I’m stumped. You could carefully edit the xml file in home-assistant’s directory using a text editor. If you havn’t done much of this, I would make a backup of the file first.
We learn through pain. Glad you found it.
Here’s the hack I’m using to rename my zwave switches (to remove the trailing _123 bit):
I am seeing a similar behavior.
I am using an Aeotec ZW090 Z-Stick Gen5 stick and the Fibaro FGBS001 Universal Binary Sensor on Hassbian 0.40.0. There is just one zwcfg_ID.xml in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant and a symbolic link in /srv/hass/src/open-zwave-control-panel points to that file. The xml only shows on instance of FGBS001 Universal Binary Sensor :
(So does OZWCP btw).
But I do see two instances in Home Assistant:
So where does the second one (binary_sensor.BLA_sensor_2_0_2) come from and how to get rid of it?
TIA
Try to get in the habit of using all the correct parts of the find command… it will save a lot of time some day.
find / -name “zwcfg*.xml” -print
When using wildcards like * and ? , if you dont doublequote it, you may hit shell expansion, and get interesting results. Also, without the -print, it may find the file and not tell you, unless you are checking the return code of the find command…
Yeah, old school, but ask me how I know…

Hi all,
How to install OZWCP now that 0.45.1 of HA is out and it builds Open Zwave upon install (so we no longer install Open Zwave libs separately). What is a new procedure for installing OZWCP?
I don’t think OZWCP comes pre-installed with new release 0.45.
With the new Z-Wave control panel built in to HA can do much of what you can do with OZWCP, including renaming devices. It’s worth checking that out to see if it covers all you’re looking for.

Indeed, can rename devices… No need to install anything.
Just don’t forget to make backups of the zwave xml file. if it breaks, you have to rename them all again. Happened twice to me already, but maybe i was asking to much of it
