FAQ: How to improve the performance (responsiveness, speed) and reliability of a Z-Wave mesh

[image] This is a very common issue that folks will face when using Z-Wave devices. Over time you’ll see that your device connectivity gets slower, commands take longer to execute (higher latency), sometimes they don’t execute (loss of packets). This happens due to a variety of reasons and this Wiki will provide you with some tools to fix these issues. While this isn’t a magic bullet to fix all Z-Wave problems, it should resolve the majority of common issues with a Z-Wave Mesh. I’m not going to get into how a Z-Wave Mesh operates or Z-Wave vs ZigBee, but I will focus on 4 key issues that can severely impair the performance and reliability a Z-Wave mesh. Ghost devices: Ghost devices are devices that are no longer connected to the mesh but they still show up in the routing tables of t…
