Fakro Window blind issue after ZW3 migration

[Tinbox 4]

I have completed the Migration from ZW2 to ZW3, which went relatively relatively smoothly, apart from having to reconfigure all the RGBW modules so they worked properly, but my main issue to getting my Fakro Window blinds to work with my scenes. They have worked flawlessly for 4 years.

 

I have 6 x Fakro Z Wave roof windows - These work fine after migration. (again after running reconfig)

I have 6 x Fakro  Z Wave roller blinds for the said windows.

 

A couple of salient points first;

 

When the window is open there is no power to the blind 

When the window is closed, power is restored to the blind and the blind should reconnect to the Z wave network to be operated.

 

In ZW2 I think (after 4 years) that the polling of the device was set at an interval as such that it reconnected relatively quickly even if it did not reconnect straight away. How I had my scenes set up for opening and closing etc based on outside temp, nightime bla blaa blaa this worked flawlessly.

 

With ZW3 the blinds simply don't reconnect to the network, unless I manually click reconnect in the app / interface. This means that no scenes work anymore when the windows close as the HC3 things they are offline. I notice that all the polling settings have been removed from ZW3. 

 

Any thoughts on how to get around this as its a bit boring that some quite expensive window blinds don't really work with automations.

 

Thx

Disable marking devices as dead, the polling in 3.0 works different due the very specific specificafion requrements.

 

That should solve your issue
