So I’ve been using HA since the 0.70’s and have had some Z Wave devices (Aeotec stuff) since then.
Recently I’ve been adding some new devices and noticed that HA has quite a few outdated or what appear to be duplicate entities and some unavailable entities for some devices. I’m also having an issue with one of my new devices, as well as an Unknown Node that seems to be an old duplicate (which I can’t seem to remove).
Basically I’d like to clean things up.
I’m wondering if it would be easier to;
- Reset my entire ZWave network and re-add all (6) devices, then do a fresh HA install (new Docker container) to reset all the entities. (My HA install isn’t particularly complicated, and I use NodeRed for most the Automations, so updating the entities Id’s there wouldn’t be that painful if required)
- Use another tool (Docker container of ozwcp or any other suggestions? Paid is OK if it works. Z-Seer+ looks promising but seems to require a full Home Seer install?) To manage the ZWave network and try to clean it up. the HA UI for ZWave management is confusing to me, since there seems to be a mismatch between devices and entities and what I see in the zwave config xml file. This probably still involves a new HA instance afterwards.
- Wait. Read a few threads here about up coming HA ZWave integration changes that will support the latest version of OpenZwave. Maybe that’s a better time to do this. Though that could be a while away.
Any advice or suggestions welcome. Cheers.
