z-wave engine 3

[Eufi 4]

Hi, you mentioned:

Update 5.080 includes a new version of the Z-Wave software (called Z-Wave 3.0). This version features expanded default device support, the ability to add products using Smart Start technology and many other changes. Please note that this is a beta version engine and its compatibility will be developed with further updates - not all Z-Wave devices are fully supported.

ATTENTION - installing version 5.080 does not automatically change the existing Z-Wave 2.0 software to 3.0. In order to run version 3.0, it is necessary to restore the gateway to factory settings, requiring the system to be configured from scratch. In future updates we will work on extended device support and provide a mechanism to migrate your current system configuration to the new Z-Wave engine.

After my update, all my devices have version 3 automatically! Is that ok or a problem?

How do you know that you are on version 3?

Here you can see it under Advanced tab or what does Z-Wave type 3 means

That means something else.

Indeed:

 

1    Static Controller
2    Portable Controller
3    Enhanced Routing Slave
4    Slave
5    Installer
6    Basic Routing Slave
7    Bridge Controller
8    Device Under Test (DUT)
9    N/A
10    AV Remote
11    AV Device

 

You'll mostly find "3    Enhanced Routing Slave" unless your network is older than 10 years...

 

An interesting device is the old Aeotec Minimote (remote controller with rechargeable battery), it is a "2    Portable Controller" which means it runs a copy of your main controller's routing table and functions.

 

This information is largely academic, for nerds like me ?

@tinman knows.

almost complete list ... don't care about the z-wave library types (which are these numbers), because some devices simply does report wrong type (most cases not certified devices)

 

What Fibaro z-wave engine is running on your HC? well, when you see "smart start" under point 16. Z-Wave

then you are running engine v3

 

For some reason might be useful (in QAs which e.g. does change parameters dynamically) to ask via API,

 

local zwversion = api.get('/settings/info')['zwaveEngineVersion']

 

because the z-wave engine API calls are different
