Everspring SA370-2 700 Series Z-Wave Plus Controller

Configuration Z-Wave

Does anyone have any insight as to whether I might be able to get this work with HA on ODROID Blue running Z-Wave JS, and how???

I am currently using a RaZberry daughter card on a Pi-3B+ via TCP connection.
It currently has the required length of wire for it sticking out of the Raspberry which mostly works; I have a proper external antenna for it that I’ve not installed as I need to add the connector on the daughter card. I’ve procrastinated since I also have a newer RaZberry2 but it needs the same connector added, and network re-setup!. I was sent this Everspring dongle but I gave up trying to get it to work with OZW.

I am also now looking at the much newer RaZberry 7 Pro…

Or should I just look at a stick for the 'droid like the Zooz 700 Series Z-Wave Plus S2 USB Stick?

I plugged the Everspring into the 'droid but ha hardware info did not change. :frowning:

It will work fine, the Everspring stick is nearly identical to the Zooz. They use the same Z-Wave 700-series chipset.

Did you connect it with a USB extension cord? I believe the ODROID Blue has a problem with the case that can prevent some USB devices from seating properly.

I was sent this Everspring dongle but I gave up trying to get it to work with OZW.

OZW never supported 700-series sticks…

What would I be looking for in ha hardware info? a new/additional serial port??

Aha! my 4" extension cable did the trick!!

➜  / ha hardware info|grep "by_id: /dev/serial"
  by_id: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller-if00-port0
  by_id: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller_D-if00-port0
  by_id: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
  by_id: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_749edf475359ea11bd2377105af1e32e-if00-port0

Now the real fun begins!!

If you’re using HAOS, it should be auto-discovered in the “Devices & Services” settings, where you install integrations.

Usually the path is /dev/ttyUSB0, and you would use the /dev/serial/by-id/XXX symlink.

The Razberry 7 Pro is interesting since it has a built-in antenna connector.

6

It would be /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_749edf475359ea11bd2377105af1e32e-if00-port0.

Yes, I very much like the idea of an external antenna!

Yep! I deduced that!!! Thanks!

I do not see anything new in Devices & Services…

Or would I need to remove Z-Wave JS and start over?
Will I need the Z-Wave JS Add-on?
Current setup is using Z-Wave JS 2 MQTT. (w/MQTT disabled)…

You can use zwavejs2mqtt.

11

Hmmm. Having trouble. I stopped the ZWJS2M add-on, installed the ZWJS add-on but adding the the ZW integration gives me this:

No change to be done here then…

I’m not really sure what you’re attempting to do. You want to switch from zwavejs2mqtt to the official add-on?

13

Understood! It can often be impossible to determine what someone wants to do!
I just want to change from RaZberry on Pi to this new Everspring dongle in the 'droid.
It looks like ZW2MQTT will work if I change the adapter in here?

Or would you completely change to the official add-on ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ?

Before I go any further, let me make a full backup!!!

Ah, so you are currently using zwavejs2mqtt with the RaZberry.

If you want to switch completely over to the new stick, I would try and do an NVM backup and restore. Make the backup in z2m, then reconfigure it using the path of the USB stick. Restore the NVM, then restart the add-on. If all goes well, everything will be the same.

If you want to use both controllers at the same time, you’d either need to use the official add-on with the new stick, or put it on a different computer. You can’t run two instances of the same add-on (e.g. two zwavejs2mqtt) AFAIK.

16

I didn’t notice this at first. You have a lot of alternative install methods if you don’t go the add-on route. Depends on what your goal is.

17

I went the NVM backup/restore and after restarting z2m add-on:

Click the link and follow the instructions.

I’ve got bigger problems at the moment! My PC lovelace and HA mobile app are whacked…the app does not reflect what I see in my PC browser…it says entities unavailable but they show in the PC browser but most are not responding… for instance, this Aeotec multisensor for downstairs motion now shows just a binary switch “any” rather than motion…

This sensor is not connected to anything…

The device class seems to be wrong…

I deleted zwjs integration, restarted HA, deleted all deletable entities and then allowed HA to add the discovered zwjs integration. I then edited this one entity to match what it was before using the new show as… motion.

Fortunately I only have 24 zwave devices and not 124!!!
