Include and Move

Since Z-Wave creates a mesh of the included devices, what happens if you include a device at location A and then move the device to location B?

Does the network self-heal?
Do I need to do something in Indigo to update the mesh when devices are moved?

You should resync it in its final location.

There is an Optimize function that you can initiate from Indigo. You'll find it at Interfaces > Zwave > Optimize Network.

There is an Optimize function


I schedule this process every morning at 4AM.

Does you r network change frequently? I optimize mine once a month just as a housekeeping thing or when I add/move a device.

Thanks interesting, why do you feel the need to perform that daily?

Unless your network changes frequently, it's actually more of a risk running network optimization frequently because it can cause other standard device communications to fail so you might get out-of-date status information or a failed automated control.

If you find that you need to do the optimization frequently, then there is something else going on.
