Clearing old / phantom ZW devices from ZMatter dongle?

I couldn't make a migration from Polisy / Zooz to Eisy / Zmatter work so ended up having to remove and re-add all my Zwave devices. They start around ZY14 or so. Is there a way to "see" what is in the dongle so I can delete devices that possibly aren't actually in my current ISY (or is it Iox now?) configuration? Zwave seems to be working like it should (despite some missing functions in certain devices though).

Thanks

You would need to factory reset the dongle and start all over. Every time you attempt to add a device, successful or fail, the number increases by 1.

I don't mind the number being high - just wondering if there are actual devices or routing etc... in the dongle. I did remove each device before adding them back, so I'd think there are the same number in the dongle as are shown in ISY device list, but I'm not at all sure about any of this.

Thanks

If you run out of addresses (255) it will wrap around and start using unused address spaces, but not before then. You can end up with actual phantom devices, which you can use the failed device procedure to remove. 

As a rule of thumb, keeping your zwave network under 100, or under 50 if possible, greatly reduces congestion.
