not 100% sure...there was a option for associations with homeseer devices
Later this week I will receive some more zwave devices ..will check that also.

Because of some problems caused by z-seer en repositioning of the USB stick I had to restart homeseer, guess what local changes on the switch are now reflected in homeseer. I assume we hit another bug.

@Enver what have you ordered ?

Willem,
I read something about problems by relocating Z-wave devices after adding them to the network. You should add a device to the network while it is at it's final location.

good to hear that it's working..

What is the Homeseer version that you are using?

I have the build 2.3.0.82

I ordered 3 extra screen controllers and one popp plugin switch.

My one reported the status back properly but got unrealiable when almost out of reach (about 10 meters).

Willem you can better upgrade
there are lot of bug fixes in the latest betas for zwave...see the list on HS forum.
latest official beta is 2.3.60

I have two devices
- Danfoss distance +/- 5 meter 1 wall
- Screen control distance +/- 10 meter on the second floor.

I'm happy with the reach and this will be much better when there are more devices.

30 meter must not be big problem when you ghave more devices.

Currently I'am testing with some Z-Wave stuff. I'am using the ZCS201 as secundary controller and the ZTH200 as prim. controller. I'am a bit disappointed about the range I can get. I wonder if routing between the nodes is automatic or do I have to set parameters somewhere? It looks like that routing is not optimum or not working at all. HS has something they call: Network Health Options. When I buy the zwave stick from Aeaon labs can Network Health Options be used then? Or did I miss something about routing? Currently testing with a Merten RF-receiver 507001 and a ZRP200 appl. module.

Willem,

not all devices work as a router, normaly all z-wave switches work as a router.
I'll check what HS does with the Aeon Labs with health check for you.

O.k. Willem, I'll wait for your answere, thanks.
