    Well pretty much complete with the migration. I have one Fibaro smart module left which will be retired when my external Temperature / Humidity sensor arrives today, then the main and underfloor thermostats (which I will probably keep as response time is not really a major issue) There's a stack of virtual switches which trigger things like getting up and going to bed. I can replace those in HA (and probably will). C

    Ahh well I rather assumed that someone smart (like you two) would look at my URL in HA bridge and immediately spot the fault As ever, appreciated and working C

    Yeah, I think the underlying package has some kind of half-check somewhere, like if (payload) { ... } to see if a payload is being sent, and that would fail for boolean false and other falsy values, but it doesn't matter, I don't assume the proper conversion below me, and I missed it on the exception case in that action, so there's good permanent fix (for the code... my brain, maybe not so much).

    @retireditguy here's my xmas which is tricky because it moves year-to-year based on starting the day after Thanksgiving: [image: 1767447096039-a7c80e12-b0cf-4ab3-b6e4-c178b45c8f46-image.png] And here's my Thanksgiving which is tricky because it moves year-to-year, being based on the "fourth Thursday of November": [image: 1767447187394-15300be5-ee5a-4804-973b-d63b72fa404f-image.png] And here's a more "traditional" one for a set date: [image: 1767447243483-11db8315-158a-40d0-9bfb-390479a640a9-image.png]

    I will change my logic to just check for your state to be disarmed (so, no changes) for at least 5 secs, or as already suggested, just use OR with all the possible variations you’d get.

    I did a "replace script" that's parsing JSON files and replacing references. Every time I change a device (i.e.: I pair a new Zwave device or replace some Wi-Fi thing with ZigBee/Zwave), I run it with old device and new device as params. Back in the days I mostly did it manually. Here's the todo list: Stop reactor Copy storage folder (and make a backup) Search for the old device ID and change accordingly Save files, copy to storage folder Start Reactor again I agree a much needed feature will be the ability to filter rules by device. At least you'll easily spot the ones not used in code blocks and that will be useful when you don't remember the exact rule that is doing something with a particular device.

    Further testing, I need a router decvice as by the time I move the sensor two floors down it stops responding, but I was pretty much expecting that. I can probably do something with the positioning of the dongle on its extension as well. C

    @Pabla said in Single protocol?: When you make the switch give the new ZWA-2 Z wave antenna a try, it will fix a lot of any lingering problems. That is exactly where I am headed. Most of the "complicated" devices in my mesh that were on Vera (scene controllers, notably, but also multi-sensors and some devices that were causing issues there) have been moved to a 500-series Z-stick controlled by Z-WaveJS, and I will migrate everything to the ZWA-2 when I get it (on my Christmas wish list, so if it's not under the tree, I'll just gift it to myself after). I have to confess, despite its issues and the horrible ending that Ezlo has given the product (and the tremendous face-in the-dirt failure that their supposed replacement products have been), I remain sentimental. So much wasted potential. Alas, we move on. Edit: just now, to illustrate: [image: 1765821934989-6b950965-5658-45f5-aa89-50ef098cf2ea-image.png]

    I guess I never noticed before as I thought they used to update. The rules function so just visual. Thank You for the information.

    Well, taking a backup inside ZWaveJS is a breeze - and yes, it's very easy to backup (or restore) the NVM on the ZWA-2. In fact, I just restored a backup from UZB to ZWA-2 and I was good to go. I think you'll never need to move it around the house, because the antenna is huge. No problems in pairing devices either, but that was the case with UZB before and I think it's a ZWave JS prerogative in general. It was just plug&play for me, but I understand that if you have to change your logic to match new device IDs it may make sense to start from scratch - time permitting.

    yep, parameters for reactions will definitely improve my job here, specially when speaking of thermostats/HVAC in general. Thanks as always for your support, Patrick!
