To expand on what @scottgu3 said, I believe Zooz devices are intentionally factory reset when the firmware is updated (@agnes.zooz - correct me if I'm incorrect on this).
Failure to exclude an updated z-wave device before re-pairing it to the controller can create a stranded z-wave device. The nightly hub clean-up is supposed to remove such devices, but did not do so for my HE, with the negative consequences that I have detailed earlier in this thread.
This is recommended best practice for all Z-Wave devices actually. Depending on what's contained in the update and how much it affects the initial association to the hub, a given device may not behave correctly after the update so that's why we recommend a reset after any update. That being said, we have many users who were able to update their devices without the need to reset or exclude them from the hub if the update contained just a few minor changes in the advanced settings for example.
Excellent news. I think as a matter of general policy, it's a good idea to hit "configure" after changing a driver. In this case, even though you went from the Inovelli Driver to the Firmware driver, and back to the Inovelli driver, it doesn't hurt run configure, just to make sure everything is synched up. Refresh might do it as well since you are still using the same device, but I couldn't say for sure.
One more thing.. The binary updater has a bug with some hex files that include bootloaders and have to be 0 filled.. Until I have time to look at this use the original version for those specific files.. Binary version works for hex (without bootloader), otz, gbl, and bin
I am getting "Please wake up your sleepy device" message for an Inovelli Black On/Off switch (LZW30). I am trying to flash the beta firmware found below
