mhhh I modified the DB for
http://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/249
now after I removed the device and wanted to readd it to get the new “central scence” class I stays “unknown” and despite sending many nifs its not advancing…
Let’s make that assumption 
.
No, seriously, I’m not sure - the issue is that the device isn’t responding (ie the NO ACK). I don’t know why this would change with the database update - in fact, I would think it’s most likely unrelated to the database change…
(sorry - not sure how to help with this one).
mhhh it worked before (just with scene activation instead of central scene)…so if its not related to the db change I made I try to investigate a little more… very odd 
I know it’s easy to think that because the changed the software, and it worked before, and doesn’t now, that it’s ‘obviously’ related - but it might also be a coincidence, and I prefer to keep an open mind as I don’t see anything that’s should be related. Currently, from the log, it simply looks like the device isn’t responding to the PING, which is quite basic and I don’t really think should be related to the database change…
yup
I try to find out what else it could be…
currently I find another strange thing… I can only catch something on the log when I trigger the NIF…
any other button press seems not to get catched and is not in the log
this also is the case with the AEON IMA Windows Tool… that tools shows all traffic of the nodes… and for the remote it also shows only an explicit triggered NIF and no other … that was different before aswell
not sure if a node can somehow get “corrupt” on the stick … I might try to exclude and do inclusion again
Looks like it could be a device or stick issue so resetting it might be the right approach…
ok it gets more confusing…
reading the stick again in the ima tool… the node has vanished now from the available nodes list…
but if I trigger a NIF … it shows Node 9 sends one…
does the node iteself know it is node 9?
ok the node vanished without performing an exclusion
and now the device can not perform the reset ( as stated in manual) and not be included anymore.
pretty sure the device is defect. just no clue why it vanished from the stick on its own.
Yes. If you exclude a device, or at least delete it from the stick, then the node will continue to try and communicate with the stick using the same node number. I see that in my test system - if I hard reset the stick, the nodes will still send data and be received on the stick…
