Hello,

Z-Wave.Me controllers will continue to operate as they do today. Note that Z-Wave.Me controllers can be used with Z-Way software or they can be used with other Z-Wave software, such as zwave-js-ui, as used in Home Assistant. Transitioning from Z-Way to zwave-js-ui is straightforward - copy the S0 and S2 keys from Z-Way to zwave-js-ui and configure device names to have friendly names.
I' would like to try this... where would i find the S0 and S2 z-way keys? My current setup is using a RaZberry 7 pro

TIA

S2 keys are stored in the directory /opt/z-way-server/config/zddx in the file that ends in -DevicesData.xml. The file name begins with 8 hex digits that are unique to each network - these digits are the Z-Wave network ID (in hex).

This command should print out the keys:

Code: Select all

grep '^    <data name="S2.*binary' /opt/z-way-server/config/zddx/*-DevicesData.xml

Thanks!

If i run this command with "S0" instead of S2 i should get the legacy keys, right? If I do not find anything for S0, does it simply mean i don't have legacy devices in my network or do I need to search for another keyword?

Greetings

Substituting "S0" for "S2" will not work.

Use this command to get the S0 key (called networkKey):

Code: Select all

grep 'networkKey.*binary' /opt/z-way-server/config/zddx/*-DevicesData.xml

To avoid throwing away broken and flashing red electronic boards, I bought a Silicon Labs programmer. I was hoping to transfer the memory from a working board to a non-working one. Unfortunately, it turns out the boards have a debug access lock installed, which, if removed, erases the memory, meaning my idea is useless.
And now for the interesting part.

I could unlock debug access from the working board without any problems. However, I couldn't unlock debug access from the non-working board. I had to use the "Recover bricked device" option. Flashing new firmware onto two of my Z-Uno2 boards resulted in a "bricked device," and the only solution was to flash it through the programmer.

Can PoltoS share a file I can flash through the programmer to restore the Z-Uno2 board?
Sharing the compiled file, so without disclosing the source, I don't think it would be a big deal.


PS:
I described the problem of boards that are completely non-functional with the new firmware in these threads:
