Z-Wave Plus

[Mike Yeager]

This is probably a question that has been asked but I didn't see it. Does Razberry support any of the Z-Wave Plus stuff? I don't see a lot of it out there yet but I'd hate to grab a device and not be able to use it...

Yes, the new gen 5 RaZberry fully supports Z-Wave Plus.
Old gen 3 RaZberry partially supports it (shorter distance, no power level tests) with 2.0 software.

How do I know wgat version of the Razberry I have and by 2.0 software I am assuming you are referring to the software that runs on the RPi.

Amazon is dumping the old stuff still, only buy if the description say version 5.

A couple of days ago I bought from Amazon the razberry card and in its description was not reported the item version.
When the card will arrive, how can I check if it is version 5?

I read what pz1 wrote (the link posted doesn't work for me), but I didn't understand what to do since I'm new to Z-wave technology and to this forum. Be patient with me

I only works if you have

• Physically installed the RaZberry or UZB1
• Installed Z-Wave binding via the HA user Interface

[RottenMutt]

you have to build your Pi, download and install the image and on your sd card. when you first boot, do plug it into a monitor and keyboard as it will display your Pi's ip address on your lan. the default user is Pi, and password is raspberry. update the distribution with apt-get do upgrade and update, then update the zwave software.

the link provided above is the ip address of you Pi.

here is the image and software info...

I got my RaZberry card and I am confident that it mounts the new wave transceiver "Sigma Design ZM5202" as reported on the specification data shit.
