Allows one to remove a device from the zwave network.| | heal_network | Tells the controller to "heal" the network. Bascially asks the nodes to tell the controller all of their neighbors so the controller can refigure out optimal routing. | | soft_reset | Tells the controller to do a "soft reset". This is not supposed to lose any data, but different controllers can behave differently to a "soft reset" command.| +| test_network | Tells the controller to send no-op commands to each node and measure the time for a response. In theory, this can also bring back nodes which have been marked "presumed dead".| The soft_reset and heal_network commands can be used as part of an automation script to help keep a zwave network running relliably.
