HCL: Polling dead nodes

[Ulf100 4]

Under configuration/z-wave network there is an option 'Polling dead devices:'. If ticked what does it do exactly?

If the system detects a dead node why doesn't HCL try to wake it up three times before marking such a device 'dead'. Wouldn't that help a lot to stabilize the network and minimize the number of dead nodes?

Documentation would help explain a lot of these... ahhh damn! there isn't any!

You can use a script to do that.

That's how i do it but anyway dead nodes should not appear in your network.

There's always a reason for that and mostly the device is to far away from you HC2.

But it can be another reason.....not properly configured etc....

Sure but I am using HCL - so I can't use scripts.... Or is there a way to create a scene using the block elements?

Let me ask my question again: Under configuration/z-wave network there is an option 'Polling dead devices:'. If ticked what does it do exactly?

Can anybody help pls?

It tries to poll devices even when they are dead, which may wake them up. But it can also cause some additional traffic in Z-wave network due to rediscovering of mesh.
