Aeotec Alarm 6 and Doorbell 6

[Atis]

Hello, I installing the doorbell yesterday. I have big problem with new domoticz version. Can not change zwave device parameter and can not grouping.
And In web gui can not view all doorbell settings. I see all config parameter in control panel. I think this is bug.

Hi,

I'm not sure I'm allowed to share the download link here directly. But I just googled for "Z-Wave PC Controller 5.38 download" and found the download link in a openhab forum thread about the new UZB dongle.

@Atis, I suggest you read this thread from the beginning. By now nobody is able to change the settings inside domoticz.

Or does anybody take a step forward with the new stable 2020.1 and can change tone, volume, etc. inside domoticz?
By now I didn't exlcuded and included the doorbell for a test.

Hi,

good news - I'm able to use all 30 tones from Doorbell 6 in domoticz with the new release (2020.1.11804 / 2020-03-22 ) which includes OpenZWave version 1.6 !

The long story short ...

Code: Select all

curl --data "$NODE-BASIC-basic-byte-1-0=$NUMBER" http://127.0.0.1:8080/ozwcp/valuepost.html

$NODE .... replace this variable with the Doorbell 6 Node_ID (Setup->Hardware->OpenZWave USB click SETUP - search for your Doorbell Node ID in decimal)
$NUMBER ... replace this variable with the number of tone you want to play

example: curl --data "13-BASIC-basic-byte-1-0=1" http://127.0.0.1:8080/ozwcp/valuepost.html

I'm sure there are other ways but with my setup (Linux and Raspi) I'm happy to run this command in a shell script which is triggered by domoticz.
I still dont know how to change volume or change light effects but for now after many hours of reading and reverse engineering I'm good for now.

In this thread there is described how to change the volume.

Hi raymond,

I just try to get all information / steps into a screenshot:
Doorbell Config Change.png

The send button is hidden by the Select Command window.

You can see that the SoundSwitch creates 8 different devices. Each device configure one trigger action.

The volume can be changed from 0 to 100 dec and the sound from 0 to 30 dec.

Yes it's explained how to change the volume with a windows computer and for a simple use. But I'd like to be able to change the volume within domoticz siren should be loud, fire alarm also but with another tone. And doorbell should be not so loud

I think that would be a matter of time.
When we started this topic there was no Wave 1.6 support but in the current version there is.
I'm watching the new beta's carefully for this support....

Hi,

My setup is Domoticz 2020.1 on a Raspberry PI 2 b.

Thanks for the tip, I tried the curl commands on my Doorbell 6, but there was no sounds ( it works if I press the physical doorbell button or move the device, tampering )

One of these devices ( IDX:s ), these are the only Doorbell 6 devices I have.


I have tried these commands in Windows 10


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

curl --data "$NODE-BASIC-basic-byte-1-0=$NUMBER" http://127.0.0.1:8080/ozwcp/valuepost.html

I got this to trigger the my Doorbell 6 ( first I tried to use IDX:s instead of NodeID ), each time I trigger the url ( using dzVents ), I got errors in the log, like this:

2020-04-15 22:19:28.018 Error: OpenZWave: Value_Changed: Tried adding value, not succeeded!. Node: 5 (0x05), CommandClass: NO OPERATION, Label: Browse Tones, Instance: 1, Index: 1

Should I be worried about this?

[pdg007]

-> these are the log entries by playing tone X (="Browse Siren: Active")

As we can see there are unhandled classes !
After some time (sometimes hours, sometimes days) the command "curl --data "$NODE-BASIC-basic-byte-1-0=$NUMBER"......" does *NOT* work anymore !!!

I made a complete fresh installation with just Aeotec ZWave USB Gen Stick and the Doorbel 6 to eliminate other issues, but again after a while the command does not work anymore. I also copied the newest Open Zwave XML files for Aeotec from Github into the installation, but no success.

How can I increase logging ? Are the following lines the most detailed logging I can define ?
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -loglevel 3 -debug -verbose"
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -debuglevel hardware, received, webserver, eventsystem"

Got my Aeotec doorbell yesterday. Did a quick install yesterday evening and hardware is correct in Domoticz. Only the volume is very hard when pushing the doorbell. Whole house is freezing .

Going to try to set the volume settings as described on a windows laptop.

When checking the config in the zwave controller I am not able to save / update my settings:

I see this in my logging of domitcz:
2020-04-16 15:29:28.885 Error: OpenZWave: Value_Changed: Tried adding value, not succeeded!. Node: 19 (0x13), CommandClass: NO OPERATION, Label: Doorbell 1 Tones, Instance: 3, Index: 1/

Got mine in today, have the same as you, changed volume (man, is that thing loud!) and the tone with the PC, I have 2 buttons, and set each one on a different sound.

[Stimpy68]

It's a shame that the buttons are not recognized by RFXCOM, I have 2 of the them, one at my gate and one at the frontdoor, They have different chimes now. But I have a blockly that sends a snapshot of the security camera at the gate to my phone through pushover. But prssing the doorbell at the frontdoor does the same off course. So would be nice to have the buttons as seperate buttons in Domoticz. Oh well, first world problem

[pimseb]

I've received my doorbell 6 today and already tested it a little bit. The curl command from pdg007 works very good. Thank you for the tip.
But the volume is way too high. I've tried to set up the maximum volume with Z-Wave PC Controller on my computer like Hencor told us to do. I've followed the 6 steps like on the screenshot. At the step 6 I've entered Volume 40 dec and Default Tone identifier 1.Then I've clicked on the send button. The command has been sent evidently to the doorbell successfully. But once running in domoticz, the volume is at its max again.
What am I missing ?
Thank you

My siren keeps on blinking.... anyone have the same issue?

[raymond1972]

Yep

[Stimpy68]

Yep

Hmmmm, strange

[Hencor]

My siren keeps on blinking.... anyone have the same issue?

The chime light pulses are a failure indication. For example it will blink in a specific rhythm when the battery of the outside button is empty.
In the manuel should be a discreption for that.

They are brand new... just a week old, but found this in the manual:

Low Battery LightEffect
If #1 Button is low battery, Chime Indicator Lightwill repeat cycle (ON 100ms, OFF 5s)
If #2 Button is low battery, Chime Indicator Lightwill repeat cycle (ON 100ms, OFF 100ms,ON 100ms,OFF 5s)
If #3 Button is low battery, Chime Indicator Lightwill repeat cycle (ON 100ms,OFF 100ms,ON 100ms,OFF 100m,s ON 100ms,OFF 5s)

Whenthe batteryvoltageof Button is lower than 2.8V, itis judged to be lowbattery.
When the battery voltage of Button restoresto over 2.9V, it is judged to return to normal.
Low Battery LightEffect will be activated when Chime detects the corresponding paired Buttonis lowbattery, and disappears after the battery returns to normal.Low Battery LightEffect has the lowest priority among all lighteffects, that is, it will be displayedwhen there is no other lighteffect.The Light Effectof the 3 Buttons are different. When multiple Buttons is lowbattery at the same time, the corresponding light effect of the Button with smallerButton number is displayed first.

Timed it, should be the #1 button (I have 2).

I removed the battery and put it back, blinking stopped for now.

I has a Siren 6 and was in the same your situation.
It worked again simply excluding the node, resetting the device (pushing the action button for 20 seconds), and including the node again.
I think the previous malfunctioning was due to the exclude/include node without resetting in the mid.
At the moment I think your workaround is the only solution that can make this device work (as a siren and choosing the tone) and I thank you for that!
