• If you select condition "Refurbished": Add Z-Wave Support for your Home Assistant with these refurbished Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2, a customer-returned unit (often from Amazon) that was used or even unopened, then returned for reasons unrelated to any hardware issues. We have inspected and tested each one: no hardware repairs were needed — every unit was already working perfectly. We simply performed a factory reset by flashing the latest available firmware.

When discovering Z-Wave devices in Home Assistant, the entry for this device may appear with the following message instead of the expected "Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2 "label:Translation [formatjs Error: MISSING_VALUE] The intl string context variable "home_id" was not provided to the string "Network {home_id} at {host}:{port}" Z-Wave". This is a harmless display issue and does not affect functionality. You can still select the entry to add the device—the setup process completes successfully. After adding, a temporary error may briefly appear in the Z-Wave integration, but it automatically resolves within a few minutes as the required add-ons install and start running. The device is then correctly detected and operates normally.

• If you select condition "No Box": These are the same as the Refurbished options but were returned without the original box, you will receive a fully working ZWA-2 Base, Antenna and USB Cable.
