I already tried to repair, reset etc etc but nothing change. Stays off for two-three days and after.... bang, ON without sense.
Could be a fault unit or maybe an error in the xml? The flood parameter in the OWZW web gui is always at 254...
Heiman's stuff are tend to do this: their smoke sensor does the same (ie triggers without sense). You can try to report them this as an issue (they already corrected their buggy firmware for temp/hum sensor). Downside: you cannot upgrade the firmware by yourself.

I don't own this sensor, and according to my knowledge, fellow user micha_pr (http://www.zwave-review.com/tests/Heima ... sensor.php) haven't noticed this behaviour. So it's possible that your sensor is faulty or... are you really sure that it's not contacted with water (or any liquid, or dew?) Try remove it from the current place and place it somewhere else (ie a dry environment) to see what happens.

It depends on the usage. Does the door opens/closes a lot, or once in a while? If the latter, then it's possible that the battery is still at 100%. But you have to know that there's something fishy with battery reporting in openzwave (or domoticz, I don't know): there were reports in the past with other stuff not reporting correcly (or not reporting at all). Also, if possible, try remove the battery and do a voltage metering with a proper device. Then you will know the battery's actual voltage (and have an estimate if 100% is correct or not). In my own oberservation Neo's firmware is pretty good handling voltage, their stuff's are not battery eaters.

Yes, this is ok. The sensor is very good designed.
I have it since 3 months - and still a full battery (have checked with volt meter)

Only for information - this is wrong too. I will correct it also at OpenZwave within next days.
0x21C - this is isurpass, a manufacturer from Shenzhen, China (www.isurpass.com.cn).
Can be checked at Z-Wave alliance page.
I already have got a product list (with the id's) from them and will change it.

It's bad that "everybody" can insert wrong manufacturers in the manufacture XML without checking.

Isn't that possible Issurpass "lost" this id, or "sold" it? The only certified device from them is from 2015. Or am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong :)
isurpass is official Z-Wave manufacturer and Domux is an OEM.
you can look as sample here https://z-wavealliance.org/z-wave_allia ... companies/
or in product list - by manufacturer.

And yes, they have only one certified product - some in certification, some will be certified by the OEM with own brand.
There are some such identical products - certified with different brands ;)

BTW: new manufacturer will never get the same ID from Alliance...

I'm such an idiot: domux is an OEM, produced by Heiman.

Has anyone has a huge lag after hitting Light Switch? 1-3sec. Not in Domoticz, the switch itself.

Neo's light switch?

There's a slight lag - I would say around 1 sec (or less, didn't measure it), but I can live with that. But it's certainly not 3 seconds or so. Touch, clicking noise, light goes on.

Ok, I measure it: it's less than 1 sec here. Wild guess: maybe your bulbs need to "warm up"?

Have you checked your OZW network and also the logs? The clicking noise is obviously the relay which controls the lights, and it seems the command takes 2 seconds to route via your network. Pretty weird, I've just tested with my other switch and it's almost instantly routed (ie turned the light on).

I restored the factory settings (hold the button for 10 seconds) so no connection with z-wave network at all. But nothing changed. So next I will check in wall connection, and probably send it for RMA.

Yeah, pretty sure that's the wisest solution.

Did you need to do anything special to get the energy readings? I currently only get watt, but no kwh data seems to be logged. Tried to get it working by enabling "polling" and changing parameter "6. Configure power report: " to 1 but that doesn't seem to make a difference...

I have the same problem with my neo power plugs, when i exclude/include them again it is back but only a few days. They have been working correctly for months. Maybe this is the downside of cheap chinese plugs.
