I don’t if others have used this outlet. Here is a link to it on Amazon Leviton Outlet
I have one installed and it works most of the time. The issue with it is any small power glitch and it locks up. Meaning it won’t turn on or off. If it is off it stays off. If it is on it stays on. Even the physical button will not work. The only way to recover is to flip the breaker for 15-20s to reset it.
Just curious if others have had this experience and an FYI for others.
Try setting one of its config parameters when it’s hung that may reset it. I have an aoetec device with similar behavior and setting a config parameter gets it to work again.
Next time it freaks out, I’ll give that a try. Need to see if I can automatically detect when it happens also so that I don’t have to “fix” it manually.
When it fails, be good to see if you can poll the switch state from the zwavejs ui.
What I do to determine health of my switches is I periodically poll them. If a response is received a sensor template updates with current time. If the time of the last poll response exceeds a threshold I declare the device is dead and generate an alarm.
Looks in here for examples on how to poll the switch and how to have sensor template trigger off the zwave message.
