New Z-Uno 2 release!

This build introduces a few fixes and new features.

This update is for Z-Uno version 2!

Previous release was 3.0.7 on October 4, 2021

What's new in 3.0.10?

Z-Wave related changes:

• Passed Z-Wave certification (Z-Wave Plus and Z-Wave Plus LR) on SDK 7.16.3. Everything related to the operation of Command Classes complies with the requirements of the Z-Wave Alliance. (see the 10 channel example). Supervision class added, Association, Multichannel Association, Multichannel, Association Group Information, Configuration, Switch Binary, Switch Multilevel, Notification, Sensor Multilevel Command Classes updated to the new Z-Wave standard.
• SmartStart inclusion implemented (without pressing a button, using a QR code).
• Added support for additional chips upgrades via Firmware Upgrade (not documented yet).
• User sketch can go up to 174 Kb (instead of 32K in 3.0.7).
• Dynamic memory (new/delete statements) are now possible.
• Time Parameter Command Class added and uses the internal RTC.
• The queue for sending messages is now on the user side and uses dynamic memory, which has significantly reduced the risk of packet loss due to full queue.
• The Configuration Command Class now allows you to set configuration parameter metadata (name, value range, default value).
• Added libraries for ZUnoShield2, DAC102S085, PN7150, Ds1307Rtc, SpiFlash, ModBusRtu.
• New Command Classes: User Code, Entry Control, Central Scene (already used in the button library), Indicator (no documentation yet).
• Optimize device wake/sleep time for sleeping and FLIRS devices. It is possible to choose between EM4/EM2 modes.
• Automatic detection of the Security S2 level for controlled devices (via Associations). When added to associations, Z-Uno determines the maximum available security level of another node itself. Allows you to add devices with different S2 levels to the same group.

IDE:

• ArduinoIDE 2.0 support.
• Better compatibility with Arduino projects (pgmspace.h, /etc.)
• Added to the Arduino IDE interface the command to clear the NVM memory (similar to the 1st version of Z-Uno).
• The license is applied automatically when uploading the sketch to the IDE after purchase on the site (can be disabled in the LicenseUpdate menu)

Additional h/w features:

• Zniffer support (PTI or Modem licenses). Works with Z-Wave.Me A.R.T (Advance Radio Toolkit).
• Higher transmitter power.
• Z-Wave LongRange.
• Sending arbitrary raw packets.
• Support PTI radio packet logging interface (license required)
• Special radio testing mode (sending a carrier, bit stream, test packets) at different transmitter powers, available from the zme_make utility or by a special button/pins combination. For FCC, CE and production tests.
• Operation of the SPI interface in slave mode.
• LESense capacitive button interface (accessible via button library).
• To control the periphery of the chip, the native emlib library is used in user mode - access to all available peripherals through a low-level API. (Previously, most of this library was inside the system area and a simplified wrapping library was used).
• Optimized the write strategy to the user NVM, improved the response time of the device on the radio when setting parameters/associations.
• Support for energy efficient LEUART interface (up to 9600 kbps), which is available up to and including EM2 power consumption mode.
• cli-sniffer tracer is built into zme_make (requires PTI or Modem license)

Documentation on Z-Uno web site was also revised and updated to host new functions description.

This new software update for Z-Uno adds the support of the best in class IoT security protocol — Z-Wave Security S2.

What's new in 2.1.3?

New features:

• Z-Wave Security S2 implemented!
• MultiChannel is supressed if only one channel is defined (no duplicate widget will be shown in your controller).
• Associations reworked - up to 32 groups are now supported (1 LifeLine + 31 control groups) with up to 8 nodes in each group.
• User libraries can now be located in the sketch folder.

Bug fixes

• Fixed Wakeup CC (broken since 2.1.1).

Notes on Security S2

• To benefit from the newest Security S2 you need to own a modern S2 capable controller.
  RaZberry users can check the beta v3.0.0.
• You need to change the bootloader from non-secure/S0 to S2 version. This is done by selecting S2 from the menu Tools→Security (see the screenshot). Then do Tools→Burn bootloader. If bootloader mismatch your menu settings, you will get a warning.
• To locate the Z-Uno PIN (also known as DSK or ZWS2DSK) check the log of the Arduino IDE (see the screenshot).
• Z-Uno supports all security classes: S2 Unauthenticated, S2 Authenticated and S2 Access.
• S2 capable bootloader do not support S0 security, Z-Uno can autodetect the security scheme used by the recepient, so it can control devices with any S2 security level provided the corresponding key is granted to Z-Uno.
• Z-Uno with S2 support can not control/support S0 security scheme. If you need to control actuator with S0 security only, either downgrade to S0 your Z-Uno or use rules on the controller to receive S2 sensors notifications and send S0 commands to the S0 capable actuator.
• In S2 variant of Z-Uno the user code is limited to 6 Kb only. This is enough for most of your sketches.
• This is a not yet certified Z-Uno software - we plan to certify it soon in the Z-Wave Alliance.

What's next?
Z-Uno is great, but it can be even better. We have a huge list of interesting features we would like to introduce. This is why we want to ask you about features you need for your project. Please vote on our forum.

We have a new official distributor in Canada: National Sensors.

Z-Uno is also available on Amazon and Amazon UK.

This new software update for Z-Uno introduces many new features, allows you to use modern Arduino IDE 1.8.5 and prepares Z-Uno for the most secure IoT protocol - Z-Wave Security S2 - that will be release in the next 2.1.2.

What's new in 2.1.1?

New features:

• Arduino IDE 1.6.5 and 1.8.5 are now supported. You can now use the latest Arduino IDE with Z-Uno!
• Added Japonese, Korean and Taiwanese frequencies.
• Number of Z-Uno channels rised to 32! You can make 32 devices in one.
• Added support for up to 32 user defined configuration parameters to make your sketches even more flexible.
• Z-Uno can wake up on low and high INT1 - this allows to go into sleep mode on any state of INT1. Save more battery in your sensor!
• Stack overflow and system errors are reported to the controller and/or to the UART0. Arduino IDE Tools menu allows to turn it on/off. This should make your debugging easier.
• User defined battery measurement allows to personalize battery reports for your project.
• Added the possibility to measure the voltage on the 3V pin using analogRead() function.
• Added function zunoSetBeamCountWU() to instruct Z-Uno in FLiRS mode to wake up after several second even if there were no packets received. This allows to make always reachable battery powered sensors.
• In Arduino IDE Tools menu one more item added - clean EEPROM. Can clean user data, system data or all data (like reset to factory default).

• Fixed wakeup on Key Scanner (broken in 2.1.0)
• Fixed FLIRS not reporting without a delay in the loop. Now delay is not needed anymore.
• Fixed handler calling when devices is sent into sleep by user.
• memset fixed
• No need to downgrade to the previous version to upgrade from test build to a stable one
• Few examples changed to adop the changes above

And a lot of internal changes (see our forum for more details).

Our next ambitious goal is to release and certify an S2 capable Z-Uno!

To illustrate the power of Z-Uno we have made those new examples::

• FLiRS humidity sensor
• 32 DS18B20 temperature sensors
• OLED display with text and bitmaps
• RadioBlink example enhanced with configuration parameter

We are happy to announce a new Z-Uno release! This software update of Z-Uno is introducing many new features and fixes some bugs found in 2.0.9.

What's new in 2.1.0?

New example added (can be found in File→Examples→Z-Uno in Arduino IDE or on the site):

• Z-Uno as a modem — communicate with Z-Uno via AT commands.
  This new sketch allows to use Z-Uno as a modem like it is with Bluetooth HM-10. Connect Z-Uno you your smart devices to make the Z-Wave enabled!
  
  This sketch also allows to report values from your PC or Arduino to your existing Z-Wave controller.
• NeoPixel illustrates how to control WS2811/WS2812 LEDs right from your Z-Uno.
• Multiple DS18B20 creates as many channels as there are temperature sensors connected

New features:

• New channel types added:
  • Blinds (similiar to Switch Multilevel, but shows up as blinds in controllers)
  • Siren (similiar to Switch Binary, but shows up as a siren) — can be sleeping (FLiRS) and run on battaries
  • Valve control (also called Flow Stop, similiar to Switch Binary, but shows up as a valve control) — can be sleeping (FLiRS) and run on battaries
• Now Z-Uno channels and association groups can be configured depending on the peripherals - same sketch can adopt to the environment. For example autodetect all DS18B20 temperature sensors on the 1-wire bus and render the corresponding channels. Or read configuration from UART and create channels and groups corresponding to that data. Or connect Bluetooth modem with Z-Uno and create a Bluetooth-to-Z-Wave gateway. There might be many ideas! See full description.
• Learn mode can not be initiated from the sketch. This allows to start learn mode via USB, UART or any other bus from another chip.

Libraries

• NeoPixel implements support of WS2811 and WS2812. The library is compatible with Arduino style.

This new C++ release is available under http://z-uno.z-wave.me/files/z-uno/package_z-wave.me_index.json URL (follow instructions).
