I am experimenting with Z-wave in HS3 and it is working fine but I've got a fiew questions.
Using a Z-stick and 2 nodes, the multisensor MFGS01 and a multisensor Gen5. In HS3 it is al working fine.

I'm wondering how to set up the settings for these sensors in HS3 for examples the polling times, what are the best options for them.
Also I noticed the there are no "neighbors count" detected, in my opinion the 2 sensors must communicate with each other, or am I wrong?
Below the settings of my 2 sensors and stick

Are there any suggestions how to optimize the settings, because it's new for me, I don't have a clue
Thanks,

Wil

All your sensors work on batteries. And they sends the status automatically. Temp and lux periodically. Motion when detected. Between that they are in sleep.
You dont need poll for your devices. Only older switches and dimmers need it.

The neighbours probably dont show because battery operaties devices van only be communicated with when they wake up. Homeseer can therefore not retrieve the neighbours.

Mine battery powered devices show also neighbor count, but maybe youre devices are communicatie directly with the stick.
Don't know if you should have the neighbor count on one then?
Maybe the distance between the two devices is to big, so they can not reach each other.
Two devices is also not very much, the more devices you have, the better it works.

A direct connection is not considered a neighbor. A neighbor is another node being used as a route to reach the controller. But as stated, all your devices are battery powered so they will never be part of a route.

If you add a non-battery powered device (and it is in range off course) it should show up on all your other devices, including the battery powered devices.

Oke, thanks for your replies. I wil extend the network now and then if my wallet wil agree
