Node ID - device IDX/ID

[thomasbaetge]

Hi there,

this might be a stupid question, but I didn't find the answer so far:

how do I get from the z-wave node ID to the domoticz device IDX or ID??

I have a lot of sensors, some of which died, but I can not identify this relationsship.

Thanks in advance,
T.

Hello,

Usually, I get the node ID (hexadecimal or base 16 version, starting with 0x under parenthesis) under the hardware tab after selecting the tuning button of z-wave controller.

I then go back to devices and use the search text field (upper right) as a filter with the hexadecimal node ID (removing 0x prefix).

Then, if your node ID is 0xHh (with H/h in 0..9/A..F), you'll more easily spot node devices as their ID include this Hh (possibly prefixed with a variable nb of zeroes, usually 4), and 2 more digits (Dd) as a postfix. This helps make the link to IDx on the same line.

Take care that search does not target specifically the ID, so you may get lines from other devices, but this helps a lot.

thanks, but that did not work

what I did now was sorting the nodes by id and the z-wave devices by id and worked my way up through the devices, comparing battery levels and 'last seen' info as well. This way I was able to identify my devices.
my 2 cent: this z-wave stuff can go away, I will replace it by zigbee.

Strange, maybe my explanations were not very good but image inclusion is a pain (link to external hosting)...
Maybe zigbee is easier because 1 device = 1 function (so not that cheap)!
But loosing interoperability & having controllers/plugin evolution needed to handle specific devices reminds me RFXCOM... In the end???

I am no Zwave user but using http://<domoticz-server-IP>/json.htm?type=openzwavenodes&idx=controlleridx should give a long list with also the IDX in it (although I am not sure it is the same IDX you are looking for)

Your explanation was good, it simply did not work for me. I thought there would be a 1:1 relationship visible, but I could not find it. Anyway, I identified my devices

thanks, tried that one, but did not find the device ID or IDX. The idx given there is the z-wave node ID.

Following this discussion the Node ID is part of the Device ID and should highlight (when hoover above it?) when using default theme.

But apperantly is does not anymore (I cannot test it)

Edit: it should look something like this:

I have updated the ZWave Wiki page to make it more clear.
Also please indicate if you see the highlighted Node ID's on your device list as there is some confusion about this.

Thanks a lot, that worked for me
