My 60+ Z-Wave Device Experience after 3 Months

May 30, 2026

In February of 2026, I migrated over 60 Z-Wave devices to Homey Pro and began automating on the Homey platform. I can now confidently say that the system runs stable.

In the past, I read a lot about the now infamous TRANSMIT_COMPLETE_FAIL errors with Z-Wave on the Homey Pro, but I have not experienced these problems in the past 3 months.

Here are a few takeaways from my journey so far:

1. Create a map of your home and place your Homey hub where you want it.

2. Start by including your mains-powered Z-Wave devices first.

3. Begin including devices in the rooms closest to your Homey and gradually work your way outwards.

4. Once your mains-powered devices are included, add your battery-powered devices.

5. Let the Z-Wave mesh network settle overnight to let it determine the best routes.
