[1.3.1] - Mar 2023

Added (1.3.1)

  • Added a few Multilevel Sensor Command Class maps.

Changed (1.3.1)

  • Refactored the UAM files to work with the Attribute Mapper scope priority
  • Refactored the Multilevel Switch Command Class to be simpler.

Fixed (1.3.1)

  • Removed a race condition that occurs if being reset while including a node using SmartStart

[1.3.0] - Feb 2023

Added (1.3.0)

  • Enabled the minimum required attributes for ApplicationMonitoring.
  • Added "full" support for the Scene Cluster, including the Scene Table for devices supporting SceneRequired ZCL attributes.
  • Added Control of Barrier Operator Command Class
  • Added Control of Scene Activation Command Class
  • Added Control of Scene Actuator Configuration Command Class

  • Added a Z-Wave LR Max Power Configuration
  • Added a few Device Specific UAM maps:
    • ZDB5100
    • Aeotec MultiSensor 7

Changed (1.3.0)

  • Updated the Color Switch mapping from HSL to HSV. Resulting color will differ for a given set of Level/Hue/Saturation values.
  • Refactored UAM default files using the new Attribute Mapper functionalities
  • Updated cluster Attribute behaviors:
    • Level cluster store and use previous level, if OnOff cluster (simulation) is used to turn Level device on/off
    • OnOff cluster changes to Off, when Level cluster Current Level changes to 0, when OnOff cluster is simulated

Fixed (1.3.0)

  • Fixed an issue with S0 transport, that would lock up if it needed to send streamed messages
  • SetParameter Commands sent via MQTT will also attempt to discover parameters for Configuration CC v1-v2 supporting nodes.
  • Updated the Tx Queue to be able to break back-offs when transports need to send a frame despite expecting incoming frames
  • IdentifyTime/Level RemainingTimes are now countdowns instead of fixed values

[1.2.1] - Sep 2022

Changed (1.2.1)

  • Allowed UAM files to define the desired value of the Wake Up Interval.
  • Attribute Store is now configured to back-up to the datastore 10 seconds after the last Attribute Store update, and every 10 minutes if the attribute Store is being changed more often than every 10 seconds for 10 minutes in a row. Note that the Attribute Store is always saved at shutdown.

Fixed (1.2.1)

  • Network management waits for NL nodes to be awake before initiating return routes / neighbor discovery operations
  • Tx Queue applies back-off when network management sends frames to destinations
  • Tx Queue applies back-off when we received unsolicited routed frames.
  • (Multi Channel) Association Remove/Set commands will be attempted only 2 times if the end node does not accept values.
  • Network Management will not accept new operations once the Z-Wave Controller has initiated a reset.
  • Attribute Store Poll Engine did not remove attributes from the poll queue, when they were deleted causing a warning to be printed when a deleted attribute was to be polled.

[1.2.0] - Aug 2022

Note: GA releases are not certified. The ZPC will be Z-Wave certified in the 1.2.1 release.

Added (1.2.0)

    • Control of the Alarm Sensor Command Class.

  • PTI enabling/disabling via the RF Telemetry cluster.

Changed (1.2.0)

  • Associations and Wake Up are configured as early as possible during the interview, to minimize damage if sleeping nodes fall asleep during the interview.

  • ZCL attributes are now stored with their real storage type instead of int.

Fixed (1.2.0)

    • Changed zpc.ota_chache_path to zpc.ota.cache_path
    • Changed zpc.ota_chache_size to zpc.ota.cache_size

  • Default get retry timer is lowered to 3s instead of 20s to mitigate against Wake Up nodes falling asleep during node interviews.

Fixed (1.1.1)

  • ZPC gets stuck at reset in some rare cases.
  • ZPC stops controlling OnOff if Binary Switch Set without supervision failed.
  • ZPC stops granting S2 keys in some cases after a reset.
  • ZPC does not let Iot Services control/remove a node after SmartStart self-destruct failure.

    • Central Scene is mapped to the Scene Cluster.

  • Issuing Generated Commands based on interaction with Z-Wave nodes

    • Issuing RecallScene when receiving Central Scene Notifications.
    • Issuing RF Telemetry reports at each transmission when RF Telemetry is enabled

Changed (1.1.0)

  • ZPC datastore file key has been changed from --datastore.file to --zpc.datastore_file

  • Default datastore file has been changed from /var/lib/uic/database.db to /var/lib/uic/zpc.db

    • If you used the default configuration, keep your previous database by running mv /var/lib/uic/database.db /var/lib/uic/zpc.db

  • Increased Z-Wave Tx Queue robustness to multiple Tx sessions.

  • Communication with Z-Wave Module optimized

Fixed (1.1.0)

  • Interviewing an offline node would make it appear online.
  • Missing Wake Up Interval Set during interview for door/window sensor
  • ZPC hangs and stops resolving attributes when DevGUI sends a MoveWithOnOff command

Known Bugs

  • UIC-2274

    • During installation, The presented dialog to specify the serial-port for the given application does not update the actual configuration file (/etc/uic/uic.cfg). The default value is written instead.
    • Packages may overwrite configuration parameters during installation of none related packages. Updated documentation to mitigate this issue.

  • UIC-2219: Bindings command processing do not validate the full UNID. This may trigger to establish spurious associations if having several Z-Wave networks. Note: Do not try to bind nodes accross networks. (inter-pc bindings)

  • UIC-2218: Start and stop the ZPC quickly may lead to a few leftover MQTT topics not removed. Note: Wait a few seconds before stopping the ZPC.

  • UIC-1927: Color Switch Command Class durations are completely ignored. Note: Set the colors instantaneously to avoid issues.

  • UIC-1779: Multi Channel Endpoint Find Reports reports to follow set to > 0 are not handled and will trigger a SPAN increase out-of-sync situation. Note: No workaround, wait for the nodes to recover.

  • UIC-1652: The ZPC silently ignores incorrect YAML and uses default values if it cannot parse the YAML content for its configuration. Note: Verify the validity of the YAML in the configuration file.

  • UIC-1162: When a device have multiple Z-Wave functionalities mapped to the same Zigbee attribute, the state of the device will be ambiguous. The ZCL state will represent the functionality that was last updated. Note: Update tha UAM file with a device fingerprint to circumvent issues.

  • UIC-1088: Potentially wrong controller NIF after controller migration. Note: Usually not a problem in practice
