Z-Wave JS (Z-Pi 7) : can't make it work!

I have many problem with the Z-Wave integration.
I bought and installed a Z-Pi 7 hat, first I can’t get the device to be added properly.

I managed to have one or two devices installed, but some other are stuck in Protocolinfo or no info no matter how long I wait or remove them and install them again (even after factory reset).

weirdly even if I get 4/5 devices properly added, they suddenly change to “Unkown manufacture/product” after a while. I can’t understand it…

second issue, they seems to add a lot of switch and sensor to home assistant but none of them are reporting the actual value.

e.g with this door sensor (open):

however when you go in Z-Wave JS UI, then on the device, “notification” the current states is reported properly


[21-113-0-Access Control-Door state] Door state

[22] Window/door is open

This doesn’t look like you are running Z-Wave JS, perhaps a different Z-Wave like the deprecated or OpenZWave ?

I’m running Z-Wave JS Driver Version: 7.1.1
Server Version: 1.4.0

Dont think that board is supported yet, as far as I know no 700 series controllers are supported.

700-series controllers work just fine.
