Basic Wall Controller not recognized?

Post by Marcjeok »

Hi All,

I received a Zwave basic wall controller (ordered here: https://www.robbshop.nl/wandzender-2v-z ... obb-smarrt, the manual can be found here: https://www.robbshop.nl/amfilerating/fi ... le_id/816/) a few days ago. After adding the device to my Zwave controller, Domoticz shows the device like this (Setup > Hardware > Setup Zwave controller):

--> Description in image: Basic Wall Controller

No new devices are emerging (Setup> Devices). Normally it take some time to show the device properly, but in this case it's not showing the device properly after two days. Is this fixable for me or does this means that the device is not supported by Domoticz?

Thanks in advance!

Did you enable "Accept new hardware devices" ?

Thanks for your reply! I forgot to mention this in my first post; yes I enabled to accept new hardware devices. Just to be sure, I just pressed the button again, but unfortunately nothing happens.

Hereby also some information about my Domoticz (just in case):

I added an another device to my Domoticz (FIBARO System FGRM223 Roller Shutter Controller 3+) and this went well (see pictures below). Does this mean that the 'Basic Wall Controller' will not be recognized by Domoticz?

I found some more information. My reseller sales this device under his own brand. However, I think this is the real manufacturer:
https://www.sunricher.com/z-wave-series.html

When I look in the file 'manufacturer_specific.xml' in the domoticz/config folder (see code below) the manufacturer already exists. Apparently not with the correct XML?

Code: Select all

  <Manufacturer id="0330" name="Sunricher">
    <Product config="sunricher/srzv9001t4dimeu.xml" id="a10d" name="Touch Panel Wall Controller - ZSC-01D" type="0003"/>
    <Product config="sunricher/srzv9001k8.xml" id="a305" name="Wall Controller - SR-ZV9001" type="0300"/>
    <Product config="sunricher/zv9101.xml" id="d005" name="Dimmer ZV-9101" type="0200"/>
    <Product config="sunricher/srzv9101sachpeu.xml" id="d00c" name="Dimmer ZV9040" type="0200"/>
    <Product config="sunricher/srzv9003t4rgbweu.xml" id="a107" name="Z-Wave Wall Controller - SR-ZV9003T4-RGBW-EU" type="0300"/>
  </Manufacturer>[*]

If I'm right, when I want to make this work, I have to do two things:
1. Create a XML file with the information for this Zwave device (source: https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... ng-Devices)
2. Edit the file 'manufacturer_specific.xml' to add the device and refer to the created file

Unfortunately I'm not that technical, so I'm afraid I have to return this device back to my reseller. Can anyone confirm my findings? Are my thoughts correct or did I miss something?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same controller with 4 buttons. After updating to Domoticz 2020 .1 the controller is not recognized anymore so i had to reverse the update. I also found the new manufactor but still no solution for the problem. I'm going to try the new Domoticz version 2020.2. Have you already found a solution?

Thanks for your reply! Very good it's working for you again! I also update to version 2020.2, but unfortunately with the same result (not recognized). I'm going to send the device back to my reseller :cry:

After contact with my reseller I excluded the device and included it again. Now it works :D

It's not working perfectly if you ask me. At the hardware tab the device is shown as:
Included second time.PNG
Included second time.PNG (13.84 KiB) Viewed 1711 times
--> Unknown: id=0330 Unknown: type=0300, id=a307+

There are two Devices added and both are configured as a switch. Both switches stay at 'On', regardless of the buttons I press on the devices itself. However, with Dzvents it triggers the event depending on the button I press on the device. So it works for me now.

Now you could try to :
Go to Hardware / Zwave settings / Select this node and press Refresh Node info to see if the text is now correct (vernieuw node info in Dutch), maybe the correct info is now displayed....

I did this yesterday and nothing seems to happen. Today I noticed that the configuration part was lost and when I pressed the buttons nothing happened any more. Somehow it lost his configuration. I excluded the node and included it again and now it's working again. Hope it stays like this... :roll:
