AEOTEC Multisensor 6 sleeping slave even on USB power?

[rasper]

I am using a AEOTEC Multisensor 6 GEN5 connected through USB power. However in Domoticz it keeps saying me that this node is a "sleeping slave", while my other powered zwave nodes say they are "always on slaves":

Code: Select all

Node Id     Basic Type                                              Generic Type                         Product 	                          
1 *LB         Static Controller	                              Static PC Controller               Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5
2 LBR+      Z-Wave+ node Reporting Sleeping Slave   Home Security Sensor            Aeotec MultiSensor 6	
3 LBR+      Z-Wave+ node Always On Slave	              Siren                                    Aeotec DSD31 Siren Gen5

Is this normal? I would expect the USB powered Multisensor is also an always on slave. I now suspect it is not serving as a routing node. Can I change this and/or can I check that it is in fact routing?

You could compile openzwave yourself, and also the control panel, and check if this also displays it is a sleeping device
If it also displays this, it is
maybe you have to exclude/include it again after putting it on power ?
I wont expect that this node will route traffic

Ok, thanks for the tip. I have never had this device on batteries, so when including it was on power. I will go for the easy way to rearrange my sirene device to another location to recover a dead node (the source of the investigation).
