Z-Way v3.2.1 Release and update of iOS app

Dear Z-Way users, we are happy to announce a new version
v3.2.1 of the Z-Way smart home controller and the new
Z-Wave.Me iOS app!
Below we have listed the most important changes introduced in last months. The full change log is available on
https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/ChangeLog
NB! During installation via UI or our installation script the
Mosquitto (by Eclipse) repository is added to the APT package management system. On Debian and Ubuntu you need to
explicitly add them.
NB! For Rapsberry Pi only the latest
Raspbian Buster (Raspberry OS) is supported. If you are still on Stretch, you will need to upgrade you Raspbian.
New features and improvements:
- MQTT native support based on libmosquitto
- Reduced SD card write operations to improve its lifetime
- Improved Z-Way load speed
- Improved HomeKit support. Sorry, you have to remove Z-Way from Apple Home and add back.
- Fixed EasyScripting app UI slowdown
- Added support of RaZberry 7 and RaZberry 7 Pro
- Added device.data.unsolicitedReportsOnSet (set for Z-Wave Plus devices by default) not to make a useless Get after Set. A delayed Get is sent if
- Report is not received. This minimizes netwrok traffic.
- Discarding duplicate Z-Wave packets to lower CPU load and improve handling speed
- Improved behaviour when Z-Way is secondary
New iOS app:
- Automatic search for Z-Way in local network
Whats next?
- Add support for Z-Wave Long Rage
- Add shortcuts om the desktop in Android and iOS
- Add Websocket API to ZAutomation
- Multicast UI

@PoltoS note that the released 3.2.1 deb for raspian still suffers from the libmosquitto1 (>= 2.0.10) dependency as reported in
https://forum.z-wave.me/viewtopic.php?p=91053#p91053 I am on Buster:
Code: Select all
$ apt-cache policy libmosquitto1
libmosquitto1:
Installed: 1.5.7-1+deb10u1
Candidate: 1.5.7-1+deb10u1
Version table:
*** 1.5.7-1+deb10u1 500
500 http://debian.bio.lmu.de/raspbian/raspbian buster/main armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"
I had to add the libmosquitto1 repo:
Code: Select all
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/z-wave-me.list
deb https://repo.z-wave.me/z-way/raspbian buster main
deb https://repo.mosquitto.org/debian buster main
$ wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
$ sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
Finally I let aptitude fix the install.
Also, I checked the debian package browser and could confirm Debian buster is still on 1.5.7.

I updated to 3.2.1 using the UI and all went well, the system appears to be working ok. But in expertUI, Control, in Device Management the inclusion and exclusion are greyed out/not working. Also in the Network Maintenance section the remove and replace failed node, and mark battery device as failed are greyed out/not working.

Good that you are happy PoltoS
I'm STILL not happy with the HomeKit Gateway!
After changing one device that don't need to be displayed in HomeKit, the Z-way bridge is no longer accessible in the Home App.
I remove the bridge from the Home App and then try to reinstall it - not visible any more!
Have to change the Name as it appears in iOS devices, to something new. Then possible to reinstall.
Still very non predictable behavior of HomeKit bridge

@xurg is you use the UI, the correct repository will be attached and newer mosquitto will be downloaded from their official repo.

Ok, I did neither know nor expect that. While I understand your reasoning - and using the official builds is better than maintaining a custom build yourself - adding a 3rd party repo during the update process seems dubious to me. I hope the UI points that out at least.
You should also document this in the release notes and the first post of this thread.

Is this version upgrade only for Razberry, or z-wave.Me Hub also can be updated? Because UI on Hub didnt propose me update from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1
