Apologies if this is covered, my search was inconclusive.

My controller appears LR-aware internally and I am able to add using DSK value, but I don’t see any user-facing way to enable or verify LR. Is LR currently supported on eisy, and if not, is it planned? I have a single device that would benefit.

TY

@walkman9999 what z-wave controller are you using?

Receipt states:
ZMatter USB: Z-Wave+, Zigbee, and Matter Module for eisy (Z-Wave+ Certified - Long Range)i

To use Zwave LR the device must be included with S2 AUTHENTICATED security enabled.

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to determine if a device was installed as Mesh or LR as the include process doesn't appear to offer that option

Found this on the web:

SmartStart Requirement: Z-Wave LR requires inclusion via SmartStart (scanning a QR code). If you added the device using the "classic" manual pairing method (pressing a button on the device), it was almost certainly added as a standard Mesh node.

Well I added a Weiser lock using it's PIN code (printed next to the QR code). The node title shows "Door Lock [S2 Access] [S0]"

Just now, Guy Lavoie said:

When adding it by pressing the pairing button, a pop up appeared in admin console saying the lock was requesting S2 security, with a checkbox for both S0 and S2 (both checked). It would only let me proceed with the S2 box checked if I entered the PIN code.

I have started using smart start via the UD iPhone app which lets you scan the QR code, and I choose s2 when I am offered the choice. I have not been able to determine if it joins the device as a p2p link or mesh.

I have read Michel comments that there is no official support, I am just trying to understand if there is comm/protocol support for LR since I have a use case that may require it.

thanks for feedback and info.

Typo

The UDI Zwave/Matter/Zigbee board is Zwave LR certified however the current eisy/polisy firmware appears not to support Zwave LR, only Zwave mesh

The following is from the web:

To include a Z-Wave Long Range (LR) device without using mesh, ensure your controller (700/800 series) has firmware that supports LR, set the controller region to "US-LR", and use SmartStart (scanning the QR code) to provision the device, specifically selecting the "Long Range" protocol instead of mesh. LR devices communicate directly with the hub, bypassing mesh routing.

Hi,

Do you by any chance have any experience with Kwikset 620 series (Z-Wave Long Range version)?
https://www.amazon.com/Kwikset-HomeConnect-Convenient-Customizable-Contemporary/dp/B0DWGF32GD?th=1

I have currently 4 Kwikset locks (910 series - regular Z-Wave) and ancient ISY-994ZW (4.9.0)
Despite of my all troubleshooting efforts, which included but was limited to adding extra Aeotec Range Extenders,
the connectivity between ISY and Locks was always flaky. Few years back, I decided to give it up, and all my locks
were standalone (offline). Now, after 8 years, the locks are worn out because of exposure to elements, and needs to be replaced anyway.
This time I am ready to replace ISY with eisy r2 hardware, and want to make everything working again from a new start.
That is why I am on the market for new locks. But after reading this thread I am confused.

Are Kwikset 620 Long Range version going to work with ZMatter USB dongle and eisy r2?
If it is not supported or possible to provision them in LR mode, would it be possible to fall back to regular Z-Wave mesh?
Is it worth to buy LR version and wait for future upgrade to eisy r2 firmware to provide LR support (LR version is actually cheaper)

Or I am going in a completely wrong direction and I should look at something else altogether?
One think about my installation worth noting is that I have about 100 Insteon devices, and I need to support them.

Any recommendations or thoughts?

Thanks,

Przemek

Even though the Zwave/Matter board is Zwave LR certified it appears that the current software doesn't support LR. I have an open ticket and should know more next week and will post the results
