Mine has been rock solid since I performed this Z Wave repair procedure…

REAL LIFE::: RUN A ZWAVE REPAIR 3 TIMES TO CATCH ALL SLEEPING NODES

Most field techs will actually run the zwave repair three times in a row. This allows each hop of the network to be rebuilt.

So for maximum benefit:

1. unplug the hub for at least 15 minutes. Then plug it back in.
2. run the zwave repair utility. When you see the message in the logs that the repair is complete, wait another 15 minutes (don’t unplug the hub this time, though), then do a second zwave repair.
3. again when you see the log message that the repair is complete, wait 15 minutes with the hub still plugged in, then do a third zwave repair.

The wait and repeat also improves the odds of catching all nodes, including ones that were asleep during the first pass.

So easy, but a little tedious. You should expect to see improved response rates within a few hours if node address tables were contributing to the problem.
