Zwave polling only one device

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi all,

My HA instance only seems to be polling one device at a time instead of all every interval. Is this an expected behavior?

I am using zstick gen5 and here is my config:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
  polling_interval: 30000
  device_config:
    # Front Door Dimmer
    light.ge_12729_3way_dimmer_switch_level:
      polling_intensity: 4
    # Kitchen lights - Main
    light.ge_12724_3way_dimmer_switch_level:
      polling_intensity: 1
    # Staircase
    light.ge_12724_3way_dimmer_switch_level_2:
      polling_intensity: 1

Thanks

I believe that is the way it’s supposed to work by default. I do seem to remember reading something about how this changed at some point, and that there’s a way to change it to the “old” way. But I haven’t found this to be an issue.

Having said that, I think maybe you shouldn’t be using polling with your three GE dimmers. I have a couple different kinds of GE dimmers (a newer Z-Wave Plus one, and an older one that isn’t Z-Wave Plus.) For both I don’t use polling. Rather I use refresh_value and delay. That works much better. I do use polling for a couple of GE switches that have Add-On switches (that form 3-way configurations.) And, for completeness, I do have other GE switches (without Add-Ons) where I don’t use either (polling or refresh.)

FWIW, here is my zwave config:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/zwave
  network_key: !secret zwave_network_key
  polling_interval: 10000
  device_config:
    light.family_room_lamp:
      refresh_value: true
      delay: 3
    light.master_bedroom_nightstand_lamp:
      refresh_value: true
      delay: 3
    switch.living_room_lamps:
      polling_intensity: 1
    switch.kitchen_light:
      polling_intensity: 1

How do I change it to the old way? Thanks
