HeatIt Z Water configuration

Hi all,

I’m new to both Home Assistant and Z Wave.

I’ve recently tried to get a Z Wave network up and running using Home Assistant OS on an RPi4, using an Aeotec Gen5 stick as a controller. After some initial setup hassles, I’ve managed to get the Z Wave network up and running, using the MQTT broker/OpenZWave(beta) 0.8.0 add-ons. So far so good.

Now I’ve also bought a device called “HeatIt Z Water” ( https://www.heatit.com/heating-control/water-based-heating/hatit-z-water/ or docs at: https://www.thermo-floor.no/media/multicase/documents/_tfasdokumentasjon/heatit%20controls/heatit%20z-water/manual_heatit_z-water_analog%20inputs_fw%202.1_ver2019-a_eng.pdf )

This unit contains 10 internal relays, to control floor heating. Now, I can add this unit to the network just fine, however, the unit only shows up as one binary switch instead of 10.

Through some help on the HA Discord, I’ve managed to find and extract the ozwcache.xml settings, and they look like this:

Now, one can see that a number of endpoints are discovered on the device, however, they do not show up under <CommandClass id="37" name="COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY">. How can I get them to show up there? Does anyone know?

Did you make any progress on this? I’m considering the same controller (Z-water)

I actually did, forgot to update this.

I only run use the relays, and not the thermostat input, but adding the unit using OZW 0.8 and NOT adding it as a secure node, made all the relays appear. So it’s been working for a month without any problems.

NOTE: This was without changing any of the config files.
