Aeotec MS6 configuration parameter optimisation

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi,

I have a 14 of these multi sensors around my house and I am trying to configure them as best as I can.

All of my devices are USB powered and were included under usb power. All are running 1.7 fw

I am also trying to rule out these devices as a potential root cause for what looks like busy zwave traffic / slow responses.

 

I looked at the parameters and there would seem to be options that can be tweaked. For example i can switch off reporting for UV as all my devices are internal.

 

I was wondering has any user changed specific parameters, why they changed them and what was the impact/benefit.

 

Thanks

Gosh...I wish there is an ability to consolidate a sticky post somewhere which links up all those threads about devices which cause z-wave network going gaga. Yours is not the first but a useful one for many other people stepping into home automation.

 

I avoided most unreliable makes for awhile now. Even popular makes like Aeotec, not all their devices are properly designed and behaves correctly in accordance to z-wave specifications too. There are others I had to return and stop purchasing their products too (under UAT or Return list in my signature).

I agree 

The other use is there are product gaps in some of the major players. For example the fibaro smart plug isn't made with a UK type plug. The swiid inline cord switch is a nice solution for a bed side lamp but no other manufacturer makes anything like it.

Lots of gaps, no NZ/AU fibaro plug option, no fibaro over 2.5kw option...

Nope. Singapore is using UK plugs, given its early days before and after independence, no surprise most of the standards here follow the British's.
