Release v13.0.0-beta.2

Breaking changes · Migration guide

• Align Meter CC Reset v6 with specifications, add mocks, add API for report commands (#6921)
• Convert all Z-Wave specific configs except devices and manufacturers into code, move from ConfigManager methods to utility functions (#6925, #6929)
• Remove ZWaveApplicationHost dependency from CommandClass.toLogEntry() (#6927)
• Removed some deprecated things (#6928)
• Replace Controller.isAssociationAllowed with Controller.checkAssociation (#6935)
• Fixed health checks for ZWLR nodes, throw when requesting neighbors (#6939)
• The repo now uses Yarn 4 and Corepack to manage its dependencies (#6949)

Changes under the hood

• Upgrade to TypeScript 5.5 (#6919)
• The root tsconfig.json is now set up in "solution-style", which should improve the goto references functionality. In addition, linting, testing and running locally no longer requires all modules to be compiled first. (#6748)

Release v12.12.2

Bugfixes

• When responding to Version CC Get queries, Z-Wave JS's own version is now included as the Firmware 1 version (#6982)
• When receiving a notification with an unknown notification type, the created "unknown" value now correctly has metadata set (#6981)
• When receiving an idle notification, the values for unknown notification events are now also reset to idle (#6980)
• Auto-enable all supported Barrier Operator signaling subsystem during the interview (#6979)

Release v12.12.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where the watchdog feature could cause Z-Wave JS to stall after attempting controller recovery (#6968)
• Reset controller again when transmitting to a problematic node makes the controller become unresponsive again after automatic recovery (#6968)
• Node interviews are now aborted in more cases when node is determined to be dead (#6967)
• Expose Basic CC currentValue when certain compat flags are set (#6964)

Release v12.12.0

We were informed by Silicon Labs that 700/800 series controllers have a hardware watchdog that can reset the controller when it becomes unresponsive. This feature is now enabled by default in Z-Wave JS and should prevent the controller from hanging indefinitely.

In case this causes new issues, the feature can be disabled by setting the environment variable ZWAVEJS_DISABLE_WATCHDOG to any non-empty value, or by setting the driver option features.watchdog to false.

Please let us know if this actually helps or not.

Features

• Enable hardware watchdog on 700/800 series controllers (#6954)
• Add method to query supported RF regions (#6957)
• Add notification variable for Door/Window tilt state (#6958)

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where value metadata for unknown notification events with known notification types would only be created if the CC version was exactly 2 (#6959)

Release v12.11.2

Bugfixes

• Fixed a regression from 12.11.1 causing commands to sleeping nodes to block the send queue (#6953)
• Fixed how routes for inbound frames are parsed in Zniffer (#6945)

Release v12.11.1

Bugfixes

• Add compat flag to always encode Set-type commands using target node's CC version (#6918)
• Export NodeDump type (#6915)
• Redact secret values in NodeDump (#6934)
• Added a workaround for devices that incorrectly send their Binary Sensor Reports using the sensor type Any (0xff). Those reports are now interpreted as if they were using the first supported sensor type (#6933)
• After adding an association to a LR node, Z-Wave JS no longer attempts assigning routes (#6936)
• Removed some unnecessary log outputs during rebuildNodeRoutes when the node has no other associations than the controller (#6940)
• Pings in route health checks no longer use explorer frames (#6942)
• When attempting communication with a node that's considered dead, the command is now sent immediately instead of pinging first (#6944)
• Fixed an issue where the priority and tag of a transaction would not be preserved when moving it to the wakeup queue (#6944)

Config file changes

• Remove endpoint workaround for Zooz ZEN30 800LR (#6931)
• Encode CCs using target's CC version for TKB Home TZ67 (#6918)

Changes under the hood

• GitHub links in the released package.json now point to the Z-Wave JS org (#6930)

Release v12.11.0

Features

• Add ZWaveNode.createDump() method to save debug information in a format Z-Wave JS understands (#6906)
• Support node dumps created by ZWaveNode.createDump() as input for `mock-server' (#6907)
• mock-server: enable mDNS discovery (#6909)
• Add driver option to configure vendor-specific constants Z-Wave JS uses to reply to requests from other nodes, including manufacturer ID, product type/ID and hardware version (#6876)

Bugfixes

• Fixed a race condition that would cause a timeout error to be shown after an actually successful OTW update (#6912)
• Create supportedNotificationTypes and supportedNotificationEvents values with alarmMapping compat flag (#6914)

Config file changes

• Correct config parameters for Minoston MP21ZD Dimmer Plug (#6686)

Release v12.10.1

This release implements the workaround mentioned by Silicon Labs in their SDK 7.21.3 release notes. Jammed 700/800 series controllers (fail to transmit continuously) are now restarted when this situation is detected, which hopefully resolves the issue temporarily.

Unfortunately I have no way to reproduce the situation other than simulated tests, so please let us know if this actually helps or not.

Bugfixes

• Set supportsLongRange to false on controllers known not to support LR ever (#6894)
• Attempt to recover jammed controller by soft-resetting (#6900)

Config file changes

• Add fingerprint 0x0004:0xffff to "Yale YRD210" (#6899)

Changes under the hood

• Migrate pack PR action to github-script (#6897)

Release v12.10.0

Features

• Support SendTestFrame command and perform powerlevel tests on behalf of other nodes (#6889)

Bugfixes

• Respond to more queries from other devices (#6866)
• Handle supervised queries from other devices correctly (#6866)
• Harden S2 extension parsing and validation (#6866)
• Fixed some more edge cases found by S2 certification tests (#6887)
• Abort S2 bootstrapping when CSA is requested (not supported in Z-Wave JS) (#6890)
