ZWave: system migrated: on/off sensors now very slow

@Andrew_Rowe @frankb @OMR thank you all for your suggestions about using the ZenSys tool; some initial feedback as follows…

  1. I used the Aeotec version of the ZenSys tool (just to avoid the mentioned hassle with Silicon Labs logins). The Aeotec web page is here, and their direct download here. (note: you need to ignore Windows nag about the installer being unsigned). And just for completeness the Aeotec Z-Stick cloning tool is here.

  2. The ZenSys tool process described here enabled me to successfully remove one ‘ghost node’.

  3. The ZenSys trace logging also identified one device that was flooding the network with power meter reports at ca. 100 milli-second intervals. And in OpenHAB Thing configuration I could change a device parameter to stop that.

I guess that items 2. & 3. above will probably have fixed my problem; but I will let it run for a day and report back with the final answer.

PS I have another question concerning Security Keys: The Aeotec clone tool shows that my Z-Stick has a certain key, and OpenHAB Thing configuration shows a different key. Should these values be the same? Or does it matter if they are different? Indeed are these ‘keys’ referring to completely different things?
