I have almost given up on my razzberry. My smart home is really stupid and I have posted some threads for a while with various issues and given logs and still no response from any developer.

As best as I can tell from looking at other Z-Wave controller software (see: https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/issues/6341) and SIlicon Labs release notes (see: https://www.silabs.com/documents/public ... .3.1.0.pdf), there's at least 1 known memory leak and stability issues with 700 series modules.

The zwave-js developers suggest a workaround for 700-series stability issues by periodically doing a soft reset. Since this is non-destructive and only interrupts Z-Wave communication for a couple of seconds, You may want to try setting up a daily cron job to issue a Z-Way API command to perform a soft reset and see if that helps. Something like the following:

Code: Select all

curl -u admin:[PASSWORD] --globoff 'http://127.0.0.1:8083/ZWave.zway/Run/SerialAPISoftReset()'

OMG!
This fixed my issues that have plagued me for last six months. Why can't they have posted here in the forums about it and also made the deb-package install a Cron as a workaround for affected devices.

And in what form does this manifest itself?
