Looking for independent Z-Wave network management software

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I migrated to the new openzwave integration a while back and can now see and control all my devices and entities, thanks to 0.116.0b4. However, there is a piece of functionality missing from the underlying ozw-admin module that is built into the addon: the ability to see and manipulate assocations. (This has been raised as an issue, but as @fishwaldo is busy elsewhere, there is unlikely to be any progress resolving this in the immediate future).

I have a z-wave thermostat and a z-wave switch in my “shack”. Previously, the thermostat controlled the switch directly via an assocation. All I needed to do from HA was adjust the thermostat’s setpoint. That assocation has stopped working and the absence of functionality in ozw-admin prevents me debugging why.

So, assuming I plug the AEOTEC GEN 5 Z-Stick into something else is there any independent software I can install (on a Mac/PC/Linux box) that I can use to control the Zwave network?

You could go and try to make z-way a secondary controller in your network. z-way have very mature troubleshooting capabilities.

I know @rafale77 is a very motivated promoter of it and also has high knowledge on zwave.

more “start-info” here:

Note: I am not saying this will work, but it is definitely an answer to your question in getting more information about your zwave network.

For now you could use the addassociation MQTT command. Examples have been posted here. You could view associations with MQTT Explorer.
