The Z-Wave poller app corrects a polling issue with certain Z-Wave devices that do not display their state properly, but the issue only affects certain non Z-Wave Plus devices. To determine if your Z-Wave device is a candidate for Z-Wave poller, active your device manually, and watch the logs to see if the device does NOT register a change of state in the logs. If it doesn't, then it is a candidate for Z-Wave Poller, but if does register a change in the logs, you should not use the Z-Wave Poller app with it.
Installing the Z-Wave Poller app
- From the Hubitat Web Interface select Apps
- Choose Z-Wave Poller from the list of Hubitat Elevation™ Built-In Apps

- When your devices are selected, select Start polling for selected devices.
- You can pause Z-Wave polling at any time by opening the app and choosing either Stop polling for selected devices or Stop All Poling.
