Then, select the settings option on the controller software. Start by plugging the Z-Wave stick into one of your PC’s available USB ports. Luckily, there’s a bunch of helpful people in the Inovelli community that got me on the right track. I know because that’s how I initially did it.

You could add the stick using SmartThings’ general scan and add feature, but that won’t give you the proper security to perform the firmware updates. It’s important that you use the following method to add the stick to the network so that the proper security codes are shared. This method will preserve all your existing automations. Using the secondary controller method will allow you to update your devices WITHOUT excluding them from your network. Next, we are going to include the Z-Wave stick to your SmartThings network as a secondary controller.
#HOMESEER UPDATE ZSTICK SOFTWARE#
The updates would still be done one at a time, but the software would take care of it instead of you sitting there waiting for each update to complete so you can start the next one. The advantage to Z-Flash is that (if you can get it working) you can update multiple devices at once.įor example, if you had 10 of the same Inovelli switches, you could queue up all 10 firmware updates and let it run. NOTE: I also purchased HomeSeer’s Z-Flash software (it was only $15), but was unable to get it working. For a paid software that can do updates in batches, see the note below. With this software, the updates will need to be performed one at a time. Once you’ve installed the software, open it and you should get a screen something like the image below. You will also need to create an account to download the software.
#HOMESEER UPDATE ZSTICK INSTALL#
You’ll have to download and install both the Z-Wave SDK and PC Controller located on this page. You will need a Windows computer to run it. The software I recommend is free and is called Z-Wave PC Controller. Once you have your stick, you’ll need to install some software to run the stick. There’s a couple models that will work, but I chose to get the Zooz ZST10. The best way to do this is to buy a Z-wave USB stick. Since your hub (SmartThings) can’t do Z-wave OTA updates, you’ll need to get one that is capable of performing the updates.
