Thanks I was running UI5 for a while but thought I would take a stab at UI7 again. I'm now back to UI5.

@hek said: Does the repeater send any sensor data itself? The dashboard "last update" only reflect data coming from the repeater. No, all it is is a repeater. The only node that could send its signal through it is my doorbell which won't send anything until the doorbell is pressed, so I guess that all makes sense. I only have one sensor that is communicating all the time, which is my garage door switch which also sends temp values. The funny thing is that it is this switch that is the most reliable and ALWAYS works the instant I ask it to. the relay switches that I have turning operating some lights, that is the only thing I have them doing and there are times that I am having to repeatedly press there button on the dashboard to finally get the relay to work.

Yeah that does seem to be the case. But I have read that some were having success so I gave it a go anyways... I can't see me having much time for a while to give this another go, so i'll probably wait until i can roll back to UI5.
