Hello,
Could someone please tell me how to edit /etc/cmh/zwave_products_sys.xml ?
Thanks!
Are you talking about accessing the file or understanding it’s syntax?
As an aside have you tried this plugin (which I haven’t):
Repository Hosting and search for “MiOS Update Utility”.
I would be interested to see if anyone has found it useful. I would like to see a before and after compare of the files, to see what the latest updates are. As such - I have attached my current version of this file. If you try the plugin, could you kindly post yours.
IMHO acquiring Z-Wave device updates should be a built in function - say accessible in the same web page area as the firmware updates in Vera.

i have… nothing changed. just checks for new version on reload of vera
good point to have it incorporated into firmware page 
you can have 2 files of the zwave_products_sys.xml one in system itself and one manually added, they get merged on vera startup
I need to modify the file to fix HSM100-S3 sensor issues:

My Vera 3 recognizes the sensor, but does not get temperature or light levels from it.
I can SSH into my Vera as root, but what is the default text editor? (I’m used to using nano on Debian).
Thanks!
If you have a Windows PC, try WinSCP. This provides an FTP-like interface to copy files between PC and Vera and includes a reasonable editor which can edit xml files directly in Vera file system.
If you enjoy old-fashioned screen editors, then [tt]vim[/tt] appears to be part of the basic installation. However, [tt]ssh[/tt] and [tt]scp[/tt] are a useful combination. If you’re going to tread this path, then you might find it very handy to set up a SSH keypair between your development machine and Vera by running [tt]ssh-keygen[/tt] (not on Vera) and copying the public key to Vera [tt]/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys[/tt] as described here:

This will enable you to [tt]ssh[/tt] / [tt]scp[/tt] to your Vera without having to remember your root password to login or copy files across.
winscp can also store ur root login and password which is much easier imho
