I am often seeing red Exclamations on many of my devices.

Thanks!
You probably inadvertently turned on audit for node id 3. You can double click the device to turn it off.
As far as the red "!" - what is the message you see? If it's about a BASICGET command failing, it's likely a range problem, though probably isn't very serious and can be ignored. If you get it while sending a command like BASIC_SET, then you may try to heal your network.
Two devices are complaining about basic_get. Three others are complaining of "Device did not respond to 10 consecutive poll attempts".
I assume both of those conditions are distance related because all of the affected devices are some distance from the controller.
However in the case of the three failing to respond to polling, there are 5 z-wave devices in a 12' x 12' building but only three of them complain. Shouldn't the mesh take care of that?
But this does raise a question.
I am trying to include 4 buildings in my z-wave network. Is there any way to extend the range of a z-wave network? I am specifically wondering about ethernet options. I have searched on the Internet, and since apparently there aren't any z-wave to ethernet bridges, is there a way to utilize a second z-stick on a network connected PC to relay z-wave commands?
Another option I am thinking about would be to use a parabolic reflector behind a z-wave device to provide some antenna gain to the signal and perhaps extend the range. Are you aware of anyone trying this?
You could try to double-click the device and check the "Smart Route Polls" option. Note that with this selected, if a device is outside the range and cannot be reached, it can possibly degrade your performance. On the other hand, if the mesh is setup properly, it'll help it route to your target device.
Also, be sure to run a heal network, as that'll sometimes help fill in the holes for devices that were added further away.
As for beefing the network up, you can try a z-wave repeater. In theory though, adding a new device is supposed to perform a similar function; it's possible though that the repeater can boost the signal.
