How to update Z-Stick 7 firmware on Mac
There's also the Z-Wave JS command-line flash utility (same code used by ZUI). Still requires node.js, but easier than installing ZUI, if the latter is not in your plans. https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/tree/master/packages/flash

(NEW) Z-Wave Dimmer With a Knob
First, it's not in the ZWaveJS database yet, so I can't reconfigure anything for it (via Home Assistant). The dimmer/on/off all work, but I'm unable to change the device settings (like dim time, scene triggers, etc). I've opened a request about it, but have no idea what that time frame looks like. I've pinged the company about this and they're going to look into it.

Linus Tech Tips - I’ll MAKE it fit! January 31, 2023 at 02:44PM
Responding to a merch message related to Z-Wave problems. If they are using a 700 series stick then that is your network problem. You'll need to update the firmware to fix it https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/issues/3906

Scene controllers
Be careful using RGBGenie z-wave stuff. I have one of their touch panels, and it doesn't work in Home Assistant with zwave-js. Likely never will unless RGB Genie releases a firmware update for it. It works fine in Hubitat though, where a custom driver was written.

Zwave-JS NodeJS script/commands to join SiLabs UZB-7 controller to existing hub as secondary controller
The Z-Wave JS author is on Reddit sometimes, so maybe he'll see this, but you'd get a better answer on GitHub. https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/discussions

2Gig Go Control GC2
I checked the zwavejs device database, and it looks like the device doesn't have anything configured.

Aeotec Z-Stick 7 - How do I tell if I have the latest firmware?
I just checked this thread - not sure if Aeotec has a different firmware then the 700 series zooz, but looks like the new firmware is markedly better but still has some issues as of 10 days ago: https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/issues/3906

I've been streaming hardware driver development using node. If you've ever wondered what's involved when talking to hardware, but were put off by needing to know C or kernel internals, you might enjoy this
I second this - I've been doing it for the last 4 years in a library with over 10k active users. Node.js might not be as fast as C for some tasks, but when the hardware you're talking to is the limiting factor, it just doesn't matter that the driver could be 4x as fast.

I've been very happy with the switch to the OZW beta. Make sure to check out the OZW Admin console as well. It's a bit rough for a UI but it works.
