How to determine Z-Wave firmware version for a device?

As stated in the subject line, I'm wondering if a Z-Wave device can be queried/interrogated to determine its firmware version. I can't find any info on this. It would seem to be something that should be available in the Z-Wave protocol.

Currently the ISY and the Polisy don't have that option.  Check with the device manufacturer's support site. You usually have to use 3rd party software to view a device's firmware.

What is the device you want to interrogate?

Would be nice to add this to Policy or to the ISY.  HomeAssistant can do this, so clearly there is support for this on at least some if not all of the z-wave dongles.

You can view the firmware version using Simplicity Studio (free) from Silicon Labs.  When you select a node it will show "Z-Wave device firmware" x.x  or "Firmware ID" and Firmware version.  Check out https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/253-how-to-perform-an-ota-firmware-update-on-zooz-devices/ .

That's too bad. I'd like to be able to query any/all of my Z-Wave devices. Most of them are Zooz and Zooz has a penchant for issuing multiple versions of their firmware along with multiple documents describing the features of each version. The trouble is, unless you know what firmware you are working with you won't know which firmware documentation to reference when configuring a device. I appreciate Zooz making lots of enhancements to their firmware but...

It would be great if the ISY994i could query my Z-wave device version info and then do OTA firmware updates.

The latter has been announced for the Polisy unit, when equpped with the soon to be released (new) inboard Z-Wave dongle.
