Z-Wave.Me future (discussion)

[toeb]

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

Thanks, found it

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:

@PoltoS what other software works with the razberry board?

Does Trident IOT have an alternative software that I can change to ?

They still have Z-Way; there is no successor to Z-Way as they released 5.x.

No one here is going to be able to provide any suggestions as well, your question provides too little information. Could you switch to another home automation platform? Sure, what is a right fit to you only you would know. There are many things that can run on a Pi, other Linux systems and can use a Razberry board. If you use Windows with a UZB, then it is a different story. Back to your question provides too little information.
