We moved to a new house and I brought all my home automation hardware with me, with is a mix of Insteon and Z-Wave. This included a Z-Wave ZStick Ver2, a bunch of Fibaro Motion Sensors, some Aeotec Smart Switches, and Aeon Labs appliance switches. I created a new database in Indigo for a nice clean start and all the Insteon stuff is no problem since the logs report the ID of the device. But with the ZWave stuff, all I've got is a list of a bunch of generic named devices. I was able to guess a few of them since I didn't have many, but with 30+ of them this looks like a lot of trial and error to figure out which ones are which. I'm wondering if other people have run into this situation, and would love advice, pitfalls, problems, etc that you've run into.
I figure I have 4 options:
1. Trial and error with the current ZStick v2 to avoid having to disassociate and re-associate each device.
2. Spending time to dis-associate and re-associate each device as I install it with current zstick.
3. Factory reset ZStick and just re-do the couple of Z-wave devices I already associated.
4. Throw away the ZStick V2 and upgrade to a new Z-Stick Gen5 and add all the devices to that.
I'm leaning towards #4, with the assumption that the Gen5 is worth the $45 and that all my old devices will work with it. I'm also assuming that it won't matter if the device is associated with an old network when I try to put it on the new one. Any opinions?
