[SOLVED] Insufficient time to complete transaction for RequestNodeNeighborUpdate for large z-wave networks

[Andrew_Rowe]

This is good advise me thinks

@robmac

I tend to use PC program when I need as it reads the topology from NVM and has many tools to resolve issues on the network. They are not perfect but they work. You can also back up the NVM on your USB so it is worth doing just for that.

Alex @Celaeno1 check out this post in another thread Rob explains about how to use this tool

[SOLVED] Z-Wave unreliable in 2.5.0.M4

Firstly that map does not necessarily reflect your network’s routing. It is a list of neighbours reported during a neighbour update. I ignore it as it looks nice but is not massively useful. Zwave routing is a bit more complex. If your network is bad you can try this… If you have a windows machine or run openHab on a windows machine. Download PC programme from silicon labs. Take the usb stick and put it in your windows machine with the machine in exactly the same place as you normally have y…

this also seems like some sound thinking to me

@robmac

I still have no idea why anyone would rebuild their network every day but that is their choice.

It is better in my opinion to do it to make it good enough then let the network settle down. If you rebuild too often you will lose all the good work done by explorer frames and other mechanisms that help your network find a stable reliable state.

My understanding is silicon are handing it all over to the zwave association this year and the code for all the bits that is currently closed will be available to some developers. I believe they may be treating openzwave as a special case so why not your work which is equally a special case?

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

Well, I don’t think that’s quite right. The focus of the ZWA will change, and Silabs will open source the protocols so that other manufacturers can get into the market. ZWA will sort out the certification/standards side of things.

I have been working with Silabs for a few years - I’ve no idea what OZW are doing, and its not really of interest as it’s not linked.

I am under an NDA with Silabs, so can’t really comment too much on what’s happening, and I doubt they will be releasing a lot of information until probably at least the middle of the year.

Thanks Chris,

While I don’t dislike Z/IP I don’t really need it so I can stop working on it and see what happens.

[ilektron (Stephen Farnsworth)]

I do believe that this has been fixed

Thanks @chris!

Bravo Stephen
your work has helped fix a problem which so many users have suffered from
thanks Chris and Stephen, great work fellas!

Can you please post the link to this JAR?

First, it is not designed for OH 2.4. I know GH was updated 7 hours ago, before the latest binding build. I am not sure whether it was fixed before the last export. The jar is here.

EDIT: The binding was updates 5 hours ago so you will need to wait for another binding export and snapshot build…

Note that this is just the standard 2.5.x SNAPSHOT.

The snapshot build was done when I did the update.

I’ve been running Chris’s zWave 2.5 bindings on 2.4 OH for quite some time now. Here’s the one I’ve been running since Oct 2019 w/o any major issues. I’ll let folks know if this new one above works on 2.4 when I get a chance to try it.

It works! I have 20 zWave devices which are all online and reporting after the upgrade.

With OH 2.4 running the latest zWave binding, you have to install the Zigbee binding tied to zWave binding in order to get zWave to work on OH 2.4. The Zigbee binding will throw a bunch of errors on a clean startup of OH 2.4 which you can ignore.
