This is so annoying. I have now littered Iris ZWave plugs around, and now EVERYTHING works except one switch (which is in line-of-sight of a seemingly functioning Iris outlet, is only 8' away from it, and the switch is currently hanging out of the junction box ... TBD what's up with that guy).
However, during a rebuild, I get the 4x "Repair setting SUC route" on many devices, but they seem to be working perfectly fine (the switches respond instantaneously). Should I care that the ZWave rebuild seems to be failing on many devices?
I'm debating getting more of these seemingly problematic Zooz switches to strengthen my mesh (I "need" at least one more switch, maybe 2).
I was told seeing those 4x is "bad". It seems a "proper" rebuild goes start, ping, set SUC, update neighbors, request associations, delete routes, add return route, add node neighbor into, then repair done.
Many devices go start, ping, set SUC route 4x ... nothing else (no repair done, which tells me it didn't work). Only three devices of my 7 report the "proper" way, but the other 4 do the 4x SUC thing.
Running a ZWave Repair on one of my meshes, I'm seeing 4x Set SUC when Zniffer is showing there are no ACKs to the command... indicating not received by the target device. Probably battery devices that aren't awake.
No, they're mains powered devices, a ZWave rebuild ignores battery devices.
So, it seems the signal between the devices is enough to allow commands to get around, but not to establish a back and forth communication (in some cases). Basically now just debating on whether I want to give Zooz another chance, in hopes that the 700 series chip comes along with something that solves my problems, or just get another brand.
Anyone else noticing Zooz switches not being selected as a repeater?
I have 3 Zooz switches (2 dimmers and 1 On/Off switch) and none of the 3 show up as being a repeater for the other devices. They're included in my list of devices and zwave repairs do include them in the repairs but never selected as a repeater?
Is it just a coincidence of my device layout or is anyone else seeing this also?
I noticed the same thing when my mesh was smaller. But as I added more devices the Zooz nodes eventually appeared as repeaters and at seemingly logical points in the mesh.
Though most nodes on my mesh are either direct or favor a route through the nearest Aeotec extender.
I have 42 total zwave devices and only 13 are battery powered non-repeaters. If yours eventually appeared it must just be a coincidence of my device layout and will monitor if it changes.
Of the 29 repeating devices 21 of them are also direct.
How do you get to that display? I suspect none of my Zooz switches are repeating either. I have had a really bad experience with my Zooz switches. Originally thought they were great
On a side note I still don't see any of my 3 zooz switches being used as a repeater, guess it's time to finally switch out those last 3 hold outs for Lutron's as the only reason I haven't until now was I "assumed" they were helping my mesh by being a repeater.
