Ghost devices, how to get rid of them?

Im struggling with alot of repeates in my z-wave network and when i run the "Z-Wave Range Test" i get alot of devices that has been removed but are still in routes tables of alot of nodes.

Shouldn´t this get fixed when you run a "Mesh Network Reconfiguration"?

The only way i have been able to remove some of these are to completely removed and re-include all devices that still has these ghost devices in their routes.

 

Surely this must be something Fibaro can add when doing Mesh Reconfigurations, meaning remove all nodes in route before adding new ones?

Some of these above has the same ghost device still in the route table on 6 - 8 nodes which means that i need to remove and re-include all of these to get rid of one..

Yes, Mesh Network Reconfiguration should fix the routes.

By the way, it doesn't mean that the mesh route corrupted. Each device finds new route on the fly, but this "new" route is not reflected in the controller's routing table.

 

I mean the system should work just fine although the controller's mesh table shows incorrect routes.

Hi cag014,

 

Ok, thanks for the info and your great scene

I totally missed one thing that made my whole network work with almost 0 repeats (Before it had over 20% !).

The nodes that keep having repeats needs to be removed/excluded, then reset to factory default and then re-included again.

 

Maybe this is widely known but i had missed it..

I still have alot of "dead nodes" when using Cag014´s "Z-wave Range Test" scene but everyting works perfectly now.

Maybe it can help others struggling with repeats in their network..
