Hi,
For some time I have suspected that there is something wrong with my z-wave network. I use Z-Wave JS addon.
The issue I have that two of my ground floor door sensors keep dropping off (in a sense that they do not report if the door is opened or closed) but when I move them closer to the controller (Aeotec z-wave usb stick) that is on the 1st floor they work fine.
On the ground floor very close to the two door sensor I have installed Fibaro FGS222 switch and directly above them is another switch (Aeon labs DSC12) - both mains powered so if my limited understanding of Z-Wave technology is correct the door sensors should connect to the switches (as they are closer) rather then the controller.
To prove the theory I have installed “z-wave js to mqtt” add-on (and temporarily stopped the other add-on) and surly enough on the network map that is generated by this addon all devices connect directly to the controller.
Why is that? Is there anything I can do to change this?
Thanks
