Bridge Controller became Static Controller after upgrade

Post by brianaker »

Hi!

I have a RaZberry 7 Pro, which I upgraded the firmware on after installing 3.2.3. Before the upgrade, it was reporting itself as a "Bridge Controller", but now it is saying it is a static controller:

Library Type: Static Controller
SDK Version: 7.17.00
Serial API Version: 07.13

Looking at the firmware explorer, are there two different branches? If so, is there a way to switch the Pro back to being a bridge controller?

Thanks!

It is possible to switch it back at any time: /JS/Run/zway.ZMESerialAPIOptionsStaticAPISet(false)

(search it here: https://z-wave.me/manual/z-way/Function ... rence.html#)

Z-Way automatically turns it into Static mode on every boot, so turn off Z-Way and then (unpower first!) unplug the ReZberry 7 after switching to Bridge.

What is "normal"? ;)

Z-Way uses Static mode, OpenZWave, OpenHAB and others too. Some newer SiLabs based s/w uses Bridge mode
