My smart home just turned into a creepy home

[gruberb 0]

After update to 4.110 and FW update of all dimmers, I saw that some of the lights are not switched on/off as usual. Most of my lights are switched by binary switches. Although the updates (some of which took ~30 minutes) were all successfull and finished, I thought it has to do with Z-wave traffic or such and I did not bother. Also re-started HC2 just to be sure and went to bed. The next day we were woken up by the door bell (my wive call it the addams family bell and I have to admit she is not so wrong). I jumped out, and -- nothing.

When someone rings my bell, I get a camera image - also this showed no one at the door. so i checked the event log, and see that the device (a window sensor) has not been triggered, but the scene has been executed at the time of the event.

A similar behaviour I see with the scene that should be triggered when the garden door opens - but due to the lack of changes of the status of my binary swith, I left the scene whit an unspdefined trigger. However it got triggered as the notification shows:

This is strange - how can this be? I started to investigate this, rebooted several times, and figured out that also some other scenes dont work properly. after some time i had to soft-reconfigure some switches, as they did not switch on my Light/plugs anymore. This however generated even more problems. Now I've a binary sensor that works in a VD using sceneactivation, but the binary sensor's Inputs dont change their icon or status. The device is reachable and i can change settings, but no change of icon and text on the symbol (last time breached etc.). 4 days later I have the same issues (today i woke up by the automatically triggered doorbell). So I installed a backup from the upgrade to 4.110 - same problem. complete mesh-network reconfiguration does not help. Also strange is the amount of devices has mysteriously decreased.

As i fly to US next week, and leave my (ever more sceptical wife) alone with the house, i deactivated many scenes that have gone wild. I do struggle with the doorbell still, as Im expecting parcels.

 

I remember seeing some z-Wave network issues every now and then in old posts, however - I did not change any device before and after updating to 4.110+FW updates of Dimmer2, so I dont think I have a Z-wave traffic lag since almost 1 week.

I'm out of ideas what to do next and somehow feel I have to re-start. If this is really necessary I have to be at home for some days, so no option I do bevore a biz trip.

 

Are there any ideas around that I could try? maybe i overlooked something.

 

thanks for any help!

 

best regards, gruberb

Update: It happens that the scene with the Binary switches using scene activation can not be saved. only this scene, others I can edit and save.

This might tell me there is an issue with the UBS, that would also explain the status icons not working. Exclude, include may work - but this is the farest away and weirdest wired device I have.

 

I also do have a request, not sure it is possible:

Add the possibility in HC2 to generate an automatical report that simply documents all there is, in a way one can do screenshots and put them into a doc.

I'm sure there is a way to generate a 200 pages pdf report just out of the devices, scenes, ...
