TKB TZ68E - loosing pairing 1.7.1707

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

I have recently upgraded to 1.7.1707 and it seems that it is having problems with the TKB-TZ68Es that I use to control various things.

The other day one had to be re-paired and yesterday three.

Any ideas what can be done to avoid having to re-pair them?

Mmm looks like it’s time to give up on Vera and move to SmartThings… I have a SmartThings hub working fine in my house with TZ68Es and I added SRT321 support. The difference between closed and opensource is I can fix the drivers on SmartThings and get remote access to the logs but just have to suffer when they get broken in Vera!

With Vera, at Mum’s, the TZ68 pairings are lasting a few days and then failing… They were reset on Tuesday and last night the same device and one of the others that was working has gone “device cannot be contacted”… the future of SmartHomes “powered” by Vera.

It would seem that you found what best suits your needs.

Cheers!

It’s a shame that Vera firmware updates are so bad that they manage to break working systems, so the only solution is to throw them away…
I had one firmware update that bricked an Edge - replaced under warranty.
Another which completely broke the ability to control the thermostats and add devices. Apparently caused by the IP cameras, but it took support ages to sort out.
So this is the final straw…
