The update completed and I left the switch overnight, hoping it would finish its update and start responding to zwave commands again. When I found it in the morning it still wasnt responding so I cycled the power using the air gap switch. Now the dimmer only works via local control and doesnt appear to even repeat on the zwave mesh.
This is the first update Ive had to do, so Im likely missing something. Do z-wave devices need to be excluded and added again after firmware updates?
Just switched back to the “New” firmware updater driver and tried to flash the otz again, now it gives status “please wake up your sleepy device” cycling the power with the air gap switch makes no difference
If the device has a significant modification to the firmware (like perhaps a command class change) then sometimes the device won’t work properly until it gets excluded and or factory reset and re-included.
