Hello,

I added a Danalock V3 to my Z-Wave network. But I can’t understand why this device won’t connect to its neighbours!?!?

It should be ‘208’ - ‘211’, right???

- Homey cannot enforce routes, that’s something the devices handle themselves.
- Routes might change overtime. Even though the lock doesn’t use the Bridge _now_ for routing, in the future it might.
- I don’t know the specific of Z-Wave, and if battery-powered devices can route through multiple other routers, but if so, the lock might _also_ be connected through the Bridge and the network overview is just too limited to show _all_ possible routes a device has.
- Devices can actually be placed _too_ close together.
