I have tried a power cycle now (unplugged the ST hub for ten minutes). Unfortunately nothing has changed. Still very bad delays on Z-Wave commands.
I can complete Z-Wave repairs consistently without any errors other than 4 to 5 ‘failed to update mesh info’ each time (different devices each repair). I don’t think those errors are serious. But I can’t get a completely clean repair. Perhaps that is due whatever is causing the severe lag. As noted above, my repairs take about 30-35 minutes for about 90 devices. Others report much faster repair times.
Cheeky tag to @Brad_ST to see if he maybe can take a look. Like I said, I have reported to Support but no response so far.
@Nezmo
Are you able to run zwave repair 5 times in a row?
I am of the opinion that without a clean zwave repair you will not get optimal zwave performance.
In my system I have to run zwave repair 5 times in a row to get a clean repair.
I am also of the opinion that turning off device health does not “fix” anything.
Device health is just a status, and when it shows something is offline, it is because some network packets have been dropped, even if the device is in general working okay.
I can say that I have tried everything here with no success, reboots, no net changes, device health on/off etc.
ALL my Z-wave devices have disappeared multiple times and reappeared hours later. I have also had 2 two week massive slow downs and then magically perfect again; I am in a perfect streak the last 2 weeks.
My gut feeling is that someone close by has inundated me with 908 Mhz from a Christmas present.
I do have access to an Anritsu spectrum analyser so if it happens again I might try to get one of the radio guys to sweep my house if that’s possible.
I am even paranoid of my own X-mas. My wife got a new clock radio with weather. It has one external sensor for outdoor temp. That seems to work ok but every now and again it receives from a new sensor which we don’t have (it is capable of 3 remotes) and gets intelligible temp data from some foreign location.
I replaced my three ZW096 Aeon Smart Switch 6’s with different devices. Two of them were replaced with Zooz ZEN15s (had some in my setup already and liked them) and the other was replaced with a Peanut Zigbee switch. The Aeons have been completely removed from my system.
I have attempted several Z-Wave repairs since the swap outs. In each case I am not receiving any more ‘failed to update mesh info’ messages. I am getting a single device (different each time) ‘rejoined’ message in each repair attempt. However, I am not getting a message that the Z-Wave repair is finished - unless it really hasn’t and is now taking an eternity (average before now was ~32 mins).
All that said things seem to be snappier now. Time will tell.
I’ve been aces for 2 weeks now but I fear Z-wave Christine will be back.
I certainly hope there wasn’t a drone above me for 2 weeks
Maybe the new beta software with this rare Z-Wave polling bug fix might be involved?
All my devices do go offline and come back at random times.
It’s probably your neighbor rebooting his router every two weeks and it chooses a new channel that interferes with your router lol.
In all seriousness, very thorough work here. I have experienced random disappearing devices in the past although not recently. My leviton zwave plus dimmers have had every problem in the book. One day ST will offer ota firmware for zwave. .
I’m with you, 5 zwave repairs in a row? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Check the live logging in the IDE during zwave slowdowns. The time stamps alone can be very helpful. Particularly, from device logs. At least you can ID if the cloud didn’t make the on/off request for 3 minutes or if the device didn’t respond for 3 minutes. Or perhaps the device did respond and didn’t execute the command for 3 minutes. Three very different problems.
