Hi I’m new to Home Assistant and Home automation. I’m running home assistant on a pc with a zwave Aeotec usb stick. I’ve started my journey with three zwave devices. One Cubino dimmer relay, one Aeotec Multisensor 6 and one Aeotec door sensor 7. The cubino dimmer and Multisensor are working flawlessly. I’m having trouble with my Aeotect door sensor 7. I’m adding my node securely by the way.
Firstly It seems I can only include it into my zwave network when im within 1 meter from the usb dongle. When I try to include it from a further distance i’m getting no response in the log file.
So What I tried at first was include it into my network and then I’ve positioned it on the door. This ended up with a non responsive device since it did not show open/close status. Next I changed Configuration parameter 4 which enables a range test after double click. Using this range test I was able to get a response in the log file while constantly approaching the door. And I actually got the sensor working for a while until it suddenly stopped working.
Last thing I tried was “heal network” which the device did not respond to since it’s asleep. I manually waked the device by 1 clicking the tamper button and I actually had to to it repeatidly since the device seems to go back to sleep before finishing completing the current action.
Here is the log file:

Am I missing something obvious or a faulty device perhaps ?
