how do i fix this I have tried a repair a few times
is there any way to static route this stuff?
If the device is working, donât worry about it.
Z-wave routing isnât fixed. From what Iâve read here, multiple messages between two endpoints wonât necessarily follow the same route.
What youâre seeing in the IDE is not the route to the hub but a route.
it âkinda worksâ battery life on this lock is an issue the debolt lock on the same door this lock is on is a better path.
what is od is i have bunch of in-wall plugs around and now i found out it is not hardly using them
is there a way to see the true path?
also this device is not updating it battery its stuck on 40% despite me just replacing the batteries
Thereâs no such thing. Each device has a table of all its neighbors and can send to any of them.
That being said, I think locks are somehow different. I donât have any smart locks and donât know anything about them. Have you tried searching the community site for your specific make and model?
yeah they are kwi 912 latches (3), schl dead bolts (6)
ugh i wish they had little solar panel to charge the batteries LOL but if they connect well the batteries really last a while
im a network engineer so iâm used to having to âdirectâ things routing or at least have the preferred path lol
heck that path above the one hope is âofflineâ (motion) and its battery why is it trying to repeat anything?
I am also a network engineer, and self-healing routes are cool, no human intervention required to find the best route and they can take into account a lot of real time information And keep everything balanced with high QOS. Thereâs a ton of stuff at IEEE about them if youâre interested. The frustrating thing is that SmartThings gives us almost no tools to watch whatâs going on. If youâre interested, thereâs a Third party field tech tool kit you can buy, but it costs about 150 bucks so probably not worth it. Hereâs the thread about it.

That said, if that motion sensor is only battery powered, something is definitely wrong, it should not be in the route at all. Whatâs the brand and model of the motion sensor?
As far as why zwave locks are different, see the community FAQ:
FAQ: why would I need another beaming repeater if my zwave lock is already close to my hub?
One last thought⊠Iâm pretty sure what youâre seeing is not a loop but a recovery. Itâs going to the motion sensor, the motion sensor is failing to repeat the message, so itâs going back to the Living room light which is then trying an alternate route through the kitchen light. So that part is actually OK, Iâm just trying to figure out why the motion sensor is there at all. Again, we need to know the brand and model of the motion sensor, but also what DTH you are using for it. Iâm wondering if maybe somehow youâve got the wrong DTH on it.
Zooz/Monoprice 4-in-1 Multisensor (not plugged in battery only (battery hog too)
yup that is why i start looking at paths some of these are really bad and repair did not change it do i need to reboot hte hub? shut main power off to the house?
Whatâs the DTH assigned to it in the IDE?
i have (one) of the DH loaded in the IDE do i need to tell it what device? where do i check whats it using?
ahh i found it i had to remember where it was the DH is given to the device in the IDE
Thatâs not the DTH. The DTH is in the âtypeâ field on the âMy Devicesâ page.
a couple of months back i had something routing thru a battery powered smoke alarm. JDR may remember me asking about this. there was some other radio trouble with pairing. i even had an inside ST tech looking at logs. in the end i deleted all devices and did a hard reset of the hub. then everything was working like its supposed to.
it really sounds like its time to do a good ole hard reset.
