Are there any plans to improve the integration with openzwave?

Currently, there is not much feedback available to the API when adding/removing nodes except for viewing the openzwave log files and comparing state lists before and after.

Also, are there any plans to provide hot reloading of config files, instead of having to reset hass? Large zwave networks can take 10mins+ stabilise after a reset.

Contributions to improve Open Z-Wave integration are always welcome :)

We already allow reloading the most important pieces of configuration: groups, scripts and automation.

You allow reloading, but that is not the same as hot reloading. Love your work btw.

We reload right after you make a change in the UI. Seems pretty hot ;-)

If you want automatic reloading when a file changes, feel free to contribute a watchdog component to Home Assistant so people can hook it up themselves.
