I am happy to report that I fixed the problems - all of them - with help from the IT Crowd. Although I had rebooted my hub and had changed batteries, etc. I had not physically unplugged the Smartthings hub. I tried turning it off and on again and it worked. I physically unplugged the unit, waited a bit, plugged it back in and waited. All devices came back online and functioned properly - which they didn’t do from a reboot or a repair Z-Wave network.
Thank you for your help and for your excellent software. Sorry for not trying the physical shut-down first. I thought a reboot would do it.
Are you possibly going to make something for the Fibaro RGBW controller?

You should report it to ST support about the issues with the latest firmware so they can investigate. Tagging @Zach_Varberg FYI
Someone will take a look, although with the hub being rebooted there is less we can do debugging wise. If the issue happens again it would be really helpful for the person to submit their logs before they reboot the hub. You can do that in graph by going to your hub, then view utilities and then “send logs”. Then if you ping me or another hub guy on the forums with your account in a PM we can grab them and get a better look at when the issue occurred. After the logs are submitted, rebooting is fine as we at least have the record of when the issue happened.
Hey @RBoy - is there anyway that you can keep a constant naming convention for your apps? For example, the title of this thread is:
“[RELEASE] Universal Enhanced Z-Wave Lock, Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, IDLock, DanaLock, August Pro, Samsung, Locstar Locks and Popp Z-Wave Keypad Device Handler with Alarm Control, Notification, RFID, Door Sensor and advanced features”
but on your app page its called:
“Universal Enhanced Z-Wave Lock with Alarm, Notification, RFID, Door Sensor and Advanced Features”
and then your ST notifications tells me that a new version of “Front Door - Lock” is available.
This is very confusing when a lot of your apps do the same thing so these descriptions aren’t helpful. I literally need to open all my apps and device handlers to look at the code to know when one to update.
Unless I am missing something, this would be helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, will rationalize the website name.
The ST notification is the name of the actual “device” which needs to be updated. Initially we had it as the name of the DTH but it caused some confusion since of there are multiple devices and app installed. So now the notifications specify the name of the device of the app instance that needs to be updated.
@RBoy - I just started using SmartThings and bought access to your apps last night. I have some questions on this device handler for Schlage … i notice the following after using it and whether these behaviors below normal?
i use it on two Schlage locks: BE469 and FE599.
The following anomalies are on BE469
after changing device type to use this device handler, i notice Schlage config got reset to default (ie. alarm on the lock set to tamper, it caused lock alarm to turn on even with the slightest touch to the handle etc)
changes in the device page in ST to sound level (speaker icon), lock and key, it takes up to a minute to refresh
sometimes ST app (android) will show the lock as “unavailable” so I have to click refresh to get its status again. I wonder how this will impact SHM status
in Dashboard view - Smart Lock app from ST will show BE469 unlock (1 locked, 1 unlocked). When I click Smart Lock, the subsequent window will show all doors are locked (all locks are locked). go back to dashboard, Smart Lock will still show 1 locked, 1 unlocked.
if I not supposed to use Smart Lock, what other apps that will show locks status in Dashboard?
If i switch back to default Zwave Lock device type, SMartLock will show proper status. Also issue #3 (unavailable) above will not happened.
Can i go back to zwave lock device type but still have full function with your smartapp “Door Lock Code User Management with Unlock Notifications, Advanced Scheduling and Automatic Lock/Unlock”?
thanks

See the instructions on the release notes for SmartLocks and make sure your lock is no further than 20ft from the nearest repeater for optimal performance:
Hi posted this in another topic the other day but got no replies
Installed the Conexis lock last Sunday already on my 3rd batch of batteries firmware is 1.1.0 using zwave 2 module. Only used the batteries that came with it and some cheap ones I had lying around.
I use Duracell ultra powers in my yale keyless which I got in the maplin closing down sale for £50 which included the original zwave module which I added to ST 2018-05-14 and thats still at 90%
Have ordered more Duracell’s and might try rechargeable’s if they don’t work.
I’m using Rboys DHs and Apps.
The shed been added to webcore, ActionTiles, influxDB logger, simple device viewer & Rboys Lock manager.
The conexis has only been added to webcore and Rboys Lock Notification app.
Is It worth just buying the original module? Will contact yale support monday hope I can get the module 2 replaced
My thought over the last few days is that I have loads of mains powered zwave devices but not all are z-wave plus especially the ones close to the newly installed lock
