I have 2 Aeon Labs Smart Gen 5 switches.
One is added as non-secure (from what I see of configuration) and the second is now added as secure.
My questions are
In order to function as a repeater, do they switches need to be added as secure?
My first switch (the insecure one) works, the binary switch created, I can turn on and off teh ports.
The second switch (the one I’m working on now) was finally added as a secure switch but there is no binary switch in HA so I cannot test the on/off capabilities.
Here are the two snippets from the ozw confi

So just to confirm that I do not have to add my Aeon Smart Switches securely? Because as of right now, I cannot get them to work past joining the nextwork (no switch, capabilities, reporting)
If I may, Is there a way to know if my devices are properly working as repeaters? I have z-wave graph installed but it doesn’t look like anything is repeating…
Sweet. Thanks much Tinkerer. I can revert back to the non-secure mode then given what I read about the key only viable for attack during handshake.
Side question, if I could… Is there a way to force a node to use a repeater rather than the potentially unstable connection to the hub? How do I know if my smart switch is acting like a repeater?
With Z-Wave Plus (and later) the neighbour list is just a vague indicator of things. Z-Wave plus first tries direct, then via the neighbours, then via a broadcast.
As with Zigbee, just let the mesh protocol sort itself out.
Thanks @Tinkerer. I’ll give it a shot. I’ve got some problematic sensors (garage) that cannot go direct so I’m trying to put more repeater type devices in the ceiling to act as repeaters but struggle to confirm if they are working
It seems that when I break things, sometimes I fix things.
Last night I did a network heal, which then seem to rename all my sensors back to their original names (I have 8 x Ecolink sensors) with the same Node ID’s… So that’s a PITA, but…
It seems the graph works now and repeaters are working.
