The new Razzberry 700 series by Z-wave.me is finally available in the US.

TC1,

What flaw are you referring to?

The network gets congested and slows down under certain conditions. It's been reported on these forums regarding the HS Gen3 z-wave stick.

Wouldn't the matching components affect this anyway? A capacitor in the feedline, if needed to the match the antenna, would block DC too.

If it had an inductor from the feedline to ground it would read a direct short too does that mean it would be a bad design?

Why is this a design flaw?

Use multimeter to test antenna pin DC voltage, If it is around 3.2-3.3V, it's not good, if it is 0V, that's good.

Why is that "not good"? What's wrong with having a DC offset?

PFL,

I haven't heard about this. Where did you learn this? I would like to read about it.

Yes, It is fully recognized by HomeSeer.

The RaZberry 7 and RaZberry 7 Pro do not isolate DC on RF. So the RF part has some design flaws. I have a Z-Pi 7 has the same issue. That's why I don't recommend their stuff.

Just remember there is some kind of fundamental flaw in all 700-series Z-wave controllers since they all use the same Silicon Labs reference design. That flaw has been reported by HST and other platform forums have users posting similar complaints with various controllers based on the 700 series chip.

So in about 5 years we might see a product based on the 800 series chip.

Maybe next year. 800 chips includes PSA level 3 encryption.

The Z-Uno 2 is available now also

Z-Wave 800 is coming.

Does the z-wave plugin automatically recognise the device ? is it treated as a Z-net interface ?
thanks

It is automatically recognized by the Z-Net. Because this little board includes RTC and Cooling fan, you will need to configure RTC and cooling fan, but if you don't care RTC and Cooling fan, you don't need to do anything, just replace this board, it will work automatically, the RGB LED is working as original Z-NET as well.
