Understand devices

Post by Plantje »

In my devices tab I have quite a lot of devices that I don't use. A lot of them are "Alarm Type" and "Alarm Level" that come from Greenwave powernodes.

Now today I have added another smoke detector, but it is hard to find it in the devices tab. If I look in :"Hardware" --> Open the settings of my Open Z-Wave USB Aeon USB, I can see that the NodeID is 052(0x34). But in my Devices tab I have completely different ID's. How can I relate the two?

Filter the device table on 34 or 000034

Ok, that is the only way? Currently that is a list that I can comprehend, but if I have a lot more Z-Wave devices it will become a mess I guess.
It would be a lot cleaner in the first place if not all Z-Wave devices had a "Alarm Type" and "Alarm Level" entry. I don't see the use of those and I have seen some other discussions on how to get rid of those.

Back to why I started looking at the devices in the first place. Now I have 3 smoke detectors in the network and I am able to get an overview of them:

I have added the third one yesterday. I don't see a battery indication. Is that the same as with a smart plug and indicating kWh? I just need to wait for a while before they get updated?

Ok, thanks. I guess the best thing to do is just play around with the parameters myself and start understanding the devices and how they end up in the network :)
