We just moved into a new house and I want to join all the switches. Prior to installation I provisioned them all by scanning the bardcode. What I thought I could do was goto each switch, include, it would pop up in Zwave JS. From there I would do the initial name which would push it to HA with the same name. That isn’t what is happening. I’m having to name them separately in both Zwave JS and HA. What am I doing wrong? I know it’s by design the names can be changed independently, but I thought on first inclusion I could follow this method to only have to name the device once within Zwave JS. Please advise on the best process here. If this isn’t supported I’ll just carry forward with naming in both locations, but I’m hoping there is a solution?
When you setup a name using Z-Wave JS UI it automatically gets setup in the home assistant integration.
Any name you setup in Home Assistant doesn’t carry over to Z-Wave JS UI.
To migrate your names over you should follow this guide. Copying device names into Z-Wave JS UI - #2 by freshcoast
That’s exactly what I needed as I didn’t want to spend a ton of time naming in both location, but do want to keep the names in both locations. thank you.
