Node/device removal not reliable

Post by Bostjan »

Hi,

I had to remove and than include back the zwave device/node. It is Fibaro wall plug FGWPEF-102, controller is Sigma Design UZB.
For node removal I used Exclude node from Node management from Harware and as device is concerned followed the instruction manual (3 quick presses of button). Domoticz nicely reported that device was removed, but as far as wall plug was concerned it was still in state as it would be still included in the network (green led when plugged into socket). So before proceeding with adding it to network I had to reset the device, but then I also deleted overall energy consumption which was clearly not my intent.
Then I played a little bit with removing and adding for few times and the results were very inconsistent - sometimes devices were completely removed, sometimes not. In one case Domoticz even said the device was removed but actually stayed in controller so i had to remove iit as dead node.

Someone else have similar experience? Is there a better way to remove node in more reliable way, as from OZW control panel maybe? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

In case someone is interested, I found the solution.
Even if the described problem appears, you can always remove node "again". So if your controller no longer has specified node in the network you can perform removal again and again - you can do that even with controller from different network.
