I got frustrated with my Hubitat hub. The interface always lacked polish, but what sent me over the edge was when it stopped being accessible locally and I had to sign up for a cloud subscription. So I bought a Homey Pro. The migration of Zwave devices has been a nightmare. I have about ½ of them mo…

I can’t help you directly with your specific issue, but I wanted to share my experience, as I’ve reached a similar point.
