The Z-Wave component exposes two services to help maintain the network.
The Z-Wave component exposes four services to help maintain the network.
| Service | Description |
| ------- | ----------- |
| add_node | |
| remove_node | |
| heal_network | |
| soft_reset | |
| add_node | Put the zwave controller in inclusion mode. Allows one to add a new device to the zwave network.|
| remove_node | Put the zwave controller in exclusion mode. Allows one to remove a device from the zwave network.|
| heal_network | Tells the controller to "heal" the network. Bascially asks the nodes to tell the controller all of their neighbors so the controller can refigure out optimal routing. |
| soft_reset | Tells the controller to do a "soft reset". This is not supposed to lose any data, but different controllers can behave differently to a "soft reset" command.|
The soft_reset and heal_network commands can be used as part of an automation script
to help keep a zwave network running relliably. For example:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml automation entry
automation:
- alias: soft reset at 2:30am
trigger:
platform: time
after: '2:30:00'
action:
service: zwave.soft_reset
- alias: heal at 2:31am
trigger:
platform: time
after: '2:31:00'
action:
service: zwave.heal_network
```
