Authentication issues

[mwittig]

I have some concerns about commit 6be1c90

1. Shouldn't authentication be optional to work with older versions of the z-way?!
2. defaults for userId and password doesn't make much sense to me unless admin / "" (empty password) is a kind of factory default.

Hi,

1. In my opinion it is better to force authentication for reasons of security.
2. I agree with that, but I am not sure what the factory default of z-way is currently. @thexperiments?

What's the conclusion on this?

My first point stays the same. According 2nd: I am using pimatic with a local user and localhost. So I don't need credentials there and those config options must be optional.

Thanks for the clarification. To make those config options must be optional the default values need to be replaced with required: false, or leave it as is if the z-way API accepts the default values.
