Is there a way to change the node numbers assigned in the Add operation?  I've excluded/deleted a couple of devices but when I add something new it just increments the last node assigned by one and uses the new value.  I'd like to get my node numbers sequential without any gaps but I'm afraid I may have to factory reset my new 500 dongle and all the nodes that were associated to it.  And I don't know if that would even work.  Say I've got a hole, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, [ ], 6, 7, 8 and I would like to add the next device at node 5.  Is there a way to do that?  Can you edit existing node numbers?

Just to clarify, you're using Polyglot cloud right?  Local Polyglot has a drop down selector where you select the slot you want to install to.  Or are you saying that feature is broken? 

And, no, you can't edit existing node server slots.  You would have to remove and re-adding to a different slot.

I'm sorry, I didn't post application & release.  This is an ISY994i at 5.3..4, Z-Wave 6.82.01 .This not Polyglot cloud.  Not knowing the internals of how Z-Wave works while it didn't appear on the surface I figured I'd throw this out and see if it was possible.  Thanks.  -Grant

Hi @GJ Software Products,

The numbers you are seeing are unique address numbers which will not change.  Most users rename the node after creation, you can prefix the name with a new number if your goal is to have a sorted list of nodes.

Yea, I 'kinda figured that.  I'm just anal about stuff like addressing with no missing address numbers in the sequence (from the RS-485 days) and was just looking to see if I could adjust the addresses to be in sequence with no missing numbers.  Maybe one of these days if I ever find time to learn the Z-Wave protocol I'll write an address editor.  I was thinking there might have been a way to tell the ISY to start at # x when you request an Add.

Is that node number local in the ISY and get cross referenced to a physical address of the Z-Wave device like say the MAC address or does that node number get pushed down to the Z-Wave device when you Add it?  Something made me think the node number gets pushed down to the Z-Wave device when it is added???

 

@GJ Software Products,

Z-Wave node numbers are generated by the Z-Wave dongle. We have absolutely no control over them.

With kind regards,
