Best way to include z-wave devices?

styfert · Post by **styfert** » Wednesday 17 June 2015 17:47

Hi all
What is the best/preferred method to include z-wave devices.

a) Use Domoticz (add node / add secure)
b) Use the OpenZwave control panel
c) Use the include button on my Z-Stick

Or does it not even matter?

When it comes to which order to include the devices; should i start with the devices closest to the z-stick/computer?
Battery powered devices as the last node(s)?

Finally; how does the "Heal network" function work? Is this some kind of route optimalization function (i can use if i move a device from one place to another)?

My network is very unstable, so i'll try building a new from scratch... Hopefully the "right way"

Thanks!

I have good experience by using 'C', the button on the stick. I would do hè battery powered devices last and start closest to the stick

Hi styfert,

Same as pvm, I used “c)” method with Z-Stick disconnected from the Raspberry to include my Qubino ZMNHBA2 devices and it worked ok.

Using “a)” one the Qubino devices were not recognized properly. I never tested “b)” method.

I didn’t paid attention to sequence and I moved my devices after inclusion without pb. Note that I have only 2 devices. That’s maybe why I have no issue. One is inside the house at around 4m from the Z-Stick. The 2nd one is outside at around 10m from the 1st device.

Hope it’ll help.

JC

Thanks!
Much better now. Used the z-stick button for inclusion. No dropouts the last two weeks

funny thing here is that I included the very first node with the button on the Z-Wave stick and the other ones with the 'Include Node' button on the control panel.
Now the first module connects directly to the Z-Wave stick and all other nodes connect via that first module.
And the first module is the furthest away from the controller and all other nodes are in the same room as the controller.
But it works very well.

It may work well, but If your "first" node dies, the rest of your nodes will also die.
You should try to include all your nodes with the z-stick button. Or maybe the heal network function will "re-route" your nodes?

Hi,
I heve one question.
After reset my RPI with Razzbery i lost all devices / all node.
Now i must log into web --- > hardware ---> Include node ...

I thing about new solutions.
I make new virtual switch

I will push this button and start including node but i don`t know What should I enter in field "on Action"

Please help me
sorry for my English

Go to hardware->your Zwave controller->Setup->Node Management->Include node.
Also press the include button on the node.
Keep in mind the distance between the controller and the node should be within 30cm.

if it includes correcly, the node will get a number.

Next go to Settings->Devices and create new devices in Domoticz from the ones you just got from the ZWave inclusion

Thanks for Your answer.
I know how to add device.
Now all be gut

: 6.JPG (93.23 KiB) Viewed 18219 times

But if I turn off Raspberry and after 15 min I turn it on , I lost all node.
I see device in control panel but i don`t see node :

I must again enter into hardware --> setup --> node menagment --> Include node.
if I had a router failure how i can Include node ?

Isearch another solutions e.g launching the process Include node by the physical button connected to GPIO in RPi.

e.g If Button is on --> turn on Include node process

it`s that possible?

If you restart the Pi and you 'lost' the controller that means it got another serial port ID.
You need to set the right serial port ID in the hardware menu.
If set correctly, your razberry should show up again.

The best option is to give the Razberry a fixed address. It is described here:
http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/PersistentUSBDevices

The router has nothing to do with the Razberry.

Thank`s for answer.
i try fallow the instruction on web https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/PersistentUSBDevices but i can`t found my device in this list.
I heve this Z-wave electronic board : http://gronahus.se/produkt/razberry/

I have used the domoticz interface to include all my zwave devices. Havent had any problems doing it that way.

Has anyone tried to include their zwave devices securly?

According to the instructions, devices must be included via the application.

Hi,
I still have a problem with Node`s so please help me.

Describe the problem step by step.

System:
Raspberry Pi B+
Domoticz
RaZberry (Z-wave)
Fibaro Multisensor [powered by a battery]

1. Connect the power supply to RPI

2. I log into the control panel Domoticz -->settings -->hardware and i see my OpenZWave

3. In setting OpenZWave USB i see any node:

4. Now i click Include node and after that i push 3x B-stick in my Fibaro motion sensor

5. Now everything is ok - I see FIbaro and I set WakeUp interval : 200

6 In my devices i See all Fibaro motion sensor: temp, lux, motion sensor ..

7. Now I disconnect power supply from RPi... and after 1 min again I connet the power to the RPi

8. After Reboot i`m wait 5-10-15 min and i log into the control panel Domoticz -->setting -->hardware
See what I see:

the system does not see the device Fibaro.. and i must again log into setting -->hardware -->OpenZWave setting --> include node --> push 3x B-button on Fibaro Multi sensor...

How do I make Fibaro is connected to a Raspberry automatically after reset..

On desktop :

On Domoticz -->setting -->hardware --> :

I am working with a raspberry Pi, Z-stick Gen5, all updated to latest version, BUT the Fibaro Single switch cannot be included. I have tried all of the above. What to do now?

Did you reset the Fibaro?

And after the reset tried to include by powering the switch?

So reset, take of the power, pres the include button on domoticz and then power the switch
