Re the groups, they aren't needed for successful operation.
From what I can make out, the Razberry boards work better with an external antenna. The internal one can pick up rfi from the pi board itself. I would try a Z-Stick, preferably connected with a USB extension to get it away from the pi itself.
I have a Razberry that I intend to use as a second controller, but have already bought the external antenna and cable assy.

Alternatively there are places on the Razberry with provision for soldering either a mini coax connector (not easy) or an antenna coax cable (a bit easier)

The ESXI number 13 (red colour) is forwarding to TVrum device number 6 (orange colour), then device 6 is then connected to your controller.
I would try to ensure that the green 8 and then afterwards try to heal network

You shall include device 8 to your controller. Device 8 must have a manual that explains how to include (normally there is a button you hold down or click 3 times and then de device are in inclusion mode), then have this approx. 1 meter from your controller. in Domoticz you shall then include new devices, and then your device shall appear

bjacobse wrote: Saturday 28 July 2018 9:21 maybe the node 18 can't reach your controller, can you try to add a node nearby so it can relay/forward data? (and this shall not be a battery operated node as they don't relay/forward)
