Alright, I stuck with the HA Connect ZWA-2. Much better product and it integrates so well with HAOS. Great product!

It is possible the Z-Wave USB dongle has serious interference issues where it is sticking just outside my giant metal network rack.

My rack is also in the basement and the window well is covered with a metal grate so creatures of all kinds don't fall into the well.

I'm going to try moving the dongle itself with a USB extension, and I also bought the HA Connect ZWA-2 to see if that thing works better.

I'm having major Z-Wave reliability issues with Homeassistant, though my ZigBee stuff has worked flawlessly, so it's not really an HA issue.

My combo is:

Raspberry Pi 4 + HAOS
Z-WaveJS Extension
HomeSeer SmartStick G8 v2 800 Series
Minston Z-Wave Smart Plug with Power Monitor

I want a water #LeakDetector that has some simple features. But no one seems to make it.

1) Local alert (buzz) - If my #SmartHome home goes down, the sensor should still be useful
2) Wall power with battery backup - Changing batteries is ridiculous
3) Works via #ZWave - Mesh network + bonding!

That’s my early Saint Nicholas Day presents =) Time to migrate!

It seems the time has come to get a ZWave adapter for my Homeassistant setup. I can only seem to find outdoor power monitor plugs in ZWave flavor and not in the Zigbee flavor.

If any of you have a recommended Zigbee outdoor power monitor plug that can be used in the US, hit me up!

Every year around this time I get a reminder about why I made an effort to get rid of ZWave in favor of ZigBee. All my outdoor plugs which are based on ZWave lose their minds, and it takes thirty minutes of trial and error until I can get them paired again. The ZigBee and WiFi plugs, on the other hand, just work literally out of the box.

I received this sticker in my delivery of Zooz Z-wave devices this week and, well, I love it! Though I will say, we’ve been running Home Assistant for years now and it’s been rock solid.

Migrated my zwave network today to the HA ZWA-2. Current setup was using zwave-js-ui and the zooz zst39. This was even easier than the zigbee migration. Probably because of the hardware I was migrating from. Stopped the zwave device, and then backed up the nvm, switched the device, restored the nvm to the new device, rebuilt routes and all was back up. Took about 15 minutes or so.

This weekends projects. Ordered the Home Assistant ZBT-2 and ZWA-2 from Apollo Automation. They handle shipping in Canada. Came the next day. Love it.

if you‘re going to use #zigbee #zwave or #matter/ #thread at #39c3 I‘d love to talk to you. If I get there I may be tinkering with the above for communication purposes.

#BoostsWelcome #reticulum

NextNav, Inc. plays the #China Card with the help of the goose-steppers at the #WashingtonExaminer and the rabidly nationalistic #BullMooseProject in their attempt to seize the unlicensed 900 MHz ISM radio band for their own product.

This would likely destroy #ZWave, interfere with highway toll readers nationwide, and render useless countless home security systems, garage door openers, and thousands of other RF consumer products.

Once ESPHome 2025.10 is released I’ll put a yaml and flashable binaries up on https://tube0013.github.io/TubesZB-ESPHome-Builder/ for the TubesZB Z-Wave and Dual Radio kits. It will be a breaking change as you will need to update the device path in zwave-js ui. #homeassistant #zwave https://fosstodon.org/@homeassistant/115368397463400875

When we launched the Connect ZWA-2, one point of feedback was clear: people want flexibility in where they could place it. Message received. 😎
