Unknown device

Post by raptorjr »

I'm not very active in the forum, so I am sorry for maybe asking in the wrong way.

I just bought and added a Z-wave Nexa ZPR-111 On/off device. It works, but is marked as Unknown in the device list. Is there anything I can do or any information I can supply to get Domoticz to recognize it properly?

Thank you.

Are you using Zwave-JS-UI or the old OpenZwave integration into Domoticz? As the OpenZwave project stopped Domoticz users are advised to migrate to Zwave-JS-UI (with MQTT).
See wiki https://wiki.domoticz.com/Zwave-JS-UI
See the old Zwave wiki for some background information https://wiki.domoticz.com/Zwave
Domoticz running on Udoo X86 (on Ubuntu)
Devices/plugins: ZigbeeforDomoticz (with Xiaomi, Ikea, Tuya devices), Nefit Easy, Midea Airco, Omnik Solar, Goodwe Solar

Thank you.

I didn't know that. I have just had my system running for a long time without having to add new devices. And have only updated whenever I got a message about it. So I'm definitely using the old system.

So you have 2 possibilities:
-Check all HW you have works ok with zwavejs & do the big jump to this labyrinthine system.
-Build your own OZW config file for this new device if documentation describes it correctly and add the link (device IDs <-> description xml) in manufacturer_specific file. This can be done quite easily using a similar device existing file. Instructions should be already existing in OZW github wiki.
At least this'll give you some time...
