Z-Wave 2 is a brand new Z-Wave implementation for ioBroker. It is based on zwave-js, which was written from the ground up for your benefit.
Unless ioBroker.zwave it does not require OpenZWave. This means that the installation and updates are fast, and no compilation of static libraries and other complicated steps are necessary.
Furthermore, some devices just don't work in the original adapter, e.g. the Fibaro Roller Shutter 3.
Easy usage in ioBroker was kept in mind during the whole development. For example, some devices reuse configuration parameters to configure many different things. In this adapter, most of them are split into separate states and no complicated math is necessary:
| Config params in ioBroker.zwave2 | vs | Config params in ioBroker.zwave |
|---|---|---|

- Experimental: The handling of messages has been rewritten from scratch and simplified. This may cause some unintended behavior.
- Avoid interruption of the communication with a node by other nodes requesting responses from the controller
- Improved reliability of encrypted communication
- Battery-powered devices are nore sent to sleep more reliably
- Fixed encoding of some configuration parameters
- Fix: Limit allowed Node.js versions to
12.22.2+,14.13.0+,16+and forbid installation on development Node.js versions - Fixed some crashes
- Fixed an issue where healing the network would fail due to a too low timeout
- Improved detection of sticks that do not support soft reset
- New and updated configuration files, see here and here
- Fix: Correctly update UI when canceling an inclusion process
- Fix: Check for SmartStart support before using it
- Fix: Add missing translations
- Fixed the automatic lifeline association for some devices
- New and updated configuration files, see here
- Add support for SmartStart and inclusion of nodes with QR codes
- Try to detect sticks (like UZB and UZB1) that are incompatible with soft-reset and automatically disable it
- Add option to disable soft-reset, mention better solution in troubleshooting docs
