Zwave Automation Timing out

I’ve spent hours on this already and can’t figure out what is going on. I have been adding zwave switches and setting up automations without any issue until now. I add a Zooz Zen71 (node 16) and starting setting up automations for different scenes on the switch to control multiple other zwave switches. The automation to turn on 3 lights(3 up presses) works just fine. but the automation to turn off 3 lights (node 16 and two other nodes) has a massive delay, sometimes 15 seconds or more. I can run the automations manually in home assistant and they work just fine. Only when they are activated by the switch itself is there an issue. I have tried the following so far.

  1. Updated zwave sitck firmware.
  2. Heal network
  3. Heal node 16
  4. removed and re-added node 16 to the zwave network.
  5. changed the automation to use 4 buttons presses instead of 3.

The issue only seems to occur when the automation includes turning off node 16.

Below are the Zwave logs when trying to activate the automation. I Can’t figure out what is going wrong with this switch. Any help would be amazing. Thank you.

UPDATE: So I removed everything and created an automation that uses Zen71. Scene2 (bottom button) pressed 3 times to turn itself off. This seems to be where the delay is caused. It can use a I don’t know what these log errors are indicating. I’m assuming maybe I just have a faulty switch. If I use a different switch to run an automation to turn this one off it works. It seems like it is not sending data back to my zwave stick correctly? Here are the logs from this test.
