Z-Wave unresponsive and unreliable

Questions & Help

Hi community! :wave:

I really need your help. :sos:

Background
I’ve a Homey Pro 2023 (with a LAN-adapter) and almost exclusively Fibaro Z-Wave devices.

It has been working very well for a long time. Stable and very reliable. All flows running just fine. Never misses to turn on/off lights, very responsive.

But since some time back, I started having problems. Suddenly some my lights doesn’t turn on/off when my flows run. I’ve a couple of flows which changes all the lights in a room. These flows have always been “snappy”, but now takes quite a while and results in timeouts.

So what have I tried so far?

  • I’ve restarted my Homey
  • I’ve turned off my Homey for more than 10 minutes
  • I’ve run “Heal” countless of times on countless of nodes, I would say ALL nodes by now

What could be the reason to my problem?

  • Is it possible that an existing Z-Wave device suddenly became faulty? (I’ve no newly added devices)
  • Is it possible that Homey has introduced a bug related to Z-Wave? E.g. in the firmware or Fibaro app.

Suspicious behavior
Using the Log-feature of Developer Tools, I’ve noticed suspicious behavior.

If I create a flow which dims a light (and only one light) (in this case node 145) to 50%, then turns it off, I get the following commands to the node:

Looks just fine!

But, if I create a flow which also includes other lights (six other to be exact, all in the same room), I get this following commands to the node:

Crazy! As you can see the command to dim the light to 50% for node 145 is sent many, many times as well as the command to turn node 145 off. No wonder it’s sluggish and working very unwell.

I’ve recreated the flow several times, the result is the same. Adding more nodes to a flow, creates multiple commands for each node.

Worth mentioning is that this happens with multiple flows in different rooms. So not only the room where node 145 is located.

What the heck is happening here? What could be causing this behavior.

Help is very appreciated! :pray:

… cut the power from the Z-WAVE devices, it might also helps.

More would say screenshot of your ZWAVE devices mesh from Homey Developer Tools - best also to see number of RX/TX packets and all the devices in network including routes

Did your devices start misbehave right after some update like that ? If not, it’s probably not caused by firmware itself.

Share the flow then.

Also last but not least - Sensor Multilevel Reports - The numerous [COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_MULTILEVEL] entries suggest that devices are reporting power usage frequently, which can clutter the network. Try adjusting the reporting intervals for power consumption in the device settings to reduce the frequency of reports.

Thank you for helping me out @Sharkys! :slightly_smiling_face:

… cut the power from the Z-WAVE devices, it might also helps.

Will try that! Quite easy to do, but many of the devices fail (as you can see in the screenshot below). So, I would more or less have to cut the power to the whole house. :slightly_smiling_face:

As you can see, there are a lot of “TX Errors” - something I haven’t seen before, or at least very seldom. Something have definitely changed!

Did your devices start misbehave right after some update like that ? If not, it’s probably not caused by firmware itself.

My feeling is that the problems started after an update. Either of the Homey or of the Fibaro app. But I can’t be sure. I’m 100% sure that I haven’t changed anything in my physical setup (like new devices). So either this has to do with a software change or a device that has suddenly gone bad. Please note that all devices still works, but there are suddenly errors and everything is sluggish and sometimes commands fails even with multiple retries. This happens to many of my nodes (as you can see in the screenshot).

Share the flow then.

Nothing advanced at all, just dimming a few lamps. I’ve been running this flow for a long time without problems (e.g. the flow hasn’t changed).

Also last but not least - Sensor Multilevel Reports - The numerous [COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_MULTILEVEL] entries suggest that devices are reporting power usage frequently, which can clutter the network. Try adjusting the reporting intervals for power consumption in the device settings to reduce the frequency of reports.

This was actually my first though. So what I tried was to double check the “report values” - all were default. Then I also disabled reporting for the devices included in the flow above. This didn’t help at all. still just as sluggish.

And, even if you explude the power reporting from the log, there are multiple log posts for the dim/off-commands for the same device - why?

At least for me, this behavior is strange. My thoughts about this is that either the flow-engine in the Homey is “translating” the flow to commands incorrectly - causing multiple commands or this is due to a faulty Z-Wave network. If you check the timestamps there’s not many milliseconds between each command. Very strange.

Again - thanks for helping me out! :pray:
