It depends on the wakeup interval before you set this. Battery devices only wake up periodically. If you changed it to 60 seconds, then woke the device up by pressing the wakeup button, then it should have been set to 60 seconds. And then yes, it should have only taken 60 seconds to change it.

Yes - that’s correct. But battery devices only wake up on a scheduled basis - based on the wakeup class. Also, as I said yesterday, broadcast packets (address 255) are not routed to avoid flooding the network, so previously your battery nodes would not have been routing the Danfoss packets if they were using broadcast.
Exactly. And i have two mains powered devices that are in range of the battery device when placed outdoors. So routing should be covered.
Every node is able to determine which nodes are in its direct wireless range. These nodes are called neighbours. During Inclusion and later on Request, the node is able to inform the controller about its list of neighbours. Using this information, the controller is able to build a table that has all information about possible communication routes in a network. This routing table can be accessed by the user and there are several software solutions, typically called installer tools, that visualise the routing table helping you to optimise the network setup.
One should at least be able to find out if devices know about the neighbours you expect them to see.
I don't know zwave networks so feel free to shut me off if it's not helpful.
I know different networks in general and typically all have ways to debug issues on routing layer. (ping, TTL, etc.)
Just my thoughts from the outside ;-)

Puhhhh…good question.
I had several issues with the Aeon Z-Stick 2 (zwave died every now and then completely à see several discussions here and on github) à switched to UZB stick with the new 500 chip.
The new stick has no button to include nodes à so I guess I included the lc-13 when it was mounted on the heating and the UZB-stick attached to the PC (2,5 rooms away).
I think with the Aeon Stick I mounted the lc-13 and took the z-stick with me to include it there – but cannot remember exactly. Question to the experts: It shouldn’t matter where the lc-13 gets included after a network heal is done – right?

Betreff: Re: [openhab] Danfoss LC-13: Only within main controller range?
Do you remember how you initialized it?
I mean, if the main controller is not reachable in the end position of lc-13. How you include it into network? Maybe that's the magic?
There are several ways to do this. If you own a Z-Stock S2, you can try to carry the USB stick and push the button on the stick to activate the inclusion. Or doing everything without mounting the lc-13 onto the heating first and after the whole inclusion process is finished (including the neighbor update) mounting it to the heating then.
Maybe the inclusion procedure is decisive???

Hi!
I only experienced the issue with Danfoss LCZ251 if the main Controller was not directly reachable. The LC13 works fine in My Environment.
