A seemingly well-worn topic but the z-wave firmware update button's purpose is not free from doubt

You know I saw that Optional Z-Wave firmware note but I never had a clue how to "opt" to get it. :smile:
I guess that's why I still had the mysterious Firmware Update button...

Although this specific issue may just be transitory or impact a small percentage of users, I do believe that newcomers from other platforms or those completely new to home automation would benefit more from the efforts put into the new documentation repository if they can easily find relevant information specific to their issue right from the page they're on. I think that is what Hubitat is attempting to do with the new documentation at least to a certain degree - maybe...

I'm close enough to a newcomer to remember how empowering it was/is to locate really good information that is on point to build a bit of baseline knowledge to either figure it out or at least to more confidently reach out for assistance here in the community. Alternatively, when eyes are glazed over trying to figure out why something won't work and the links found are not instructive to the issue it can cause frustration and potentially could cause hands to be thrown up in defeat.

My perspective likely isn't the same as that of the plurality of members here so I'm just trying to provide some feedback. That's all it is. Maybe it's not even worth a conversation. idk.

Happy Friday
