ZMNHCDx with Domoticz partially working

[helppp]

Hi All!

I have 2x ZMNHCDx modules here and want to use them to control my shutters on the outside of the house. When adding new hardware I only get one 'level' switch added, this controls the "Q2" connector, but I cannot control the Q1 feed. It simply is not added.

What I have tried;
- exclude module -> add it again; same devices added
- reinstall Domoticz -> even with clean install, same devices added (only Q2 control possible)
- Google for hours and hours, all suggestions (different config file, same result; no secondary 'level'
- Tried all devices as 'level' and see if maybe one was mapped wrongly -> not the case

This issue is with both modules, brand new, so I don't think this is an RMA module, but rather Domoticz! I can see many people using Domoticz with this module, so I must be doing something wrong ... but whát?

Thanks for any advice!

Hello,

https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... MNHCDx.xml

1st check if your config file is up to date (didi not changed since 7 month, but inclusion in Domoticz embedded OZW may extend this delay), maybe this was already done after googling, indeed... But you may have missed that when a device is added with one conf file version, it gets added on OZW conf cache file for added nodes and never checked again for base conf file change!

=> Stop Domoticz service, edit the OZW cache conf file (don't remember the name & not at home, but should be easy to find, something like ozwcfg_???.xml ) to remove all nodes xml data (bock between <node and /node> if I remember correctly), then restart Domoticz service. OZW cache config wil be rebuilt for removed nodes.

Take care to respect whole file syntax (keep a copy in case of error). You may remove whole file, but restart will be longer (+ if conf file changes since some devices inclusion cause issues, you'll run into them).

Hi Lost, thank you very much for your reply! I indeed tried this; remove (exclude the module), replaced the configuration file for ZMNHCDx.xml + remove the cache config file, reboot and thén re-included the module. Still I just have one 'level' switch when the hardware is added under 'devices' page in domoticz. Anybody has a clue how I can debug this?

Seems there is something wrong. This is with a clean configuration file (I did a complete reset for the AEON Z-Stick gen 5), excluded the module and reinstalled domoticz. Still a no-go! Anybody? I tried now with a clean Domoticz stable ánd beta version, both only a single switch is added, not for the other port. Same for both modules, so pretty sure it is not an RMA.
