None of these devices are actually installed yet. They are all in my office within several feet of the controller.
I understand that they will turn grey and not report in while sleeping, but then the device will loose its name and I can’t name it. Like in the case of Node 4, that’s a door contact and was named Front Door Contact. It is still working properly but when I try and set the name I get [ERROR] [.z.i.config.ZWaveConfiguration] - NODE 4: Error in doSet - no database found
Battery devices need often time to be initialized - depending on their wake up intervals. You can shorten the procedure by manually waking them up - e.g. several triple clicks on the tamper button of a Fibaro door sensor.
Yes I understand that, but what had happened was they were there, all of the info appeared, and then it disappeared and was gone for a couple of days. And then it reappeared on its own…
That’s why I wonder if there’s a better controller to use?
Today I added two more door contacts and will physically install them all this afternoon.
