@theworm, I think what you’re experiencing is a different issue pertaining to this device specifically.
There’s more details on this thread regarding this: GE/Jasco Z-Wave Plug In Outlets No Longer Logging On/Off Events
I too have this issue and will need to unplug and replug the switch when this happens. I’ve tried to unpair/repair the modules a few times without any improvements. I would wait for a patch or use a different device.
