I recently upgraded my Z-Wave setup by switching from an SD card to an NVME SSD and installing a Zooz ZST39 Z-Wave stick. The goal was to improve performance and reliability, especially after experiencing slowdowns and multiple power outages. While the initial setup worked, I faced some challenges with devices going into an ‘ERROR:COMM’ state. After some troubleshooting, I realized that one of my Z-Wave devices might be faulty. I also noticed some issues with log files being deleted, which I managed to resolve by recreating the necessary folders and ensuring persistence was maintained.
On the topic of sensor filtering, I’ve noticed that my temperature sensors occasionally record extreme high or low values. This can be frustrating, especially when trying to maintain accurate environmental monitoring. I’ve heard that using a template sensor could help filter out these anomalies. While I haven’t implemented this yet, it’s something I plan to explore in the coming weeks.
For anyone else dealing with Z-Wave issues, I recommend checking for faulty devices and ensuring your firmware is up to date. If you’re considering an SSD upgrade, make sure to back up your logs and configurations before making the switch. It’s also a good idea to test your setup thoroughly after any major changes.
If you’ve had similar experiences or have tips for filtering sensor data, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other troubleshoot these common issues.
