LZW31-SN / LZW31 and LZW42 - Z-Wave Association Problems

Switches General Discussion

After I changed my controller to an 800-series, my z-wave associations seem to hate working.

I have black and red series switches that are in group associations with ilumin bulbs. I run Z-Wave JS UI.

At least one bulb will not respond to the z-wave association command and just hang, stuck in the “on” position, while all the other bulbs turn off normally.

Moving back to the 500-series controller isn’t fixing the issue.

I’ve reinterviewed, excluded/reincluded, refreshed routes, etc.

As a last resort, I’m reflashing all of the LZW31/31-SN and LZW42 firmware to see if it helps.

This issue is occurring with three different switches.

Reflashing isn’t helping either. Nor is downgrading firmware, or excluding. Oof. Just stuck bulbs on every switch. : /

on/off instead of smart bulb slightly mitigates, but sometimes bulbs stay stuck in the “off” position even after turning on the other two.

ayyy, here’s a decent workaround that ChatGPT came up with using Home Assistant.

for turning bulbs on, set property_key to "002" and use the appropriate light.turn_on action

turn off all associations except lifeline and group 4 (start/stop)
