Hello,

ever since i upgraded domoticz and added 2 new zwave plus devices the zwave mesh seems not as good as it was.

on V5019 with 5 devices every device talked to every device like it should.(see mesh picture 1)

after that i did the following
upgraded to V6169 to get support for the FGWPF zwave plus module
added 1x Fibaro FGWPF Zwave plus module
excluded 1x fibaro FGWPF NON ZWAVE PLUS module(yes i did replace it with zwave plus to get better coverage)
included extra Fibaro FGWPF Zwave plus module

so the idea was to only get zwave plus in my nedwork and add an extra zwave plus module near a module which is far away.

the result is however that the modules do not seem to talk to as many devices as before
How can this be. it should create a very steady zwave plus mesh and not this have connected situation.

i tried everything possible to get the modules to connect without result.

so i added module 17(this one goes near module 11 in the garden outside)
i added module 18(to replace module 9)
i removed module 9(module 18 is in the same place module 9 used to be)

Before situation with module 9 the only NON ZWAVE PLUS module)
Every module talkes to the other module

new situation, module 9 removed and replaced by module 18 every module now ZWAVE PLUS
added new module 17 near module 121 for better coverage(obviously not working)

is it save to make a backup from the database 6169, reinstall 5019 and restore the database
or should i restore the 5019 backup after reinstalling 5019( what happens with the 2 devices i added and the one i deleted, will they be recreated?)
