Hi, is it possible to rebuild the z-wave network. i recently bought a new device, and i’d like to have that one between my Homey and my motion sensor. But as is sits now, all devices are directly connected to my Homey. It’s like : 1-2 and 1-3 I’d like it to be: 1-2-3 ---

Does it work ?? ZWave makes it’s own mesh, and not lets you decide how the mesh goes… If it works, then its ok 😉 ---

And you’re ‘new’ device is a battery powered item, like the other sensor?? ---

Z-wave Devices are constantly looking for the best route. Your devices should fix this problem in time if a route is possible. Sometimes it takes hours before it starts to work though. ---

I had it placed like that the whole night, nothing changed. It still doesn’t reach my Homey and in the settings it’s directly connected to the Homey instead of the wall switch ---

Remove the batteries of the motion sensor for a substantial time. Suggest more then a hour… Place them back into the sensor and wait. The sensor should start updating its neighborhood tables again… and should see the relay as best option. ---

Had the battery out for two hours now, it still connected directly to the Homey ---

Is the motion sensor fibaro? Lot’s of people including myself have problems with those in combination with Homey. ---

Yes it is. Ok, what kind of problems would that be? Besides this, from what i can tell, the sensor seems to be working fine ---

Motion Sensor: Tamper and Movement remain on continuously (even after de-energization) Smoke Sensor: Flows do not work I am already on the Beta software. I read that these are problems from the past, but I am the only one or there are more who recognize this?
