[Resolved] Two devices, same address

Hopefully posting in the correct forum...

I was debugging a z-wave range problem last night, and suddenly discovered that two devices I am trying to position specifically to act as long-range repeaters have ended up with the same address. Both are Fibaro FGS221, and I'm using an Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 2 with Indigo 7. See attached screen grab - the top two lines are one device, and the bottom two lines are another.

Any suggestions on how I can clear this up?

The bottom one is disabled which is likely how you were able to create the top one. Just delete the bottom ones.

OK, will give that a try. If that doesn't work, I'll exclude them both, and re-include them.

I'm puzzled though, how a device that was already included and and had been given address 29, somehow ended up getting address 16. You can see the original addresses in the Device Name column.

You likely resynced the device with a different Z-Wave node after it was originally created. The number in the name is never edited even if you resync against a different device.

Now resolved.

I deleted and excluded the '29' device and then re-included it, which gave it address 30. Re-enabling the original '16' device was then possible and everything works again.
