I am learning more from the people here than I will be able to remember.
In addition to being educated on HE, my retired brain decided that wasn’t enough load so I am also fussing with RTL-SDR. Then I picked up a Radio Shack digital trunking scanner and put the wrong type of antenna on the house (too cold to get up there and swap it out)
You will need the stick to pair them without s0 security if they are the 500 series version of the sensor. With the 700 series, you can simply click SKIP when prompted for s2 security.
Ordered a z stick from The Smartest House. Got an email confirmation. Then another email saying the order was canceled. So I order it again, get an email confirmation, then another email saying the order was canceled. Same thing happened the third time. Emailed zooz asking what is the issue. No reply and it’s been 8 hours.
I need this z stick for the WAF.
My bank shows 3 pending charges from The Smartest House.
You wouldn't be charged for an order that hasn't physically shipped. Any pending charge like that should disappear from your account summary within a few days and it will never be posted. If the order is showing as cancelled, it might have been flagged by the automatic fraud system we're not able to override unfortunately.
Ok this is very frustrating. The first three attempts were using my debit card that has zero issues. So I pay with Google Pay. Same card info. Google pay accepted at other online retailers.Google accepted the payment.
Just got an email saying from The Smartest House this order was canceled.
There is definitely an issue with your fraud detection software when it flags Google Pay.
Didn’t realize this was a multi -step procedure. The manual for the Z Stick more or less says plug and go. Had to register on Silicon Labs, download, install, and stumble around in Simplicity Studio. PC Controller recognizes the Z stick. I was able to pair a Zooz 4 in 1 sensor to the Z stick. Now I’m stuck. Is there a tutorial about this? How do I pair the Z stick to HE? Most everything I read is directed at people who are more intelligent about this than I.
Tuya repeaters received, included, and Centralite plugs removed physically and in the app. Your instructions helped immensely compared to the Chinese translations combined with small fonts.
Need to wait for the ZigBee mesh to settle in.
The Zooz Z-Stick is in the queue, along with my other ‘projects’
Good news. The tuya ZigBee repeaters arrived and paired easily thanks to @aaiyar for the tutorial on setting them up.
The Zooz Z-Stick is connected and all 4 of the Zooz 4-in-1 sensors are paired with no security. Noticed there are several devices in the Z-Wave details with S0 and S2 security, so they will be excluded from the HE hub and included with the Z-Stick. Thanks to @rlithgow1 for steering me to the Z-Stick tutorial written by @danabw and @erktrek.
I definitely learned a lot from this. Thanks to everyone
