3.2.1 and devices that don't need to be displayed in HomeKit

[LenMaroko]

THANKS!

Managed to install 3.2.1 with the help of command
sudo apt --fix-broken install (some Mosquito disturbing)

My complaints regarding 3.2.0 and "Devices that don't need to be displayed in HomeKit" is heard and is now fixed

BUT in order to use it I have to remove the bridge in the Home App and RENAME the "Name as it appears in iOS devices" to a new every time. Otherwise the Home App "Add new device" does not find Z-way when searching. (can't replicate this behavior )

Also removed and reinstalled the Apple HomeKit Gate (please also note new Apple HomeKit Pin), restarted the RPi4B with the command SUDO REBOOT.

But more Happy now!
Great!

Thanks to PoltoS & Co

Where did you get 3.2.1? I don't see it in what I think is the official repo: https://repo.z-wave.me/z-way/raspbian/p ... ay-server/

[LenMaroko]

Not yet a good idea to install the test version of 3.2.1

[xurg]

Agreed. FWIW, I think in a way 3.2.0 is also a test version, there hasn't been made an official announcement yet as far as I can see. But that's what we're here for, right?

[PoltoS]

@xurg It is here https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/

Please check all critical issues with v3.2.0 are gone. We are collecting early adopters feedback before doing a final release.

Just about every accessory doesn’t require another app other than for initial setup purposes. After setup, you can delete the manufacturer’s app. Their app sometimes has more features included than the regular Home app, but it isn’t a required download to keep after the setup process.

[LenMaroko]

Not used any manufacturer app at all! Only Z-Way!

Good night and good bye !
