Domoticz - OpenZwave USB

Post by admir92 »

Hi everyone

I am using PAT02-1B z-wave sensor. I am controlling the sensor and receiving data by connecting Z-Stick Gen5 z-wave USB controller (OpenZwave usb) to my LapTop (I have to use Windows and not anyother system for some particular research reasons). As a software I am using Domoticz. I've already added the Usb controller and sensor to Domoticz.

Where's the problem?
When I do measurements the sensor works for an hour only and shows measured vaules (each 5 minutes), then it stops refreshing the graph of Temp&Hum and I need to delete the sensor, re-install the sensor again and it shows for 3 or sometimes even 5h of measured values, meanwhile I need to do long 10-24h long measurements. I try to enter the Control Panel through Hardware Setup -> Drop down menu in nodes -> Control Panel but there I cannot enter any values and almost everthing is frozen. I cannot do any configurations at all. The only thing I can change is the wake up time and polling through Domoticz interface but I need to be able to change the time in between each measurement and how often to send measured values. Could anybody instruct me a little bit with this please?
It is an urgent case since I need to test this sensor ASAP. Is there any way how to set up such settings and parameters?

Thanks a lot!

quick tip, check that you disabled the power options in windows (power management).... no sleeping/or power down usb devices

Yes I do. I did that before starting to test.
What I am exactly interested is to access such panel (in Windows) where I could "Play" with the sensor & change the above mentioned parameters (time of meas. & time of sending the measurements, interval between meas. )

Thx again :)

@admir92 , did you manage to get that sensor to work properly with Domoticz?

Now I am able to keep the sensor ON all the time, make and save continous measurements but I am not able to change the time in between data is trasmitted or the time of each measurement.
Not so far :/....Could be great if you guys could give me any hint.
