Optimize/Repair Network

Over time, you may notice the software response slowing down or there may be communication failures in your Z-Wave®network indicated by the red circle slash. This condition may be caused by one or more reasons such as Z-Wave®modules with burned out light bulbs, weak antenna strength, missing or broken modules, or modules which have been moved in the network. To optimize and repair the communication paths in your network, switch to the SETTINGS tab and click the OPTIMIZE AND REPAIR NETWORK link.

NOTE: With some versions of Z-Wave®firmware, this link will not be available unless the USB Z-Wave®Adapter is acting as Primary controller. If this link is not available, try to repair the network using your Primary controller and then update the USB Z-Wave®Adapter using the RECEIVE UPDATE FROM PRIMARY CONTROLLER feature.
