I got it - just add as an Activation Device to a Scene.

After reading some other threads I see that the answer is to add an Activation Device to a scene!

I'm just learning about z-wave and Domoticz, but I am amazed that handling button presses are so elusive! I have a dimmer (Aeotec Nano ZW111) that has two inputs for physical switches S1 and S2. dimmer.PNG S1 and S2 can be configured to trigger other nodes. settings.PNG The dimmer is called "Lounge ...

I seemed to have built up a collection of unused RGBW devices. Deleted them. I can use the new light now.

Nothing stands out in the log... 2017-08-12 16:28:20.207 New sensors allowed for 5 minutes... 2017-08-12 16:28:20.207 OpenZWave: Node Include command initiated... 2017-08-12 16:28:38.842 OpenZWave: Node Removed. HomeID: 3235667781, NodeID: 7 (0x07) 2017-08-12 16:28:38.868 OpenZWave: New Node added ...

Ah, that's good to know. In that case, the problem is that I just can't see the second globe in Domoticz. I can see it in OpenHAB, so I know it works. (I just tried OpenHAB to see if it works - I'm not running any other system in parallel or anything like that).

I included two new Aeotec Z-Wave bulbs to my network. The second bulb has been given the same ID as the first bulb. Is that a bug? It doesn't appear in the devices list either, so I can't use it. I've tried removing it and re-adding it, but it gets given the same ID each time. Any ideas? duplicate ...

I have managed to add other z-wave devices directly to the groups, but I am still curious if I can add Domoticz itself to a group somehow?

After hours of trying to solve this puzzle, I have discovered that S1 signals "Group 3" and S2 signals "Group 4".

How can I receive the events sent to these Z-Wave groups in Domoticz? Is it possible?

I have an Aeotec Nano Dimmer connected and working nicely with a clipsal bell press switch connected to S1. S2 is not connected to anything. In the config for the Nano I see that the switches S1 and S2 can be configured to power the load and or other nodes. From this setting I presume I can access ...

Thanks everyone. This is all working now. It seemed that by adding another device to the network things became more noticeably alive.

Then what? The USB device keeps flashing blue,yellow,red. I can't work out how to configure it.

Domoticz has picked up the model number correctly though, so it does seem to be working I guess. Also has green status tick.

How do I add a Aeotec Gen5 USB controller to Domoticz?

I'm new to Domoticz and z-wave. I just received an Aeotec Gen5 USB controller. I also have an Aeotec dimmer, but I haven't wired that in yet.
