Enhancements Added

Bug Fixes

Notes

Beta

May. 10, 2021

Fixed: The bug that the V1 version of Protection Set Command would cause RF state of Protection to become enabled. This mostly affected Home Assistant users as it is still using V1 of this command class.

Beta

Aug. 17, 2020

Optimized S2 inclusion for 700 series hubs.

Production

Date Codes:

0820

1220

0121

Jul. 14, 2020

Changed an optimization of Z-Wave exclusion during mass production. Intended for quality testing after assembly.


Beta

Jul. 06, 2020

Added the LED color, "White" when parameter 5 is set to 255.

P51 enables instant on (ie: disable the 700ms delay). Note, if you disable the delay, it will also disable scene control except for Button 1 (ie: tap up 1x or tap down 1x) and button 7 (config button). All other buttons (2-6) will be disabled.

Beta

May 01, 2020

Fixed: when a device is not on a network, a factory reset by holding down the config button for 25 seconds does not reset the configuration.

Fixed: multiple switches blink green(like they were excluded)when more than one switch is not on a z-ware network and one of those switches is excluded.

Fixed: when the load is off, setting parameter 3(auto off time) problem. Sometimes the timer would be incorrect the first time the load turned off.

Fixed: when the parameter 3 is set from non-zero to zero, it is immediately closed if the load is on.

P13 can be used in certain 3-way dumb switch setups where the load is confusing the switch as to which state it should be in. In other words, if your On/Off switch is having trouble detecting your Dumb switch, please turn on this parameter.

Beta

Apr. 16, 2020

Change the range of P11 to 0,30-32767 to prevent users from choosing a value that may flood the network.

Switch will send an energy report when first included into the network.

Since there is a "protection" that prevents the switch from sending multiple power reports (flooding) when the power is fluctuating frequently, the switch will now send a power report immediately when turned on/off and the "protection" timer will be reset.

Fixed: Energy & Power Reporting not being disabled when configuration options are set to 0.

Fixed: Power Reports flooding network when bulb power consumption fluctuates frequently.

Fixed: State sometimes not being restored properly when local protection is enabled.

Fixed: The issue of sending two Meter reports when the device is powered on.

Fixed: The issue when more than one device is associated and the switch is in S0 mode, the second device does not get commands.

Fixed: The bulb would occasionally blink once to OFF when re-powered if connected to a traditional switch.

Fixed: The parameter 7 value not being able to be set to 10 during local config mode.

Fixed: When the switch is ON and associated bulb is OFF, pressing the Aux switch UP would not turn on the associated bulb.

Fixed: When local protection is enabled, the settings for "State after power restored" did not work.

Fixed: Switch responding to Basic Set with Switch Binary Report. It now responds with a Basic Report when a Basic Set is sent and a Switch Binary Report when a Switch Binary Set is sent.
