Help needed with test of OpenZWave Beta 1.6

Configuration Z-Wave
9

For Clarity - 2 “issues” here:

  1. Lack of cache in the HACS addon - that was a implementation error by the HACS guys. It took longer than I would have like to get corrected, but at least on the official containers (ozwdaemon) it wasn’t a issue.
    (also - please see my response about “is it ready” here- So when is OpenZWave (OZW) version 1.6 coming to Home Assistant?

  2. Wakeup - There is no difference here between OZW 1.4 and OZW 1.6. After restarting, you have to either manually wake up a device (and thats different from triggering say motion, or opening a door, its pressing a button or doing a action in some way defined by the vendor) for OZW to get it “operational”. One of the big benefits of the new integration - When you need to restart HA, you don’t need to restart ozwdaemon (as long as the MQTT broker stays up as well - which it should) - so everything should work straight away without having todo the wakeup dance on your devices (or waiting for the wakeup interval).
