Problem adding config for Aeotec Smart Energy Illuminator

Post by raym »

Hi guys.

I have added an Aeotec Smart Energy Illuminator to my DZ but I noticed there were no configuration options available:
Missing Config for Smart Energy Illuminator.JPG
Missing Config for Smart Energy Illuminator.JPG (36.69 KiB) Viewed 1278 times
Since this device shares the same configuration parameters as the Smart Energy Switch, I appended the existing config for this device ("ses.xml") to manufacturer_specific.xml as follows:
<Product type="0003" id="0008" name="Smart Energy Illuminator" config="aeotec/ses.xml"/>

Despite doing this though, and restarting DZ, I still don't see any configuration options.

Can someone advise me please on what I'm doing wrong? How do I force DZ to pick up this new config? I'm running Domoticz v2.3535 on Lubuntu.

PS The instructions I followed to add my new config are here: https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... ng-Devices and it says to remove the "zwcfg_*.xml file". I don't see a file by this name in my open-zwave/config directory. The only one that exists is called "zwcfg.xsd". Could this be the problem?

Thanks.

if you changed a configuration or the manufacturer specific file, you need to exclude en include your node again
if this solved the issue, it is best to post this on the openzwave forum so it will be integrated, else with the next update of domoticz, these files are overwritten

Thanks for your fast reply. Unfortunately, even excluding and reincluding the device hasn't helped.

What else could be the problem?

I will certainly post on the ozw forum once I get this device working...

The "zwcfg_*.xml file" should be under domoticz/Config rather than open-zwave/Config.

Thank you so much! That was it!!! I still clearly have a lot to learn about this fantastic software.

A related question... If I was to get and build the latest OZW source, do I also need to rebuild Domoticz? I'm still a bit confused about the best approach to take when updating both DZ and OZW on Linux.

Thanks again.

After updating and building OZW just do a 'make' on Domoticz and it will work it out for you everytime :D
