Hello, I have been using HASSIO for last 1 week or so. So Im still learning.
I have HASSIO on rPI 2B with Nortek ZWave USB controller. I added the controller through configuration.yaml and did not add a network key.
Its working fine and I have 3 lights and 1 door sensor connected to it.
Im planning to buy a Schlage ZWave lock and add it to the network. I did research and I believe the controller should be in Secure mode for that to happen. This is where it gets complicated.
When I go to Configuration of the ZWave device, it shows “ADD SECURE NODE”. But I know I didnt add any network key!
Questions (many of them, actually)
- I checked configuration.yaml and options.xml. It doesnt have a network key. So does it mean the device automatically configured itself to a Secure controller?
- If it has did it store somewhere the auto-generated network key? How do I see that?
- Assuming its not secure, here is what I think are the steps I should follow. Could you please cross-check this?
a. Remove the 3 switches from the network one by one and heal
b. Add the network key to configuration.yaml and options.xml
c. Restart the rPI so that now the Controller is secure.
d. Add the devices again.
I didnt want to screw up an existing configuration and find out I messed up the controller. Hence this post. Please help.
