Scene works with iVera but not with Leviton VRCZ4-MOZ

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

New to Vera (and very frustrated).
Hardware:
Veralite running 1.5.406
Leviton Switch VRS15-1LZ
Leviton outlet VRR15-1LZ
Leviton Zone controller VRCZ4-MOZ
Software:
iVera running on my iPhone

I have a scene which turns on the switch and outlet. When I trigger this scene from the iVera software, it works correctly. When I trigger the same scene from the Leviton controller, it turns on the switch, but not the outlet? How can this be? I was assuming that regardless of the trigger, the Veralite was sending the “on” or “off” commands. Do I not understand this correctly. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If the devices are capable of associating with the scene controller itself, the scene controller will control the devices directly and not rely on Vera for turning them on or off. How far is the outlet and switch when using the scene controller? I wonder if the scene controller is to far from the outlet to be controlled or the association between the two did not get configure correctly.

Thanks for your reply.

The outlet is about 20 feet from the scene controller with one wall separating them. The switch is probably a little further and on a different floor.

Can you check to see if the Scene controller can see the outlet via the node list. If it is that close, it should be one of the neighbors.

With VRCS2 Leviton

I can not create a scene 2 loads on or 2 loads off

I create the scene but when execute nothing happens.

turning the device by vera is running well and fine…

why with scene not ok ?

Garret,
Pardon my ignorance, but how do I view the node list?

Click on the device via the wrench icon and under the settings tab you’ll see a line called neighbors. These are the neighbors that the device can see and communicate to.

Garret,
Thanks for pointing out how to find neighbors.

The Scene controller appears to need to step through one device to reach the outlet (another Leviton z-wave outlet which has no current load itself).

The Scene controller appears to need to step through the vera unit to reach the switch (that is, both the scene controller and the switch have the vera controller as neighbors, but not each other directly).

The switch appears to be much more reliable in responding to scenes initiated via the scene controller than the outlet (which only works, say 50% of the time).
