Best way to start over

konradwalsh

What is the best way to start over fresh?

I have extensive flows and better logic variables.

Has anyone here successfully started over and restored their flows and variables?

Whats the most effective to re-include every device?

mruiter

Why start over. A good cleanup could also do the job.
on the latest experimental zwave cleans up lost and junk zwave devices . Insights can be cleaned up completely.
just delete the unneeded stuff and do a good cleanup.

that should also do the job

konradwalsh

cause since the latest version my system is a crap shoot

I cant reach devices or significant delays in reaching them.

Is there a way to tell to change the routing of a device? or tell it a device in the route doesnt exist?

mruiter

Yes . There’s. Complete new zwave and zigbee tool view on the Athom website . Then go to developers and then tools . You will be amazed

I know .. thanks.. I have seen it but it doesnt allow me to do what I asked does it? Does it allow re-routing or network healing?

mruiter

Reroute you can do on the device. Most device do a heal when you do the pair command or wakeup . On neo that’s 3 times fast on the button click.
you can find the trouble devices on the dev tools.

A complete rebuild can bring you back in the same trouble. Fixing it now will make it work perfect . And no need for a restart from scratch

How can I get rid of Unknown z-wave nodes?

I thought they would get deleted automatically

Did a factory reset som weeks ago - something was wrong somewhere and I could not figure out what or how to fix it and as I was doing a lot of testing on the upcoming SDK2 version for the ZHC5010s I decided to reset all.

Therefore, to try with an answer for the question:
I used the Flow Backups-app as well as I used the backup-functions in Count Down and Better Logic.

Obviously, most flows are corrupted as physicial devices are "new", but it was far faster to replace missing devices with the "new" devices than rebuilding all flows from scratch.
Discovered how the number of flows add up quickly and that I had something like 150 flows, most pretty basic, but still needed.

Add:
1) Don't know if I just didn't figure it out, but importing flows didn't include creating the folder structure. Therefore, you should create the folder structure before importing the old flows.
2) Importing a lot of flows at the same time made it a bit chaotic - I'd advice taking only a few, review those, make them work and then continue with others.

They get deleted when they don’t report to homey .
i guess homey deleted them but they are still with a full battery in a drawer somewhere reporting to homey because you did not reset them to default.

do that to the devices and pull out the battery’s so they don’t drain unnecessary and homey will delete them for you

@mruiter
I have a similar issue with nodes that won't delete. They are not in use, don't have a battery installed but remain present. I created a Github issue (a couple of weeks ago). Latest Homey f/w did not resolve this...bug.

That was really helpful.. thanks.. Yes I figured it would be like that in theory, I just needed to hear it works in practice

This is the thing.. I have these nodes.. there is not a single physical node in my network that is not in use.. So these Unknown ones are need to be deleted. The problem I see is some of routes now travel through non-existent nodes.. therefore I now have delayed responses.

I have similar issues, and reported this via Github.

A bunch of un known nodes, z-wave devices that are connected, but I have no way to delete them.
