Massive problems with Z-wave

Until a couple of days ago all my z-wave stuff (5x Fibaro Motion Sensors, 1x Fibaro Roller Shutter 2, 1x Greenwave Power Switch, 1x Danfoss LC-13) was working fine. Now I have all kind of problems:
-Motion sensors do not report motion.
-Motion sensors do report motion, but do not stopp reporting motion
-Some motion sensor cards do not show illumination or temperature values
-Greenwave Switch does not react
-Roller Shutter 2 does not react
-E5-Error from the Danfoss (I know that everybody else is having this as well)
-Unable to add new devices (Homey shows "Please wait until z-wave is ready", then after some time "Another pairing session is already in progress")
Sometimes it starts working fine very sudden, that one or more of the problems above occure again.
Many devices are direct line of sight of Homey without any walls in between. Some have concrete walls in between. Firmware is 0.10.9
I tried rebooting Homey, which does not seem to help. I just performed a factory reset of the Z-wave unit, but I did not help either. I do not want to rest my whole Homey because I spent a lot of work on my flows.
Does anyone else have a similar experience? Suggestions? Right now Z-wave is not usable for me...

Have tried resetting the network and removing - adding all switches and sensors, but result is the same. (After resetting the network, I still had to remove all devices maually, before I could re-pair them)
Before resetting the network, I also got the "waiting for Z-Wave" when trying to add a new switch. After resetting the network it reacts faster, but the sensors still do not work reliable.
sounds more like youre mesh network is in trouble.
re pairing a device triggers mesh healing but should also be triggerd when in trouble. i think homey still has trouble somehow with the healing part
I did install node js on my computer as shown and logged into my athom account as shown in the video above. What package do I need to install to see the cpu load? Sorry for asking so much
Just download an app from Github and install it with 'athom project --install'
I am wondering if it might be a Homey Memory issue. I see system + apps consuming a lot of memory. Might be the Linux kernel is killing processes when the memory load becomes to high which causes unexpected behaviour?
Personally I think it's ridicalous Athom installed only 512mb of RAM anyway. I am only running apps for the various devices that I own (multiple vendors so multiple apps) and memory load is always pretty high, which concerns me a lot.
I don't have a lot of flows, 10 I think, so i'm prett sure that's not causing the high memory load for "system".
In my current setup, several lamps are triggered by motion and or light intensity from one of the two Fibaro motion sensors.. A closer look to the data (download, Insights does not show this) as reported by the motion sensors, show some erratic data reporting; not corresponding to to the settings (Lux threshold @ 20 Lux, Lux interval @ 600 seconds).
See my new Github issues on this erratic reporting from the motion sensor.
Since I was expecting the motion sensor to work along the settings as set, each change in light intensity (the erratic behavior as shown above), would trigger a switch on (or off) command to the lamp... which can explain the deadlock in ProcessSendData...
I now included an additional AND card to only send a switch on command if the lamp is off:
I will check in the next days if this solves my stability issues... perhaps a check if you have similar issues (if so, please contribute to these issues)
I suffer from the same issues but it's stable as soon as I disable the greenwave app (and reboot once).
So if you suffer from a freezing system and you have a greenwave powernode, please try to disable this app first.
just my 2 cents..
See also Emile comment about this device :
https://github.com/athombv/com.greenwavesystems/issues/2#issuecomment-237943465
and see also the open issues : https://github.com/athombv/com.greenwavesystems/issues
let's first check whether or not this issues are related to the greenwave powernode, if so, then we can focus what the differences are between setup A (stable) and setup B (unstable).
If everyone who has stability problems let us know if there is a greenwave powernode is involved and if so, if disabling the app and rebooting resolves the issue (please note that installing a new app version enables the app again).
I disabled the greenwave app and restarted Homey. After reboot I enabled Zwave and all works stable again.
So it looks like there is an issue with the Greenwave app. Can someone also confirm?
I have 3x Powernode 6, I have changed the polling intervalls as advised on this forum but still zwave freezes after a couple of hours.
After disabeling the Greenwave app and a reboot of Homey my zwave network was stable for the last week.
