Z-Wave receptacles dropping offline

[daven]

Over the past year I have been having my 4 GE Z-wave receptacles dropping off line at quite an usual rate.
They have been installed for over 3 years and have had only one pesky one drop the odd time.
This is a pain as the switches have a nice power disconnect on the face plate but the sockets have to be removed from the wall and re-powered from the wire side to get back online.

Is the old Z-Wave not robust enough to muddle through? I have had no real issues with other Z-Wave products such as switches and I have 15+.
Maybe I’m destined to upgrade to Z-Wave+?

The light would never change so I dont think it received the c…
