Device serial number & zwave engine 3

[Łukasz997 117]

I changed the Z-Wave engine from version 2 to version 3. The migration went smoothly, or so it seemed. The whole system worked neither faster nor slower - from a user perspective, I did not notice any difference.

 

However, there is another change that has concerned me: after adding a device using Engine 3, the serialNumber field is empty. I checked this with an FGPB-101 button and a Motion Sensor. Both of these devices do have a unique serial number, but its value is populated into the serialNumber field only when the device is added to the system using Engine 2. I use this field extensively in DNSfD.

 

In short: Engine V3 has stopped mapping the serial number value to the serialNumber field in the HC3 API.

My question to @m.roszak is - why? And will this be fixed? This is very important for me and for my customers.

Hi,

 

Currently, when the device is added to ZW3, the serialNumber is visible only for the parent device.

The issue has been reported and forwarded to the development team for further investigation.

 

Best regards

Thanks for answer. Indeed, the sN is visible for parent, which I didn't check. I such case it will be easy to fix in DNSfD.

However, it will be good to fix it in firmware as well.
