I have run into some issues with my z-wave network and from all the posts I have read a network reset is my best bet to address. I have read so many pages today I just wanted to quickly check that the only way to reset the z-wave network is to systematically go through and remove each device using the the developer tool. I am sorry to ask, I have read so much to try and address the poor response and phantom nodes. I am commencing now with a small hope someone may have a better answer but resigned to delete each manually… Thank you for reading this! ---

THANK YOU! I assumed the developer tools was the only place. This will save so much time. If a man could bear another mans children I would strongly consider bearing yours right now. If you ever make it down under look me up and free flowing beer shall be yours! Thank you again! ---

Before you reset your z-wave network, have you tried to turn of the power on the entire house? I had a lot of issues with my z-wave devices about 2 month ago so I turned of the power to the whole house for about 15min. After that I got a much faster working z-wave network. It was like day and night for me. Try that first 🙂 ---

And how about battery powered devices? ---

thanks for the suggestion, I had already jumped in, forces me to rename everything to something more logical. Appreciate the advice I will add it to the toolkit ---

Well, they connect to the mesh when used. So they don’t route other devices. ---

But they can spam the network and cause problems aye? ---

Sure they can, but if they did, they would drain the battery quite fast, resulting in battery replacement, resulting in restarting the device 🙂. Powered devices are normally never restarted. Common fix for solving issues with homey i ptp and that a lot of issues but if some device has issues it doesn’t help much. As I mentioned before, my devices got a lot more responsive and flows with a lot of devices turning of at the same time finished a lot faster than before ptp of the house 😁. ---

thank you for sharing! How often would you do a a power down to keep your network operating at an optimum level? ---

I’ve only done it once by my own choice. I don’t say it will fix it for everyone but for me, it worked like a charm. Next time I get issues I can’t solve with ptp of homey, it will be the next on my list to try.
