Black on/off switch reports as "Inovelli unknown"

I just added three more Inovelli switches to my Home Assistant config: two red on/offs and a black on/off.

The red switches came up fine as proper Inovelli Switches in Home Assistant. The black one did not, sadly. It showed up as:

“Inovelli Unknown: type=0004, id=0001”

I have the local version of openzwave and have modified the .xml file to list all the Inovelli stuff. I tried removing and re-adding the switch, and tried rebooting HA, but got the same thing.

Any idea why this might be happening?

That’s because the guide you followed is missing information. It does not have the black series switch listed (see that there is no “type=0004, id=0001” in what follows):

<Manufacturer id="031E" name="Inovelli">
	<Product type="0002" id="0001" name="LZW30-SN Switch Red Series" config="inovelli/lzw30-sn.xml"/>
	<Product type="0001" id="0001" name="LZW31-SN Dimmer Red Series" config="inovelli/lzw31-sn.xml"/>
	<Product type="0005" id="0001" name="LZW42 Multi-Color Bulb" config="inovelli/lzw42.xml"/>
	<Product type="0006" id="0001" name="LZW41 Multi-White Bulb" config="inovelli/lzw41.xml"/>
	<Product type="0007" id="0001" name="LZW40 Dimmable  Bulb" config="inovelli/lzw40.xml"/>
</Manufacturer>

Update to this (at the time of writing most current version):

<Manufacturer id="031E" name="Inovelli">
	<Product type="0002" id="0001" name="LZW30-SN Switch Red Series" config="inovelli/lzw30-sn.xml"/>
	<Product type="0004" id="0001" name="LZW30 Switch" config="inovelli/lzw30.xml"/>
	<Product type="0001" id="0001" name="LZW31-SN Dimmer Red Series" config="inovelli/lzw31-sn.xml"/>
	<Product type="0003" id="0001" name="LZW31 Dimmer" config="inovelli/lzw31.xml"/>
	<Product type="0005" id="0001" name="LZW42 Multi-Color Bulb" config="inovelli/lzw42.xml"/>
	<Product type="0006" id="0001" name="LZW41 Multi-White Bulb" config="inovelli/lzw41.xml"/>
	<Product type="0007" id="0001" name="LZW40 Dimmable  Bulb" config="inovelli/lzw40.xml"/>
	<Product type="000d" id="0001" name="LZW60 4-in-1 Sensor" config="inovelli/lzw60.xml"/>
	<Product type="000e" id="0001" name="LZW36 Fan/Light Dimmer" config="inovelli/lzw36.xml"/>
</Manufacturer>

And add the appropriate xml to your ozw inovelli config folder from their github:

Thanks, I figured it would be something like that. I did those updates, zwave removed the device, rebooted Home Assistant, and added it back in… and still got Inovelli Unknown. Is there anything else I have to clean out because it was previously paired to the system as unknown?

I went back and just copied and pasted the entire block for the manufacturer config file from the git repo and it worked. Woot.
