To my utmost dismay my mf'ing ISY has stopped handshaking with 95% of my devices. Dunno if it's the ISY beta, don't care, UDI is painfully slow in making updates so I don't see the point.
I moved away from using CQC and the Aeostick as it only recognized 50% of my devices.  As of this moment i'm considering using CQC for the devices it recognizes, and blowing away/resetting the ISY for the devices it recognizes.  Assuming a blowaway / restart gets the ISY working again, otherwise i'm just boned.
Any opinion on using the CQC Beta zWave vs the G/A one?

The new driver is designed to make it fairly straightforward for us to add support for devices. I'm happy to work with you to get yours added. And there are generic handlers for common stuff that can be used as well in the meantime. You can always redo the ISY for the short term while we work on adding support for your stuff, then you can switch over.

We tried but I think I have some strange ones.
OK I'll try the beta and only put unrecognized ones into the ISY

The new driver should be able to handle just about anything, though it may require specific code to do so.

ISY got even worse, just ditched all but 3 devices tonight and moved into CQC/VRUSB/Aeotec tonight. Last 3 are in difficult-to-access locations (which is why I wanted them automated), will move those into CQC tomorrow.
In ISY defense 2 (out of 25) devices are >5 years old, might even be 10. Getting "unknown" in RFIT for mfr type, I have one extra new zWave switch, will switch one out tomorrow. The other will be a dumb switch until I have the time to swap it out, at which point i'll buy one.
CQC picked up the model #s on ~60% OOB. I had to manually set the unit type for 40%. I think it's working fine, will know as time progresses.
The other wildcard is that this is on a $180 "minix" mini-pc, 4GB/32GB embedded Win10 Home. It's a little hokey on various things, a little petrified that it won't be stable as a CQC server. My MS is a VM machine, can't plug the Aeotec into the host and pass through, so will suck up and buy a beefier machine as a 2ndary server only if absolutely required.

Woke up this morning, Aeotec was offline (red). Rebooted mini-pc, now it's online but no lighting fields. I flushed the logs, put driver into verbose, below is the only thing I see.
I also started getting the "The client side driver directory could not be cleaned out" again, so I wonder if this is a Windows/networking issue. I wasn't getting that, just came up again.

That means that the CQC Client Server either has been stopped, isn't in auto mode, or is being blocked by something so that the Admin Interface can't talk to it. Running CQCNetTest can provide more information.

Is the CQC Client Service running on that machine? Check the services list and you should see at least it and usually it and the app shell service. The client service should always be running on all CQC enabled machines. If it's not marked auto-start, then it may have been changed at some point, so mark it thusly and start it.
If it's running, then something is blocking it on that machine. It has the right address and port it's trying to talk to, so one of these scenarios would have to sort of be the culprit.

Both services are running (App & Client). I wonder if it's a malwarebytes thing. Are there a certain set of ports I should exclude? I know I changed the actual #s, is it the 13520 one?
