zwavejs2mqtt

[EddyG]

Currently the problem is not with zwavejs2mqtt or zigbee2mqtt they work fine and enough devices are 'covered'.
Currently the problem is with the auto-discovery in Domoticz. Basic devices are found correctly but a lot of 'special' devices are not yet.
It takes time to program all those 'special' devices. In my personal case some 25% devices do not work yet as they should.
I cannot make the switch yet because it is a production system and a lot of my 100+ dzVents scripts won't work anymore if I make the switch.
I just have to wait patiently.

error plugin

Hi,

Because I started to have more and more issues with my Danfoss thermostats for heating (they remained open becasue z-wave did not send commands to them anymore until a reboot , again and again) I started to play with this zwave project.
Looks nice, and I have the gui running in docker like described on the github page.
However I cannot get the plugin to work.
I did the git pull, requirments in the dir and all is installed. When starting the plugin the following errors come:

Can someone help me out? I see this error also in the topics but I cannot get it fixed.

Think i found the issue.

On the github page it says "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" but after using "sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt" my issue was gone.

I installed the plugin and zwavejs2mqtt after removing OZW. After some effort, I get all the devices back. I can use the devices for example a dimmer: I can change the setting or put it off (if on). But the devices are not updated in domoticz so if I put a device off , it goes off but stays on in domoticz so I cannot out it back on. So somehow the communication is one way. Only at startup the state of the devices is correctly read. ANy hints what can be the issue?

[heggink]

No idea. Switch on debug?

In the zwavejs2mqtt I think the changes are plublished if I switch of node 6:

There is a programme called mqtt explorer that lets you monitor mqtt messages. Look at what messages are sent from/to the broker.

Btw: native support is close to ready in the latest beta. With that, you don't need this plugin anymore.

I have some Neo Coolcam NAS-WR01Z powerplug which under OZW 1.6 always reported power, current and voltage.
I now have them running with zwavejs2mqtt and auto discovery on Domoticz.
Those devices are discovered, but the values are zero and remain zero.
The initial kWh from under OZW was present and could be reset to zero, but after that no more updates on those devices.
Am I overlooking something, is there a hidden setting?
Who knows the answer to get them display the right values in Domoticz?

[heggink]

I have 7 of them and they all work so there is hope . I found that the default config settings were not optimal so look at those (there is a switching that switches reporting on or off and the reporting interval). There is also settings that auto switch off the plug after a certain time. Just check all settings and, if need be, toggle then.
Finally, I have found that some devices need to be reinterviewed close to the controller in order to properly work (I had a couple of door sensor reporting "any" instead of "door-window".

I have set Send Meter reports to enabled and toggled it a few times.
I set interval to 30 seconds and set Power report threshold to 3%
Only the Electric Consumption [V] has a value of 236V.
The device does report but not on an interval of 30 seconds.
Will try a total reset of the device.

I updated zwavejs and, as of this morning, they all have issues

Security settings changed.

Exluding, TOTAL reset of the device, Including did the trick.

[heggink]

Reinclude and zwavejs restart and everything is back to normal. Weird... All plugs seem to report power again.

I found that also on my Neo Coolcam Pir's and Fibaro Pir's, re-interviewing did not solve the 'any'. What should that be named instead?

[heggink]

My coolcam pir's are also using the any device which is fine. It's just what the device does AFAIK.

I don't have a fibaro motion sensor so can't tell. My philio 4-in-1's are configurable to either use the notification or the binary sensor mechanism. It was quite a bit of work to figure out the correct setting but they now wokr really well. I could never get these to work properly in OZW.

In essence, having an "any" device may be OK though.

[EddyG]

I have one of those devices and it works but I don't have 17 subdevices. Zwavejs2mqtt supports them. The plugin only implements part of your 17 devices. I will look it up when I am at home again and pm you with the details. In terms of the autodiscovery, this is the next item on the list to implement. Hope to be able to test it soon.

Concerning: Thermostats: EUR_SPIRITZ Wall Radiator Thermostat+ EUROtronic 0x0001 0x0003

I wonder how you got those running in Auto-Discovery, because they don't function as the should. Domoticz send in my case wrong values.

[heggink]

Can you elaborate? I don't use all the functions but the basics work fine. The HA template is not entirely correct causing it to create a dimmer device as well but I do have a functioning thermostat device

I have a thermostat mode device with Off/heat/cool but they don't work not to wards Zwave as coming back from Zwave.
A change by mqtt does nothing....

[heggink]

I don't use that device. Thermostat valves like the eurotronic have no use for that mode as it's only a valve with a tem sensor. It cannot cool anyway so I just disabled that device. It looks like it's not well defined in zwavejs. You have 2 options: edit the HA definition in your installations (look up the node, select home assistant on top and edit the modes) or see if you can get it adapted in zwavejs. Personally, I just set it to unused and motivate Giz to disable any errors it reports.
