Domoticz

I recently realized that Silabs is going on Z-Ware Gateway and Z-IP path which they made their SDKs publicly available. I was just wondering if there are any plans on implementing this instead of OZW?

Great question! Over the last years the wish of more stability in my Z-Wave network is growing every day. I run about 80 nodes with very current routing slaves but still experience timeouts and other daily strange surprises.

As i read it, this is only a new gateway layer for remote communication. So not really relevant for domoticz users.

"Not really relevant..."

There is a gap of functionality between Z/IP and OpenZWave especialy routing and healing function I think. When you have to deal with larger Z-Wave networks and critical environments with concrete wall e. g. its a good idea to have working/effective routing and network heal functions.

For now I included a secondary Z-Wave controller and optimize the network with the PC Controller Software. I did this because of the scared results captured with Z-Wave Sniffer/UZB3.

It's also a good idea to read the post:

and of course the SDS: https://www.silabs.com/documents/login/ ... cation.pdf

Maybe not really relevant, but really helps to clarify root causes of timeouts!
