Re: Integration with Home Assistant

If i understood correctly that HA and Z-way are integrated loosely and can be on different machines or even in different homes then it is GREAT! Architecturally i see 3 tier approach: - basic home automation kernel is ultrastable independent low latency (lower network layers mesh/associations + isol...

Delays in associations and noise source

Hello, Associations supposed to be the fastest (milliseconds) way to connect devices. It is quite a basic setup and proved to be working fine. For association, the devices should be in direct "visibility" and link test via expert mode should be green. Under these conditions, what would be ...

Re: Easy Scripting App - Documentation/Example

Probably code/js device is enough. Haven't tried them yet. Then EasyScripting will be left as pure event-driven JS mechanism, although If->Then with JS device might work the same way. I guess some wiki page at github about advance use cases above typical if-then/logical-rule/scene would be nice. upd...

Re: Easy Scripting App - Documentation/Example

I understand event triggered script, but what if i want to call my easyscript from If-Then app like a scene. Is it only possible via a dummy scene and the script subscribing to it?

Re: [Android] Habitat - Control your Z-way devices

@Aegis, wanted to say that the app is superb! Would be great if Z-wave.me replace their app with your as an official one.

Re: 4-hops limit / how to solve strategies

Thank you, Sergey. Got the point about follow controller and simple repitition - less overengineering the better. Although feedback based logic taught to be much more reliable than feedforward. I saw antenna extensions discussion here, feels bit intimidating. Is there a 'commercial' product for ante...

4-hops limit / how to solve strategies

Hello, Apparently (thanks to webinars) there is a 4 hops limit for routes, which might turn into a problem for 50m2 x 2stores homes and one controller. I have extended my network to backyard lighting with simple rule to switch on at darkness and switch off at sunrise via gateway logic. All relays ar...

Re: Associations in mixed security network

S0 thermostat associates with S1 (not sure it is a term, but one shield security from z-wave.me UI), but unsecure switch does not.

Associations in mixed security network

Hello, I got battery operated HeatIt z-temp2 thermostat to play with and want to check with community how associations work. My network is in hybrid state security wise. Some nodes are unsecure, some S2 and some first generation security. Now I want to set associations from my thermostat to binary s...
