I seem to have resolved this issue, it appears that the z-stick had hung itself.
I tried to re optimize the all devices last night, only to find that move devices had become unresponsive (No acknowledgement) this morning, which resulted in a number of failed triggers & schedules. I removed the -stick from my mini mac and reinserted it after a brief pause, which seemed to correct everything, unresponsive devices are now responding and al the Multi sensor 6's are updating the various fields (temperature, humidity, illuminance), which is great.
On reflection, I recently had a switch device that was not communicate status to Indigo when manually operated (turned on the switch in the room, but it remained "off" in Indigo). I removed the Z-stick from the mini mac to exclude the device using the button on the Z-stick, I then reinserted the z-stick in the mini mac to re-include the device. This was successful after a number of attempts. I suspect that the removal of the z-stick may have interfered with the connection with Indigo to caused device drop-outs.
I would be interested to hear if there is a safer way to exclude and include devices to the network. I find it extremely time consuming when trying to exclude a device from the network which is located some distance from the server (Start controller exclusion mode in Indigo, go to the device and press the relevant button to commence the exclusion process, go back to the server only to find that nothing happen, then go back to the device and start the process all over again). I find it easier to just remove the z-stick, to the device, press hold the button on the z-stick until it flashes yellow, then press the button on the device until the light on the z-stick turns blue.
