Z-Wave PC Controller App - Where?

I've done it... the driver must have been corrupt or something - I decided to remove it entirely. Re-installed (from the same package I installed it from fwiw) and then suddenly everything was working

Excellent - glad you tracked down your problem! I'm going to add info from this thread to the first post my "How To" thread just in case someone runs into something like this in the future. First time I've seen this, but you never know...

Okay. Trying Simplicity Studiio myself with the Silicon Labs 700 z-wave controller.
Cannot find z-wave tools, and thus cannot install PC Controller.

I have read above about loading the proper SDK. Where would I find that?

Based on some previous comments the installation instructions here were said to be up to date. Have you tried them?

Thanks everyone for the assistance.
I have now added the UZB device to HE, and have successfully removed 2 of 3 ghost devices.

The remaining ghost device - it has routing details. I am pretty sure it is not on the network physically, or getting power.
How can I be sure?
THe note in the guide about ensuring the device is powered off concerns me.

Couple of options...

  1. Do a hub shut down, pull power at the wall, wait 1m, then plug in, restart, and try again.

  2. If you can't directly link the ghost to an existing device, if it's possible you can kill a breaker or two to cut power to likely suspects that might be the device in question.

  3. If you have switches with an air gap, pulling the air gap on them should kill the radio for that device, at which point you can retry the removal. I know that GE/Jasco switches in particular have an air gap you can pull, not sure about others.

In addition to what @danabw said, do not confuse HEX for DEC numbers.

Chiming in with a resolution following similar struggles and resolution that worked for me in case anyone else is having issues in Windows 11. I couldn't get the login screen to work with Simplicity Studio (I gave up on studio 6 and reverted to studio 5 because of total redesign and lack of documentation). I tried adding the 2 lines of code appended to the end of studio.ini to no avail.
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=NUL
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=Windows-ROOT

Rather, the solution that worked for me was to go to program files, right click the silicon labs folder go to properties - and under security - allow full control. After that I restarted and the login screen worked. Maybe this will save someone else a couple hours of frustration :wink:
