How to enable Long Range Support in EU ?

Hello,
as now long range is possible in EU and because now I have some devices with long range support, I wanted to enable LR for me, but I didn't succeed.

I have Z-Way 4.1.2, Razberry 7 firmware 7.42
the Controller Info tells Z-Wave Long Range = hook
but the
Expert UI Control/ Device Management says
Topology Mode: Long Range is not supported or not enabled in your hardware

In https://z-wave.me/hardware-capabilities I entered my UUID, but nothing happens., only a page with the Hardware features opened (hook at Long Range Support).

Updated to Z-Way 4.1.4, no help.
A reboot did not help either.

What have I to do to enable?

You will need to update to a new version of Z-Way. Since Z-Way has transitioned from Z-Wave.Me to Trident IoT, upgrading to the Trident IoT version cannot be be done from the web user interface.

Run the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/tridentiot/z-way-builds/releases/download/v5.0.2/z-way-debian-bookworm-armhf-5.0.2.bookworm-1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/z-way-debian-bookworm-armhf-5.0.2.bookworm-1_armhf.deb
The Trident IoT Z-Way version supports EU Long Range which can be enabled in the expert UI. Note that devices included as LR devices are not mesh-capable. As a result, routing for your non-LR devices can be affected. The expert UI will show you if routing is healthy. If you see routing problems, you can do a Network->Reorganization.

According to the changelog, version 4.1.4 supports EU LR.
I am still hesitant to install the Trident version. Besides this, I'm still on buster.
Still hoping, that anybody knows how to enable it in the ZME version.

Thank you for the additional information. That's very helpful.
