Having An Issue With networkSecurityLevel: ZWAVE_S0_FAILED

So the problem was a failed pairing, and it was fixed by re-pairing … great. But … what concerns me about this whole story is … why did it work ‘partially’ - from what I’m reading, you were getting ‘some’ data from the device, just not battery. So is this a ‘normal behavior’ of the smartthings system (or of any z-wave network?) … that you can have things fail but still work? I would prefer that … if the pairing doesn’t work properly, that you would get an appropriate failure message and you’d have to try again, rather than having a ‘half-assed’ success! So is this a design feature of the system - it will ‘try to work’ with something even if it doesn’t succeed fully? I guess it’s nice to see that it ‘tries’ but again, I’d prefer a hard failure that tells you to go figure out the problem!
