Steps
After adding, removing, or physically relocating Z-Wave devices, trigger a full network heal (e.g. Control Panel > Actions > Heal Network in Z-Wave JS UI).
Understand this instructs every node to rediscover its neighbors within range and report back to the controller.
Let the controller use those neighbor reports to rebuild its routing tables reflecting the current physical topology.
For a single problem device instead of the whole mesh, use Rebuild Node Routes (per-node heal) rather than a full network heal.
Expect a full heal to take a long time on larger networks, and avoid interacting with the network heavily while it's running.
Known gotchas
Sleeping (battery-powered) devices often don't participate in a heal unless they're awake or the heal explicitly includes sleeping nodes, so a network heal alone can silently skip them.
Running a full heal on a large network can take a very long time and temporarily degrade responsiveness, so it's better scheduled during low-usage periods rather than run reflexively after every small change.
