What version SmartStick ????

[scorp508]

I am thinking it's a 500 series, with makes it a G2. This is present in the HS log at plug-in start up: "[COLOR=#000000]Controller chip type is ZW050x". Some docs on the Silicon Labs website confirm that this is 500 series hardware. I am on firmware 4.32 and I can't locate anything more recent.

Mine is also ZW050x in the startup, so yeah 500 series. My only question was whether or not I had a G1, I have a G3 on order, but I don't think I've seen a G1 on the HomeSeer site since I've paid attention to it.

Unrelated, the Silicon Labs site also describes the lower frequency (better penetration) 800 series chips that are now out. Maybe z-wave is not dying...

Hi - Any update here? I have a SmartStick+ that was purchased within days of 45rogue and can't tell what 'G' it is. I am having some issues and need to know if firmware updates apply.

mccalml and 45rogue ,

My SmartStick+ was purchased in Nov 2016 and looks like mccalml's photo. I believe it's a G2 as I don't remember seeing a G1 anywhere.

In Windows 10 on my machine, it shows up as COM device with driver UZB version 0.0.4.0 from 6/10/2013. This aligns with the SmartStick+ G2 driver download on HomeSeer's download page.


If I extract the drivers on the HomeSeer downloads page for the G3 model, it looks like it would show up as COM device with driver silabser version 10.1.8.2466 from 6/20/2019.

thanks again for the info
But I still can't figure out what I device version I have. I did find the purchase. See the image, note the date of June 2017 . Is this a G3, or G5, or G????
Can its firmware be updated? Should its firmware be updated???
please help......

If I need to purchase a new version, ok, just let me know.....

I think the information set depends on the version of the Z-Wave plugin you're using. This is what I'm seeing with the latest HS4 version:

I know that with a Z-Net, the Z-Wave plugin will report the controller version info.
Try stopping/restarting the Z-Wave plugin and check the logs.

Look in the windows system devices listing under usb devices depending on windows version

Did you look on the server in the respective Bin folders?

[45rogue]

Thanks for the reply.
But not really what I'm looking for........... I need the info on the SmartStick itself, i.e. device version, and firmware currently installed...

On the Tools menu select the "Help" dropdown. It will take a few second to gather the data. At the very bottom of the list you will see "Plugins Installed." It is also half way down the list.

Well, I'm kinda confused.
How the heck do I know what version SmartStick and firmware I have???
See the image below.
I would like to upgrade the the latest release, but not sure where to start from....
Little help would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanks.
