So,

Its been a while since I have been able to work on this project. Long storey short, workhorse got deaded, got new workhorse.

Now I have a new machine (an M1 Apple Product if your interested)  
I present node-red-contrib-zwave-js **6.4.0**.

6.4.0 focuses on the final implementation of S2 security, in the form of Smart Start 🥳 .

That's right! you can now add your devices to the network using only its QR Code.

Testing shows, doing this on a large number of devices can cause USB sticks to struggle with bandwidth - especially when all your Smart Start devices are trying to get interviewed at the same time - so keep that in mind - Do Smart Start includes one at a time (allowing devices to fully interview)

Here is the gist for 6.4.0:

**Fixes**

- When a new node appears in the UI list after it gets added to the network, its battery is correctly reported.
- Fix potential crash, if **Remove Failed Node** is called twice for the same node.
- Device nodes now clone the received network message, removing a situation where filter node outputs,  
are affected by other device nodes having the same interest in the object.
- Account for 3 digit node ID's in UI
- Fixed `event-filter` ignoring `strict `mode

**New Features**

- Implemented Zwave S2 Security Smart Start.  
This includes a new mobile UI, allowing you to use it as a device inclusion tool.
- Expose further driver timeout options

**Changes**

- Controller ready checks are now made prior to showing any UI modal form, that may depend on the controller.
- The battery icon in the node list is now updated, whenever a device transmits an update.
- JSON Keys are now quoted in the UI monitor
- The **timestamp** value in event messages are now the time in milliseconds from the unix epoch
- Bump ZWJS to 8.8.2
- Bump serial port to 9.2.8

Enjoy!
