The Z-Wave sniffer (Zniffer) and Advance Radio Tool (A.R.T.)
The Z-Wave sniffer (Zniffer) and Advance Radio Tool (A.R.T.) lets installers avoid the costs doubling. A.R.T. is the must have tool for installers allowing them to:
- Inspect Z-Wave packets1
- Decode and analyze Z-Wave commands1
- Decrypt secure Z-Wave commands (Security S0 and S2)1
- Generate Z-Wave commands2
- Make on-site signal strength probes2
- Gather network statistics1
- Probe the network using multiple Zniffers2
Zniffer/A.R.T. can work with any Z-Wave controller: Z-Way, Fibaro Home Center, Yubii, Vera, Smart Things, Zipato. It can be complemented with the Z-Way network diagnostics tool or work as a standalone tool. With Zniffer/A.R.T. an experienced engineer can do remote assistance to a junior colleague and instruct how to solve on-site problems.
A.R.T. software requires RaZberry 7 or Z-Uno 2 as a hardware. To enable the new feature a new firmware (version 7.26 or upper for RaZberry 7 and 3.0.9 for Z-Uno 2) and an additional license are required for this feature. Various operating systems are supported: Linux (Debian Buster and upper, Ubuntu 21.04 and upper, 64 bits), Windows (10 and upper, 64 bits), Mac OS X
A.R.T. can decode secure packets (network key need to be learned from the primary controller by including into the network or by exporting keys), parse received Z-Wave command, construct and send Z-Wave commands.
