    My fibaro  motion sensors did work until the last experimental  firmware version .

    Also works without a problem with the Fibaro HC2 3 x powernode 6 so I have to agree that it looks like more a app/homey issue then the greenwave sockets. It is unclear why they have been removed from the market but I have not seen any reports that it is to do with the incorrect functioning of the sockets. 
    FYI, I use eight powernodes 6 on my HC2, no problems at all. I tried two powernodes 6 on Homey, no luck. Strange behavior, no behavior at all, values false not reported by insights, problems to deassociatate them (didn't got them removed at all).

    Did extensive testings with the two devices in a range lower then 3 meters.

    Looks to me that Z-wave is far beyond stable for selling as product on the market.

    If they want to solve it, Athom should implement a way to log/monitor/see whats happening, so users (we) can do some testing, and report, to get Z-Wave reliable.
    There is a way to test what is being send over the Z-wave network. If you get the Greenwave app from Github and run the app via the developer tools you get to see all the values that are sent from and to the device. Maybe you can get some details from there.

    All my main power devices works great , but battery devices does not update temp etc after some time. 

    It this a app or Homey problem ?

    I have some problems with the fibaro motion sensor, it randomly updates the lux-levels: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/38369/#Comment_38369

    @Vonkenboer ;
    Thanks for your confirmation. I so hope Athom will address this issue soon....!

    I have a Nodon Z-Wave wall switch that gives me problems. When I press a button it is often not recognized. After this button press a new press soon after is often recognized. It almost seems like Homey is first sleeping and need to wake up. It is such that it can not be used by the rest of the familiy.

    I also use several wall plugs for lights and other things, and they work well. But they are controlled from homey. There Homey does not need to listen all the time.

    Because of this behaviour I use a KlikaanKlikuit wall switch. And that one works well.

    I also have problems with the Z-Wave range (and the KlikaanKlikuit range).

    Hey guys,
    after reseting the motion sensor after excluding from honey and 2-3 times repairing with homey my little mesh with homey - Fibaro Wall Plug - Fibaro Motion sensor + is working!!!

    yeah!

    but don't ask me why it works now and not before. I think I tried it 10 times in the last days and suddenly it works. 

    So i am happy that my motion sensor now takes the wall wall plug to reach homey but I think there must be a better controlling to see when/why or why not the connections work. Or some button to built the mesh in homey again or rebuilt. I think the Fibaro home center 2 has such function.

    I'm not such a z-wave expert, but according to this link (http://www.vesternet.com/knowledgebase/technical/kb-24) Fibaro HC2 rebuilds the Mesh automatically every few days. Manual rebuilding is also a possibility?

    Is such a function already built in Homey? Is it on the to-do list?

    According to someone from Athom, this is functionality that is built in to the z-wave chip and happens automatically.

    Is there a step-to-step how-to available somewhere?

    Nope, not that I know of, you can try find some help on Slack. But some steps are here: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1448/how-to-cli-install-method
    But saw that you already know most of that.

    So if you download the Greenwave app (https://github.com/athombv/com.greenwavesystems) and save it somewhere to your harddisk and then from the console (when navigated to the folder where you extracted the app) do athom project --run the project will start running and debug information will be shown.

    I will try to get this working. Thank you!
