One thing I did do with the latest hub was plug it into a USB power bank. I never let it get direct power from the adapter. That may be why my issue is better now, not sure.
I also got rid of a few ghost devices on the hub that the issue started on, and though it didn't help on that hub, I am now wondering if not having the ghosts present during the last migration helped things.
I can almost live with ZWave going down every couple weeks, it is certainly better than when it was going down every day or so. Still, I would like to get it resolved.
I got the Zooz 800 stick. I only have one running windows machine - Windows 10 Pro.
Plugging the USB stick in was a complete failure. Didn’t recognize it and it started me down a rabbit hole of inf files. It all reminds me why I switched to Mac years ago.
So I gave up on that and plan to use one of my touchscreen controllers which are running windows 11 on NUCs. I am hoping this will actually recognize the usb stick the first time.
I get that this is not a Hubitat issue but I am extremely disappointed in z-wave. It has never been that reliable but these recent issues where the network just shuts down without warning are vexing. And the resolution process is insanity - downloading developer tools and running basically low level stuff is out of control. I hope I can use the guides to make this work. And I appreciate the time people took to document this. But there has to be a better way? For me it is partially to move to Lutron for lights.
The guide has detailed instructions. You should install the Simplicity Studio first IMO.
It is not just plug and play, the software is made for engineers and hardware developers so it is a bit rough, and this is an old community cooked up solution.
I have it working on multiple Win 10 machines just fine.
Runs fine in windows 10. You need to install simplicity studio first with the z-wave module, then it will be recognized. Please follow the guide. You can also run a demo copy of windows 10/11 under parallels and just expose one of your usb ports to the VM
The is the way!
