I thought I’d try this program as well, seems like a good tool for managing z-wave. I fail on the first step however. The one where I should select which port my Z-stick is in. The list is simply empty. Tried putting the stick in different USB ports, clicking the detect and refresh buttons etc, just nothing. Anyone knows what to do? Do I need to install any special drivers? It’s a Aeotec Z-stick S2.
Dumb question… can someone paste a link to this tool on the silicon labs website? I’ve downloaded a few different tools but can’t seem to find this windows utility
The good old Aeotec. The slight odd boy among z-wave plus.
It is an older SDK and they may well not have implemented all of the options. I think Aeotec have their own utility but not definite. Someone may chip in but it may also be worth talking to them and seeing if they have a firmware that does or their own tool.
That mao is on a different tab and you need to press the reload button. This button calls the API and the controller passes the current topology to the PC Controller Program. On first visit it will be blank.
Aeotec use an old firmware and don’t (as far as I know) have anything newer (at least last time I spoke to them about this which was a few months back now, but at that point they had no plans to update it).
UZB3 is very well tested as a zniffer and flashes without issue. It is the same hardware (other than the colour of case) as the official zniffer that comes with the dev kit.
digikey or mouser sell but make sure if you are a
US user you buy one with -U in the product code
Ia european user you want -E inthe product code
etc etc
They will work across areas as the SAW filter only removes about 40% of signal strength between E and U but it is daft to suffer shorter reception. As they do not transmit you would not break any local regs if you used a zniffer of the wrong area in desperation.
