Z-Wave v2.3.5 is out

Post by PoltoS »

We are happy to announce that v2.3.5 is out. Currently for RaZberry platform only. Next week other platforms will come too.

The Change Log is very big.

In brief:
- Better look and feel in the UI
- Many bugs fixed (including the one caused Z-Way to hang and crash)
- Few modules updated
- Many Expert UI problems solved
- New statistical and analytical tools added in the Expert UI
- Support for new Z-Wave devices

We hope you will appreciate those improvements!

Next step is to release a Security S2 capable v3.0.0. There are already release candidates available to play with. We would be hapy to get your feedback on your experience with the S2.

Please check your ethernet connection and the power supply of your gateway. Try to reload the page after some minutes to get back to the Smart Home UI, if it doesn't will be triggered automatically

I decided to test this 2.3.5 with my wall clock and some json files get quite large just in few days:

ls -lsat /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage
1064 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1089011 Aug 4 18:59 notifications-f37bd2f66651e7d46f6d38440f2bc5dd.json
1524 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1558987 Aug 4 18:59 zwayparsedPacketsjson-f1aed46af7fae1368e78db7768e4d9e5.json
4492 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4599779 Aug 4 18:59 zwayoriginPacketsjson-2ad2998bc2cb543d29ac586cec215398.json

Oversized json files constantly saving is not healthy in my opinion. SD card writing is pretty slow, even linux kernel+ext4 tries to be smart with caching and not do actual writing all a time.

Let see if this causes any crash eventually.

After upgrading I can no longer select US radio frequency for chipset... It will only allow me to set EU/RU/IN/CN regions...

Can I set operating frequency in a config file somewhere? None of my devices will talk to it now that I cannot set the correct frequency..

2.3.5 is caused linux system crash in one week using due stress test.
-> I guess I am going back to homegenie, and I hope z-way-server will be fixed someday.
-> I think the reason is heavy I/O (json/log) usage or just heavy CPU usage (or combination).

According to top, sometimes CPU usage z-way-server can go to 30% and wa (waiting for I/O) over 2-3%, this wa is critical, it should never go over 1%.
According to iotop, the main usage of I/O usage is done by z-way-server everytime there is query for getting sensor values from the server via http
-> this all on stress test which I explained on another thread.

-> This is most likely because of oversized json files on /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage that are saved constantly.

I think I've found a bug in the installation script (http://razberry.z-wave.me/install).
I updated to the new version 2.3.5 and I was wondering why the scripts no longer worked in different modules.
The problem was that the file '/opt/z-way-server/automation/.syscommands' is not backuped, because in line 161 and 163 of the script the file '.../automation/.syscommand' is not found, because an 's' is missing at the end.
(Correct me if I am wrong.)

Yes, I got stuck just right there too. My RaZberry should be working on US frequency, but now it's only showing those countries like the screenshot.
