go back to "Flash Code Memory" page and click on "Program and Verify" - again this takes ages, so be patient and do not play with your PC once ready make screenshot of the updated NVR page, you might need these values later to restore the stick (generally, when playing with zwave chips, read NVM first before you program something) go to "NVR" page and click on read (writing and reading over USB mode takes ages, so be patient)
select zniffer firmware (it is included in Zniffer download - use "sniffer_ZW050x_USBVCP.hex", nothing else, or you will destroy the usb stick!) Run PC Programmer, is should show "USB" mode - if not go to settings and select UZB device
This will give you fully functional zwave zniffer.
The other usb stick can be converted into Zniffer, all one need is to install and run PC Programmer and burn Zniffer Firmware.
Please not, one can destroy lot of things using some functions, so do not play with "Set as SIS", "is Failed, "set Failed", "Shift", or tabs like "Setup Route", "NVM", "Smart Start" (ok, that will not destroy anything, but HC2 does not know what to do with this).įor IMA and Association pages you need first to run on all devices, without you will not see anything. If you have issues adding stick, try to reboot HC2, reset stick, reinsert it and try again - that always worked for me in last years. Simply use exclude on HC2, if that is not working then unplug it from PC, delete manually on HC2 and click on "reset" on PC Controller (after you plugged in stick into PC). Generally is not good idea to have it included if it's not powered on, you might get strange issues with inclusion / exclusion of other devices, or slow zwave response. If you done with diagnostics, or don't want to play anymore, you should exclude the stick. On selected device, it will be then available on OTA page then:īut back to stick as secondary with HC2. If you can't use GET as it seems to be disabled, get back to network management page and run once from there
Go to OTA tab, select device to update on left,then GET in OTA tab to read current version: (yes, i have extracted the hex file from Aeotec Updater Executable, but one can ask Aeotec, they provides hex files as well): This can be done with provided executable from Aeotec, or with the latest PC Controller and firmware hex file: Still use that stick to update them (exclude from HC2 -> include to stick only, run update, exclude, include to HC2 again). Or update firmware of 3rd part devices, however this is not always working (some devices will be not in zwave network anymore after update, e.g. Please login or register to see this attachment. monthly_2018_04/" />Ĭlassic Mode is ok, do not use NWI or Smart Start.Īfter inclusion, the stick will be shown as not configured, that does not matter at all (as long you see all your devices in left tab of the window in PC Software) Please login or register to see this image. One of the sticks can be used then with PC Controller as secondary controller, added into HC2. Now everybody can made use of them, it is enough to buy two usb sticks (yes, one can buy these from Sigma Designs as well, but i prefer to use sticks, they looks nice and i love to support ) latest PC Programmer, which is tool to program Z-Wave chips over UART, JTAG and USB latest Zwave Zniffer, together with Zniffer Firmware (afaik from Silabs legal point on of view - see Legal and FAQ Silabs webpage - should be ok to use the tools and firmware) This is from developer / home developer point of view great things, but there is more.

Today is great day for z-wave community, the whole SDK for Devices and Gateways, and complete Z-Wave documentation can be free downloaded from website (all you need is to create an account on Silabs page)
