[APP] SmartStart Manager for Z-Wave (Long Range support)

Hi.

Just got me 6 ZEN04 LR's and want to sprinkle some around for house for reliability purposes, ie, some are powered off for long times (less mesh confusion upon re-power), and some "mission critical".

This thread seems like the "go to" thread for LR, correct? Or is there another? (I'll have to look, as well.)

I probably should augment my qr codes in a plastic bag approach I've used with the two LR contact sensors I have, lol, so I'll likely be using this app.

What's the best way to check firmware version on a brandy new ZEN04, since I sort of remember there's been an update? Nothing's on the box. Include as LR, check, exclude, then include as mesh if update needed?

edit: Found some LR stuff in Documentation. I should go there more often I guess, lol.
edit2: Paired with SmartStart perfectly (side note, had to stop android app and reopen to get it off the schneid). Version 2.20 is latest, 9/23, per Zooz changelog, so I'm good to go. Next stop: check out the app.

Hi Jeff.

Used the app for the first time.
Didn't read the thread, lol.
I wonder if you could take a look at my list, below.

Apparently the Hubitat app keeps putting in "package bin" for Name; I guess I can edit that in your app.

Also, what's the story with the S2 Manual Boot Mode for (the real) Package Bin (device name)? Should I change it to SmartStart LR, like the other ZSE18 (mailbox)?

Thanks.

If you are using the Android app I think I reported the issue with the duplicate names multiple times now and it has not been fixed that I know of. It just pops the name from the last device in there when you scan a new code. SmartStart used the same name/location as previously joined device for a new device - #4 by jtp10181

Must have been set to that on accident after you included it. It does not impact anything once the device is included but if you ever were to exclude it and try to include again it would be an issue. So yes, you can change it now to avoid any future confusion.

One more question, for the moment, lol:
What's with the 5 X's at the start of the DSK?
The DSK is not complete without the number, is it?
Thanks.
@jtp10181 ?

edit: Found it!

Hi Jeff.

I'm about finished with LR for now.

I wonder if you could take a look at my list, below?

The 3 ZEN34 wireless switches have security = none. I can see that. Consistant.

However one ZEN04 (House Gen Inlet 120V) also was paired with security = none
I don't understand that. All the other ZEN04 plugs paired with security = S2 Authenticated.

Thanks.

Hm, that's not supposed to be possible. LR requires S2.
Check and see what it shows on the Z-Wave details page.

I meant Z-Wave details in the hub settings.
But that does show it paired with grants of (2) which is S2 Authenticated.

My app pulls from the same endpoint as the z-wave details so I was curious to see what that shows.

Holy Crap!
On a whim, I sorted the Z-wave device details by node:
I got, maybe, 50, 50, Unknown LR devices! Sample below.
What the hell is going on??????

edit: I went to my go-to move, shutdown/power cycle, and they all went away! Got an alert for high hub load, probably just as a result of the shutdown/power cycle. Might do it again for giggles.

Hey Jeff, the shutdown/power cycle also appears to have cleared up the security thing. EVERYTHING LR is now S2 Authenticated, even the ZEN34's!

Yes both the fake ghost nodes and the security showing wrong are issues that get resolved by a shutdown or even just a reboot sometimes. Now that I think about I believe the security showing wrong was a known issue that never got fully resolved. Seems to just be best practice to restart the hub after pairing LR at the moment, until they get things worked out more.
