hence the topic ?
Not sure if this got sorted, for both mains powered and battery powered devices, but regarding mains powered devices, keep in mind that the poll setting is the maximum rate, not the actual rate; the actual rate varies with the number of nodes in your network.
[quote=“nullx8, post:12, topic:175550”]the device in question has set polling to 15 secounds (overrides the 60 sec default)
[…]
with this settings the device simply gets updated remote changes somewhat in between 10 sec. and 15 minutes.[/quote]
not really sortet out for me …
seems that quite alot of hardware originating from China without western supervision do have this issues.
and vera is pretty much hopeless about this.
the only way to enforce the updates is a scene running every whatever time (1-2 min) call the poll command
that works fine but greatly distrubing other z-wave related activities happening at the same time
and even more greatly disrupt my fate in the product itself.
If you require instant status for your (permanently powered) switches, then you need to make sure the device supports that feature.
Also, for a device that supports it, Vera will skip polling, so in that case you’d need a forced poll if for some reason the instant updates are unreliable (but it’s probably better to try to sort the update issue).
That actually makes alot of sense.
Does anyone know what does identify the “instant updates”
The switch in question has this
Capabilities 211,156,0,4,16,1,L,R,B,RS,|37,39,112,114,115,133,134,
And another
Capabilities 211,156,0,4,16,1,L,R,B,RS,|37,39,96:3,112,114,115,134,
Which one do i remove/change to make the vera “think” the device does not support updates?
The ZWave capabilities can be found at:

It is (loosely) related to CC 133.
However, for relevant devices Vera will set the poll interval to 0, instead of say, 60. So you can override/change that, and the device should become part of Vera’s automatic poll cycle.
(With your earlier observation that an update may take between 10s - 15m (in your case).)
got myself a fibaro doorsensor and it seems to report the temperature every 4 minutes or so.
it has firmware 2.1 on it. perhaps its a fault in the older firmware ? or its coverage is not 100% ok.
i found that it doesnt have much range. lot less then this everspring doorsensor i have.
thats because of the poor MCV Support of the sensor, the device itself does submit in .25 steps
i mean the range of transmission of the signal. but indeed the vera also lacks the 0.25 degrees accuracy also which is not conform upnp specs and is very much wanted by a lot of people incl myself.
