• Auto-remove failed SmartStart nodes when bootstrapping times out (#6483)
• Do not attempt to poll values from nodes that are considered dead (#6470)
• Fixed an issue where the send queue was blocked when recovering controller from missed Send Data callback failed (#6473)
• Instead of restarting the driver, the serial port is now reopened if controller is still missing ACKs after soft-reset (#6477)

Changes under the hood

• Bot: Consider zwave_js to be a valid logfile name in issue reports (#6459)

Release v12.2.2

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where nodes would appear to have two lifeline associations, one with and one without target endpoint 0 (#6448)
• Writing to the volume value of the Sound Switch CC no longer throws an error, but pre-sets the volume to use for the next tone to be played using the toneId value (#6450, #6451)
• The defaultToneId value of the Sound Switch CC now also lists the names for each possible tone (#6452)

Config file changes

• Treat Binary Switch Set and Thermostat Mode Set as reports for SRT321 HRT4-ZW (#6423)

Changes under the hood

• Add compat flag to treat Set commands as Report (#6423)

Release v12.2.1

Release v12.2.0

This release includes several more fixes and workarounds for the problematic interaction between some controller firmware bugs and the automatic controller recovery introduced in the v12 release:

• Added a workaround to recognize corrupted ACK frames after soft-reset of controllers running an 7.19.x firmware or higher. Previously this triggered the unresponsive controller detection and recovery process. (#6409)
• When the response to a Send Data command times out, the command is now aborted, instead of retrying and potentially putting the controller in a bad state due to not waiting for the command cycle to complete. When this happens, Z-Wave JS no longer attempts to recover the controller by restarting it, unless the callback is also missing. (#6408)
• When the callback to a Send Data command continues to be missing after restarting the controller, Z-Wave JS no longer restarts itself. Instead the old behavior of marking the node as dead is now restored, as the node being unresponsive/unreachable is most likely the actual problem. (#6403)
• In addition, the Send Data callback timeout has been reduced to 30 seconds and ongoing transmissions are now aborted before reaching this timeout. This should limit the impact of the controller taking excessively long to transmit, especially in busy networks with lots of unsolicited reporting and end nodes expecting a timely response (#6411)

Features

• The Driver constructor now accepts multiple sets of options and curated presets are available (#6412)

Additional Bugfixes

• Only auto-refresh Meter and Multilevel Sensor CC values if none were updated recently (#6398)
• Export all option types for Configuration CC (#6413)

Config file changes

• Add NEO Cool Cam Repeater (#6332)
• Increase report timeout for Aeotec Multisensor 6 to 2s (#6397)
