## Z-Wave updates
There has been quite a bit of progress on Z-Wave in Home Assistant.
- Add entities for node statistics so that users can more easily troubleshoot RF issues in their network
- Add support for Window Covering CC which improves support for blind tilt devices (fixes iBlinds v3)
- Fix notification CC sensor and button names
- Proper Indicator CC support (certification requirement)
- Optimistic state updates for multilevel switch entities (specifically buttons and switches - certification requirement)
- Add entities for config parameters so they can be included in part of automations (they were already supported in device automations but entities will give users more flexibility)
- We added better support for z-wave devices related to energy generation
Thanks to [@raman325], the integration reached platinum level 🏆 on our
[quality scale]. This means the integration now does things right according
to best practices which should mean a better user experience in general.
Z-Wave JS is now a platinum quality level integration 🏆
Have you ever turned on a Z-Wave light from the Home Assistant UI just to see
the toggle going off again after a couple of seconds, then after some more
seconds seeing it going back to on? This long-standing issue (that even got the
nickname flip/flop) for certain devices, that are slow to respond to their
state has finally been addressed.
For those of you that like to automate everything, you can now automate not
only the Z-Wave device state but also the device configuration. We added device
configuration parameter entities so that almost every Z-Wave device setting
is now available as an entity.
Not stopping there, we also added entities for device connection statistics,
which you can use to, for example, create a notification if a device generates
more than a certain amount of dropped messages. If you want to track
a misbehaving device, you can enable these sensors to view the history
of the connection performance.
In the background, [@AlCalzone] is working tirelessly on the [Z-Wave JS driver],
which is the foundation of our Z-Wave integration. Among other things, some
devices are now faster to interview during addition, and more devices
can be configured.
