Z-Wave graph (without the python)

Full reboot of system (not just restart HA) seemed to fix it.

Installed it, works like a charm, but i get these error messages in hundreds in the log “https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/svg-pan-zoom.min.js:0:0 Script error”.
Anyone with an idea on why?

Would be awesome if this could be added via HACS

Unfortunately HACS has no way of installing custom panels

…but if we install the panel manually can’t HACS be used to keep the html file updated from GitHub?

AdamNaj · January 6, 2020, 2:06pm

That’s the problem… as far as I know HACS requires things to be installed in specific directories, either /config/custom_components or /config/www/community, whereas custom panels need to go to /config/panels, since all you provide to HASS in the config is the file name of the panel (without path) - which HACS does not support at the current time.

You guys can submit a feature request on the github page for HACS

EDIT: Already find out how to link them… Switch as lifeline and add the sensor to it.

I see some unconnected devices. How can I connect them?
All devices are working normal

Battery powered Z-wave devices do not maintain a constant connection to the mesh, primarily to prolong the life of said batteries. This is normal.

Just chiming in so everyone is aware - in reality (more so with zwave+ devices) this graph is only showing around 1/3 of the picture as far as routing goes in a network. There are several features of the network that Zwave does not expose (or its exposed in other ways than just the neighbor list) - nodes may communicate via paths that are not present and having or not having a link between nodes and a controller in reality means nothing.

When HA can start using OZW 1.6 you will start seeing “extended” statistics that describe how a “packet” went from node to node. (But it requires a “recent” firmware on your controller) and from that you can really diagnose Zwave RF issues.

A general rule of thumb I have right now - anything with a RTT above say 150ms has issues with placement or RF interference. Looking at the neighbor list is not conclusive to why tho.

This is great information. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone know where I can find an updated firmware for my Aeotec Gen 5 Z-Stick?

sparkydave · January 14, 2020, 8:50pm

According to this, there hasn’t been a firmware update for over a year

AdamNaj · January 14, 2020, 9:43pm

Great info! Looking forward to 1.6!

daphatty · January 15, 2020, 7:57pm

I read that to mean there hadn’t ever been a firmware update. It’s ironic that a standard which touts “firmware updates” as a selling point doesn’t actually issue any updates.

firstof9 · January 15, 2020, 8:48pm

On the flip side… if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

sparkydave · January 15, 2020, 8:51pm

You beat me to it! I was thinking the same thing. My Aeotec Gen 5 stick has been working perfectly for about 2 years now without any firmware update. I guess it doesn’t need one

dgaust · January 15, 2020, 8:59pm

Fibaro do consistent firmare updates… unfortunately, you can only update the firmware if you use their controllers.

firstof9 · January 15, 2020, 9:16pm

Thanks for the warning, I’ll stay away from their devices then

dinth · January 17, 2020, 11:51am

I must disagree about Fibaro. I’ve got loads of Fibaro devices, recently I bought Fibaro HC just to update all my devices, only to find that only a couple had updates available.

Really awesome custom panel, thanks for this! I haven’t had time to check the source fully but was wondering if it would be possible to use the home assistant areas instead of the zwave (zwcfg) based locations?
