• Saves the current configuration of the controller, stops the firmware running then restarts the controller.
• The firmware will resume running after the restart.
• All previous settings, configurations and database records are restored after the restart.

Removes all devices, resets settings, clears the controller logs from RAM, shuts down the firmware, then restarts them afresh. Does not reboot the controller.

Here’s a more advanced break-down for advanced users:

Runs updatecmd – soft_reset

• – calls stop.sh;
• – touch .zwave_reset_required;
• – migration_tool –reset_data;
• – rotate logs with label “soft-reset”;
• – calls start.sh

…then sets the firmware running again.

Erases all user data, settings and configurations and restores the controller to its original state. Unpairs all connected devices.

If the target controller is the primary controller for the network, resetting it will cause your Z-Wave devices to stop working. It will be necessary to exclude and re-include all your Z-Wave devices. If this controller is a secondary controller, use this procedure to reset it only if the primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

You can also reset Ezlo controllers using the buttons on the device itself. See the following pages for more guidance:
