Unique "friendly name" description for automatic ZWave USB adapter discovery in Home Assistant Z-Wave JS using dongle vendor/product IDs?

Configuration Z-Wave
1

FYI, Home Assistant developer bdraco has added support for automatically discovering USB adapter in Home Assistant’s Z-Wave JS integration, (for details read PR #54904, #54935 and #54986). See:

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/usb/

I think it would therefore be much appreciated if everyone could submit new PRs with “friendly name” as a description if you got any compatible Z-Wave USB adapters which unique Vendor ID (vid) / Product ID (pid) identifier that has not yet been added to the ZWave JS component manifest in Home Assistant core.

Note! As per discussions in #55225, #55236 and #1039, the device needs to have a unique description, so VID and PID alone are not enough.

    {"vid":"10C4","pid":"EA60","known_devices":["Aeotec Z-Stick 7", "Silicon Labs UZB-7", "Zooz ZST10 700"]}
  ]

PS: This also applies to Zigbee USB adapter discovery for the Home Assistant’s ZHA integration, see:

Make a feature request, not a configuration post. Also, please don’t cross post the same post in 2 spots. Thanks.

@petro Please check these again as my posts and not cross-posts since they separate for Zigbee and Z-Wave , nor are they really they feature requests but a suggestion to the community. They are only similar but not the same, if look you see one is specific to ZHA (Zigbee) and the other to Z-Wave JS:

It’s literally the same information with a few word changes. Just post it in 1 spot as a feature request because you’re asking for a new feature.

Then please close the other one instead as I am more active in the ZHA subforum and it needs it more

What aren’t you understanding? Make a feature request. Both should be closed because both are making a request for a new feature outside the Feature Request section.

This is not a feature request since the feature of USB discovery already exist.

What is missing is IDs that the community users (not developers) who own unique adapters need to provide.

I am asking community users to check and provide VID, PID, and descripion.

I am not asking for developers to provide new code or a new feature/function.

This is asking for the core to change. I.e. feature request.

any time you ask someone else to make a PR against the core, it’s a feature request.
