There’s 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 don’t have any smart locks and don’t know anything about them. Have you tried searching the community site for your specific make and model?
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. There’s a ton of stuff at IEEE about them if you’re interested. The frustrating thing is that SmartThings gives us almost no tools to watch what’s going on. If you’re interested, there’s a Third party field tech tool kit you can buy, but it costs about 150 bucks so probably not worth it. Here’s 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. What’s the brand and model of the motion sensor?
One last thought… I’m pretty sure what you’re seeing is not a loop but a recovery. It’s going to the motion sensor, the motion sensor is failing to repeat the message, so it’s going back to the Living room light which is then trying an alternate route through the kitchen light. So that part is actually OK, I’m 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. I’m wondering if maybe somehow you’ve got the wrong DTH on it.
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?
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.
