Your device pairings are stored on your stick so no worries, you won’t have to recreate your mesh.
Thx, gr8, sounds good
I’ll have to wait for the lock and cover domains before I could really test this out 
I’ve struggled with z-wave for a while and recently just wiped the stick. Is there a way currently to add devices to the stick?
sorry not a developer, is this integrated in 105? if yes could it be the cause that makes 30% of my z-wave devices changed to “unavailable”? Now rolled back to 104,everything is ok again.
No, it’s not integrated yet, when that happens it’ll be very clearly announced.

Yes, you add devices to the stick/HA just as you always did.
So if I’m correct this will work more or less the same as zwave2mqtt together with their hass integration via Mqtt?
The problem people are facing now is that the zwave controller restarts when home assistant is restarted. Will this problem be gone with this new integration ? Is the qt-openzwave running as add-on?
That’s not really a problem.
It runs in a separate docker container from what I read.
Both the new methods (According to FishWaldo) will have z wave running in it’s own docker (probably the same one for both) and these will NOT be restarted when HA restarts (But will when you reboot, obviously)
The difference will be how HA communicates with this z wave docker, there may be an additional layer in the MQTT version, but this will allow consistency for current users of MQTT.
For ‘some’ reason the ‘feel’ is that the MQTT version ‘may’ be first out of the gate. But don’t put money on it either way.
Hi!
I have the “beta version” op and running.
As of today - i can see the Aeotec Siren 6 - all the sensors.
I am however - still not able to make it “ring” from inside HA - and it’s not “fully” detected as an aeotech device yet.
But progress

Correct, at this time we’ve only implemented the most basic stuff like (binary) sensors, switches and lights. That part is actually pretty stable already and we’re now moving on into getting the other devicetypes integrated. As the foundation is solid, that should go pretty fast next couple of weeks. Check Github to see our progress and help us with submitting your own mqtt dump of devices.
Hi Marcel.
I can see the pace is fast 
aeotec3|690x170
As of now - the devices seems fully discovered - and all the sensors are working.
it works stable.
So looking forward to the next step.
i will keep updating to the newest version released.

Is there any way for the non-hassio ( 
) users who run HA in Docker to easily get the OpenZWave daemon? Is there a Docker image already set up for it outside of the add-on?

Is there any way of seeing what the network contains? I can see in the mqtt messages that I have a node 1 and 2, but no other info, and I don’t have any entities in the integration.
I would really like to just reset everything and start over, but I don’t know if the messages are retained and that’s what I’m seeing.
edit: As a second thought I think I could disable this, start up the regular z-wave and check there maybe?

I removed everything and reconfigured from the beginning instead, and now I do see a sensor in the integration! However when I try to add another one I can see in the mqtt that it is discovered but it’s not present in the integration and it’s not showing the same information in the mqtt message as the first one (both are aeotec door/window sensors). Am I missing something maybe? Restart required?
How do you pair & manage new Z-Wave devices using this method?

Hi,
Maybe I am late to the party by we have been working on an integration using Z/IP Gateway from SiLabs rather than OpenZWave. Using this approach it may be possible to use more advanced Z-Wave features not yet available in OpenZWave such as S2 and SmartStart. This solution could also be certifiable since Z-Wave alliance only allows using Z/IP gateway rather than direct access to the Z-Wave chip.
The project is available here:
If anyone is interested in helping out integrating this into Home Assistant, please contact me.

Pyzwave looks like an official and much better way to integrate Z-Wave. It would be able to support all current features lacking today and all upcoming features.

Can someone point me to a thread about what is going on with z-wave? All of the newer builds leave my 30+ nodes unavailable. I rolled back to 103.6 and some nodes work sometimes. This is really a bummer as z-wave has been stable for so long.
