I have a script that runs daily to re-interview devices that seem to go into comas at random. This worked flawlessly for months. Now I see ZWaveJS acknowledges the command but then seems to cheerfully ignore it. Acknowledgment below appears in debug window:
899 INFO MQTT: Message received on zwave/_CLIENTS/ZWAVE_GATEWAY-zwavejs2mqtt/api/refreshInfo/set: ‘{ “args”: [ 79 ] }’
Has something changed?
Why?
It really sounds like a mesh problem, add a smart plug or repeater between the device and a routing node.
I add that when I manually re-interview the devices, they come back to life just fine. It’s just the MQTT command that is ignored.
Anyone with ideas here?
Why? This is unnecessary. Just use a ping if you are trying to make dead nodes come alive. That’s itself is kind of pointless anyways. Whether dead or alive doesn’t affect your ability to control it.
https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/discussions would be a better place to ask about MQTT questions.
It also ignores ping command issued from MQTT. I’ll move to other forum
