First @finity and @AllHailJ thanks for your responses. I got started today and in about 4 hours got about 1/2 my devices converted. Going to stop today and pickup where I left off tomorrow.
First I used just the zwave.js add-on from the store. Second I used a new (that I had) Aeotec Z-stick Gen 5 (not the plus version). I plugged the stick into a USB 2.0 powered hub that then plugs into a USB 2.0 port on my RPI4. I had to try to install the zwave.js add-on twice before it would recognize the Aiotec Stick.
Because I have been using Homeseer (another HA solution similar to Home Assistant) for Z-Wave and then utilized MQTT to get the commands and status values between the two, I followed the following routine.
Then start the process all over. I have completed a thermostat, a dead bolt lock, a fan control switch, a binary light switch, a dimmer switch, and door/window sensor. All seem to be working fine with two exceptions.
In my lovelace display the current temp seems to be stuck in centigrade rather than fahrenheit. See the attached pics.
I have one Jasco switch that from Lovelace button card responds correctly except when I operate the switch manually. If I click on the phone on or off the switch responds correctly and it’s status is updated correctly. However if I turn the light on or off manually via the switch the status is not updated in the Lovelace display.
I have included and configured 11 nodes so far and these are my only two issues.
I look forward to completing this tomorrow.
Chuck
