Z-Wave DTHs: Changes to Encapsulation Handling Starting in 0.25.X Hub Firmware Release

There are devices which support/report both S0 and None for certain command classes (switches, locks etc). However when using S0 they won’t work well with certain command classes, so the DTH uses non encapsulated commands when sending messages as it’s more reliable for those command classes and secure for others.
Are you saying that now with 25.x the hub will automatically start encapsulating all these messages if the device reports that it supports it? If so, I don’t think that’s a good idea. The DTH should decide the best way to communicate, that’s the job of the DTH to see what works best for each device for each command class.
