Hi everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of Z-Wave devices lately and came across something interesting. I read that Z-Wave JS now supports firmware updates for devices, which is a huge step forward! However, I’m curious if this feature is as seamless as it seems. From what I gather, it’s available in ZWaveJS2MQTT but not in the Home Assistant recommended integration. I’d love to hear from others who’ve successfully updated their devices—what was your experience like? Was it straightforward, or were there any hiccups along the way? I’m especially interested in how this might benefit my setup with a few older devices that could use a refresh.
Speaking of devices, I’ve also been exploring smart locks lately. I recently got the Ultion Nuki Smart Lock, and while it’s been a great addition, I’ve noticed a peculiar issue with the Lock N’ Go feature. My door has a lift-up handle, and when I leave it open without lifting the handle, the Lock N’ Go feature fails to lock properly. The app shows it as locked, but in reality, it isn’t. This is a bit concerning from a security standpoint. I reached out to the support team, and they mentioned it might be due to the lock status being incorrectly updated. I’m wondering if others have encountered similar issues and how they’ve resolved them. Has anyone found a workaround or a setting adjustment that helps prevent this misleading status?
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with template sensors in Home Assistant to track days since a specific date. My configuration seems correct, but the card keeps showing ‘Unknown.’ I’ve restarted everything, but the issue persists. I suspect it might be a syntax error in my YAML file. If anyone has successfully set up a similar sensor, I’d appreciate any tips or pointers on what I might be missing. Maybe it’s something small, like incorrect formatting or missing dependencies.
Overall, I’m really enjoying the journey of integrating more smart devices into my home. Each challenge I face is an opportunity to learn and improve my setup. I’m excited to hear from the community and see how others have tackled these issues. Let’s keep the conversation flowing and help each other make the most out of our smart homes!
