Try to kill your ST mobile app and restart it and see if the status updates. Are you using any custom DTH’s?
There are only 2 DTH’s that comply with the latest ST standard currently for remote programming, the stock Z-Wave Lock DTH and the Enhanced Z-Wave Lock DTH which fixes a few bugs in the stock DTH and adds some features. If you’re using any other DTH I would recommend uninstalling it and switching to the stock or enhanced dth.
This is a very good and recommended practice not for the repeater per se but for for the FLiRS device to buffer the messages. I don’t think you need to exclude and re-pair your device at this time based on what you’ve mentioned so far.
Feel free to PM me your IDE logs and I can check it out.
