Hello,  
I am experiencing a weird issue where everything looks ok with my Zwave device in the developer page but when i try to turn on the switch i get a timeout.

Any pointers?

This 30 second timeout has nothing to do with z-wave in general, it is more an Homey app \<-\> Homey issue, try taking off the power for at least 10 minutes

I shut down the homey for a while and then tried again after booting. I get the same issue with that switch. But only that one

Today I tried to remove device and add it again. When adding as secure I got the same issue as before but when adding without secure it worked.
