#Z WAVE HOMESEER SOFTWARE#

Incorporate as many Z-NET units as you need.

Adds support for 232 Z-Wave devices per Z-NET installed.

Optimized antenna design for improved range and performance.

Z-Wave Plus certification enables wide Z-Wave compatibility.

#Z WAVE HOMESEER SOFTWARE#

Improves performance of existing systems running HS3 software.

The Z-NET is perfect for creating large, complex Z-Wave networks that can be controlled through just one interface! Its integrated antenna has also been optimized to improve wireless range.

#Z WAVE HOMESEER INSTALL#

Because the Z-NET is IP-based, you can install it almost anywhere on your property. The HomeSeer Z-NET Remote Z-Wave Interface communicates over the Internet with your existing HomeSeer HS3-based system to improve system performance. (Also note that the quote above was pre-version 0.40 of Home Assistant, and originally reflected the fact that the zwaveВ configuration used customizeВ instead of device_config IвЂ™ve modified the code in the quote so it is consistent with the current version and documentation.This is the 'Z-Wave Plus'-certified add-on module that HomeSeer fans have been waiting for.

#Z WAVE HOMESEER UPDATE#

It takes about a minute for the UI to update after the add-on switch is manually changed. I can confirm that this does work for my setup once I substitute the entity name for my kitchen light switch and add this to my configuration.yaml file. ItвЂ™s not perfect, but far from what it was before. When I use the addon switch, it updates in HA in about 60-90 seconds (even though I was thinking this would be around 30 seconds based on the config). I now have the following for my zwave configuration. If not specified then your device will not be polled. Polling_intensity (Optional): Enables polling of a value and sets the frequency of polling (0=none, 1=every time through the list, 2=every other time, etc). If you look closely at the docs, it specifically says the device wonвЂ™t be polled: From there you need to add your GE switch and specify itвЂ™s вЂњpolling_intensityвЂќ. The issue here is that вЂњpolling_intervalвЂќ appears to do nothing unless you add the customize configuration under this. The Z-wave documentation on Home Assistant needs updating to make this more clear. For example, the HomeSeer HS-WD100+ supports this feature (but itвЂ™s much more expensive). If youвЂ™re looking for switches that will report their state, make sure you specifically check for the вЂinstant updateвЂ™ feature (might be called something else). It can sometimes work due to a work around built into OpenZwave. The current GE switches sometimes look like they support instant updates, but they really donвЂ™t. The controller will never see any action. Furthermore, as was mentioned earlier in this thread, controlling the addon switch does absolutely nothing except phsyically change the state of the light. Also, press-and-hold actions do not result in this broadcast message. Unfortunately, since itвЂ™s a broadcast message, your controller needs to be one hop away from the device to receive it. This message has no information about the state of the switch, but when received, OpenZwave will query it for its current state. The reason you may see the state changes quickly is because the switch sends out a broadcast message when the switch is pressed. The GE switches do not actually support instant updates.

One of the replies explains why the behavior is happening, and further down the thread another reply clarifies how to ensure the UI stays updated at all times.

I did some searching and came across a thread in the Home Assistant community forums. This was the only place where I used the GE 12722 Z-Wave switch with the GE 12723 add-on switch because it was originally a 3-way switch with one at either end of the kitchen to control the ceiling lights. It usually showed as вЂњonвЂќ even hours after it had been turned off. This entry is part 4 of 11 in the series Creating My Smart Home.ДЄfter setting up a few Z-Wave switches from GE, I noticed that my kitchen light switch wasnвЂ™t updating in the Home Assistant web UI.
