Z-Wave Topology: No neighbors on C-8 Pro? and "Unknown Neighbors" on Z-wave Mesh Details?

Just curious about this and not a big deal because my new C-8 Pro (v2.4.0.144) seems to be running z-wave fine and devices are responding--but strangely still seeing no neighbors (well very few).

I read through this now closed discussion "Z-Wave Topology Inaccurate on C-8?" that says to wait a few days. So maybe not waiting long enough, but been up and running for over a week now and I am curious why I have nearly no neighbors reporting on the Topology?

And also @tony.fleisher's Z-wave Mesh Details is showing "Unknown Neighbors" on nearly everything?

I've powered down and unplugged a few times, and ran a full repair today, no change. Just that device ID 11 showing neighbors (from day one).

Nearly all my devices are indeed direct connections (including ID 11 which is reporting neighbors). Nearly all were also direct connected with previous hub and @lewis.heidrick's Antenna Mod, but then I could see neighbors?

I do have three devices currently hopping through repeaters (7C->21; 07->5D; 22->79) and none of these show neighbors on the map?

I know that if it ain't broke, etc. but just curious, any thoughts? Am I missing something here?

@jeff11 Have you tried the "Refresh Statistics" button (either from Z-Wave Details page or the button recently added in the top of the Mesh Details screen) and see if that updates the neighbors?

I hadn't tried that--hadn't known what that really did, like I guess that I thought it would reset something but didn't know what? and I guess I just imagined things would refresh on their own?

Well one simple 'push' and magically everything appeared! So that was simple enough :slight_smile: and I feel sheepish :blush:. Thanks!

It used to but the automatic refresh was causing a 1-2 second lag in the zwave radio every 30 minutes so it was changed to a manual refresh while the HE teams works on updates to the z-wave core gateway. We may have auto-refreshing back one day.

Ahh, makes sense. Looks like I WAS missing something. Thanks again!

Of course, by then, direct to hub comms will rule with Long Range and make this obsolete. :slight_smile:
