I started automating part of my house some time ago and used an ezlo zwave hub, which is a small Linux box where you can ssh in. If you change the default 8char password that's printed on the box, it resets to default upon reboot.
That's their answer per why:
> Unfortunately, the current configuration of the controller for networking connections will be taken back for default, including new credential set for SSH connections after a simple reboot because of security reasons
- Larrikin 3y agoWhy wouldn't you go with Home Assistant? When I was researching, there basically seemed to be no other competent solution that worked across devices. The only other reliable solutions seemed to force you to lock yourself into Apple or Google's ecosystem
- ilyt 3y agoI wish there was better designed competitor. I don't like the all-in-one blob architecture as any upgrade is pretty much "your automation will not work during it", and there is no good way to run it in HA. I'd like to see some that have separate "rule running engine hub" (that can be run in some kind of active/passive HA) + "UI/editor" (that if required can be run on separate machine so the "hub" could run on even weaker hardware if needed)
- charles_f 3y agoMostly cause I wanted something boxed where I don't have to invest too much time. But yeah I regret that decision now.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoBecause of security reasons they're reverting to a default password? That has to be the most insane thing I've read in a while...
- charles_f 3y agoYeah, that was my answer > “for security reasons” is a pretty bad reason to reset the password to a default 8 characters printed under the box!
