I have some questions for any Zensys Z-Wave PC Controller Gurus out there.
First off I am new to Home Assistant so bear with me if some of my questions are basic.
I ran into some issues joining my Z-wave light switches and had a lot of phantom devices with unknown/incomplete joins. I read online to install the Zensys Z-Wave PC Controller 5 software and remove them there. While I was in there I decided to try adding those troublesome devices, and wallah, it worked perfectly the first time. I then connected the USB Adapter back to the Home Assistant and it recognized them. Since I happen to have a windows surface tablet laying around, I was hoping I could just put the USB adapter in that, use the Zensys tools and go around and add all my device easily and come back, plug it into HomeAssistant and let it discover them.
My only problem with that is I don’t understand how to install my Z-wave network key that is setup in Home Assistant and do a secure join for locks and such in the Zensys software. Does anyone know how to, or if it can be done?
The adapter I have is: HUSBZB-1 Zwave/Zigbee Combo Adapter
The lights I ran into issues with come up as:
manufacturer name ACT
product name Unknown: type=4457, id=3230
One other note is that each problem child light initially seems to come in as the same name and only one light entity gets created. I find that if I rename them and restart Home Assistant then the light entities get created for the additional lights. Not sure if that helps in anyway.
Appreciate the help with this.
