tool to identify issues. It also doesn't look too complex, it would be nice if this could be built in.
