Hi Warren, Thank you again for the replies and guidance. I was able to update to the new software via flash drive (again the GC3 didn’t show a download available). From there it restarted fine so I’m now on 3.1.3 Build Version 6257 Z-Wave 4.05. The light commands now seem to be flowing from the app (iPhone X) to the lights & working. Lock commands (i.e. add codes back into the lock) are still failing I can run a rediscovery which I’ll do tomorrow during the day (3 kids & wife going in & out makes 240 minutes of non door opening difficult to say the least).
In answer to learning the locks in I took the shop door lock off the door and brought it to the GC3 and the backdoor lock (always worked before batteries died about a week and half ago when I deleted (2X / attempt) and then readded it to the system. The backdoor lock is less than 2 feet from the panel. Unfortunately placing the GC3 in the middle of the house isn’t an option as you’d never make it to arm / disarm the system in the minute prior to police dispatch. Interestingly though the panel seems to make it both to the farthest light (master closet) and lock (front door deadbolt) fine. It also gets the signal upstairs. What I don’t understand though is why say in my son’s room the light works to add, but the fan switch (right next to the light) does NOT add. Some, not all, of the Z-Wave light switches are: GoControl Smart Dimmer Switch 500 Watt (I’ve literally got a Z-Wave & Z-Wave plus box in front of me). Some of the switches ~ 60 of them are ~ 4 years old. I added these to my original Cadx system with no issues, and then removed and reinstalled them at the new place adding roughly an additional ~ 40 z-wave+ switches models: 2Gig: WD500Z5-1 (Dimmer), WS15Z5-1 (On/Off Switch), WT00Z5-1 (3-Way Dimmers). Is there a phone number to call you on or please schedule a call during the day Wednesday to discuss by phone? Other significant issues is that I’ve labeled all of the switches on the panel & in Alarm.Com but the panel continues to drop the names on the screen even though I’m hitting “Save” and waiting for the screen to come-up and say it’s completed.
