I installed an LZW30-SN and LZW31-SN this morning. I’m running Hassio 0.107.7 with a z-stick 5. I ran into two unusual things when installing. First, I was unable to pair using HA’s Add Node button so I removed the z-stick, brought it close to the devices, paired successfully, plugged it back into the HA host, rebooted, and the devices were detected but were both of “unknown” type. I found in this forum the instructions for updating openzwave configuration, so I unpaired both switches, followed the instructions to pull in the newer config, rebooted, paired both switches again, but now I’m left in a state where both switches appear in HA, the LZW31-SN appears fully functional… I can change the level, toggle, and see the power sensors… but the LZW30-SN only has power sensors, no ability to toggle. There’s no switch entity.
When I open the device I see:
Type: LZW30-SN Switch Red Series by Inovelli
Entities:
By the time I got back to this the light entity appeared and all seems to be working again. Is that normal? I’m pretty sure I didn’t touch anything and it was fine the next day. Looking at the config, I now realize that the other Inovelli dimmer that I thought was working fine is actually missing the Inovelli specific node configuration options on the Zwave and is showing up as an unknown type in the config. Maybe I need to remove/add the device again? Thanks for your help!
This makes me think either you didn’t do the whole custom OZW config steps, or while you did it Home Assistant was still running and it over-wrote the files on you (Zwave network needs to be stopped to edit those files because it over-writes the files periodically, and can do so while you are trying to edit them. Make sure you’ve complete all the steps in this guide (step 1 should be stop Z-wave network, still missing from that guide).
If you did that, double check your manufacturer_specific.xml looks correct.
Once that is solved, I believe you can manually over-write the zwcfg_.xml for that node with the correct information, and avoid removing and adding the node, but I’m not entirely sure, so I’d suggest making a snapshot and backing it up elsewhere before attempting.
Here’s my dimmer info from that file. I think if you replace everything but correct your node ID, it should work (make sure all switch config options are set correctly to what you need, mine’s set to neutral and 3-way dumb switch)

I’m sorry to be dense here - how do I shut off my Home Assistant application when I run it as HassOS on Pi? In the words, if I shut off Home Assistant, I can’t figure out how to access the files to change them. Do I Samba in to make these OZW changes? I’ve been running with the old config just fine (including a light entity), but not being able to figure this part out has always bothered me.
Edit: Z-wave network just needs to be stopped to edit files, below may be incorrect. HA restart may be needed before any changes to edited Z-wave files are picked up.
The terminology can be confusing. HA Add-ons do not shut down when Home Assistant itself is stopped (not shut down). I personally use the Samba add-on to access the files and edit my files with Notepad++, then SSH to bring Home Assistant back up.
So once Samba is all set up and you confirm you have access, you can go to Configuration > Server Controls > Server Management > Stop. Then you can edit OZW files without risking them being over-written before you can save.
Great! To clarify for anyone finding this in the future, did you erase all the lines for the problematic nodes, or just everything within that section, leaving the lines:
I erased everything associated with that node, so the entries didn’t even exist. I forgot that I have to go back in and re-add my “COMMAND_CLASS_CENTRAL_SCENE” lines to get my scenes working with relay disabled, but that’s an easy Z-wave network stop and restart per (Home Assistant - 2nd Gen Switch RGB working!)
