It started when I turned on a light using a GE z-wave switch. Light came on momentarily & then shut off on its own. The small blue light on the switch is now constantly blinking. I pulled the air switch & reinserted it which didn’t do anything. I then opened the app & did a z-wave repair… The results were not very good. There were about 10 devices that failed to “update mesh info”. Prior to this all the devices seemed to be working just fine & now there are numerous devices that will not start up from the app. Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction to sort this issue out Thanks In Advance

Probably the mesh problem is caused by that switch because it’s repeating the signal for other devices. Pull the air gap for that switch and do a z-wave repair and hopefully that will redirect you repeater to other device.

Excluded & removed that switch but it will not connect

Pulled the air gap & did a z-wave repair & still have failed to update mesh info on the same numerous devices. When I reinsert the air gap the small blue led comes back on slowly blinking & the switch will not manually turn on the associated light. On a sub note … Has anybody seen or does anybody know what that blue LED means when it is blinking

[image] gouldie: When I reinsert the air gap the small blue led comes back on slowly blinking & the switch will not manually turn on the associated light. Something might be wrong with the switch if you can’t even manually turn it on, that part should always work as long as it has power. How far away is the hub from the switch? You might have to bring the hub closer using a very long Ethernet cable to re-pair it again. If the blue LED is blinking, I believe that is an indication that it’s looking for a hub to pair with and the first time you did it was not successful (even though the app might indicate so). Bringing it closer should help.

That switch was paired to the hub and working fine for a year or more. It just started blinking blue right out of the blue… “no pun intended” and the switch stopped working both from the app & manually. I will try and get a switch and see if that happens to be the problem with that device. BUT I have all these “failed to mesh” scenarios when I do a z-wave repair… Any idea what could be causing that to happen

[image] gouldie: I have all these “failed to mesh” scenarios when I do a z-wave repair… Any idea what could be causing that to happen Many battery devices need to be “awake” when you do a z-wave repair so that may have caused the “failed mesh” error. Take a look at this thread for some more insight: [image] FAQ: Zwave repair not working (how to fix error messages) FAQ I’m having challenges with several of my zwave devices working. When I attempt to do a network repair inside of the zwave utilities, I don’t get any action being performed on the hub. I’ve run the repair from both the android application and from the website. When I watch the log after selecting repair, no entries show up in the log. Suggestions?

There are some of these GE switches the just go bad. Replace the switch. I know one guy whose entire z-wave network was trashed for a long time from one bad (GE) switch.

Just install a new home with the same problem. Trying different switches will advise

Thanks guys for all the advice… I’m going to pick up a switch and see if that fixes the issues Hopefully I’ll get one tomorrow and let you all know what the outcome is

Big Problems (I think) (GE Switch went bad?)

Yeah, I had a defective Enerwave switch that brought down my whole Z-Wave mesh.
