i'm probably late to the party. could use some help, please and thanks.
how do i pin the module to the sidebar? seems like it should be the most obvious option under settings?
where are the names of devices? it's useless to know that i have 8 zen32's without names, do i really need to cross reference node numbers every time i need to identify a device? brutal.

go to the app/addon and open the web ui
there are giant buttons to do both points 1 and 2 on the app/addon page
ember osprey
AH, i was looking inside the web ui, thank you for the sidebar help. What about the friendly names showing in the giant table?
mortal tiger
What friendly names?
this is a separate software
it sends friendly names to HA not the other way around
ember osprey
the names i have assigned all my devices
mortal tiger
that you assigned in HA?
ember osprey
yes
mortal tiger
Yes, that's a separate software
the app is ZwaveJS, it sends names to HA
not the other way around
ember osprey
not before this existed, what about people who had zwave networks before this change?
mortal tiger
nothing changed...
mortal tiger
all that's happening now is that you get to view the devices as they are in zstick
ember osprey
sure, i like the progression but how do i solve seeing the names?
mortal tiger
You can't, they aren't named.
This is a separate software
you never named the devices in your zstick
you only named the devices in HA
the software does not know about your names
ember osprey
i understand, so does naming them in the UI override HA?
mortal tiger
there is no interface that sends the HA device names to the other software
ember osprey
i dont mind if that becomes the place i should be naming things, i just dont want to manage two sets of names
mortal tiger
i understand, so does naming them in the UI override HA?
Yes
I believe there's an option to send the info over when you rename each node
And location should also set area if it exists
ember osprey
this is all very interesting. thank you for the clarification. is the exclusion mode by device now, or can i enable it for all of zwave and trigger an exclusion on a device?
mortal tiger
Not following you
if I recall correctly, exclusion has always been a network wide function, never single device based
ember osprey
ok i got that resolved, i see the node management options. thats kind of nice. so the name is whatever i want, that goes to HA. But the location? it's not showing me known locations? So I have to make sure i get the syntax perfect, for like "Basement" otherwise it would make a new room like "basement"?
yeah that didnt work. i named it in the UI, and gave it a location. but it shows up in HA as a default values for name and no location.
so i learned that you need to PRE-populate the name and location before inclusion, that info is only sent one time at creation, cannot be done after the fact.

It will update in HA after inclusion if you haven't changed it in HA, requires an integration reload
fresh rock
there is no interface that sends the HA device names to the other software
Yet. I have plans
