New Qubino Z-Wave+ dimmer ZMNHDD1 now available

[bbqkees]

Yesterday I got the new Qubino Z-Wave+ dimmer.


It looks identical to the old one, and the pinout is the same too. Except the switches connect to the live wire instead of the neutral wire.

In the manual I found some new functionality.
The best one is that you can now use input I2 for a double mono-stable switch (3-state) so you can use one for dimming up and the other one for dimming down.

Also you can enable a double-click function to go to the highest dimming level instantly.

I am going to test the device this weekend with a new config file.

The flush dimmer works when connected to a Z-Wave Plus USB stick and with the configuration files in the attachment.
I could not get it to work with a non-Plus Z-Wave stick.
My colleague has it working just fine with the config files below and a ZWave Plus stick.

I have send the files to OpenZWave too, but in the mean time you can use the ones from the attachment.

How to use:

Step 1:
Exclude the device if you already tried to include it.

Step 2:
Put the file Manufacturer_specific.xml in
Domoticz root/Config/
(rename the old one as backup)

OR add the following line to the existing file in the Qubino section:

Code: Select all

<Product type="0001" id="0051" name="ZMNHDD1 Z-Wave Plus Flush Dimmer" config="qubino/ZMNHDD1.xml"/>

Step 3:
Copy ZMNHDD1.xml in
Domoticz root/Config/qubino

Step 4:
remove (or backup) any zwcfg_*.xml file and restart the Pi.

Step 5: include the device and it should be working.

Hi,

I was planning on ordering a couple of these dimmers but i just read this post. Do you have to have a Z-Stick gen5? I only have the older Aeon Z-stck controller. Was it this controller that did not work?

Kind regards Staffan

[bbqkees]

I have the Aeotec S2 stick, it does not work with that one.
So you need a gen5.

I got the new dimmer as a warranty replacement for an older Qubino dimmer but I can only control it via the switch on the wall.
I can include the new dimmer, but it shows up as 'unknown' and 'not reachable'.

My colleague has it working just fine with the above config files and a ZWave Plus stick.

Thanks for the effort! It looks promising. I tested it yesterday and noticed some things.

Why did you set the value of the first parameter to "1" when the default value is "0" ?

Code: Select all

		<Value type="list" genre="config" instance="1" index="1" label="Input 1 switch type" size="1" min="0" max="1" value="1">
			<Help>Default value 0.</Help>
			<Item label="Mono-stable switch type (push button)" value="0" />
			<Item label="Bi-stable switch type" value="1" />
		</Value>

Parameter 10, default value is 255, but the help text says the default value is 0.

Code: Select all

		<Value type="list" genre="config" instance="1" index="10" label="Activate / deactivate functions ALL ON/ALL OFF" size="1" min="0" max="255" value="255">
			<Help>Flush dimmer module responds to commands ALL ON / ALL OFF that may be sent by the main controller or by other controller belonging to the system.
			Default value 0.</Help>
			<Item label="ALL ON active, ALL OFF active" value="255" />
			<Item label="ALL ON is not active ALL OFF is not active" value="0" />
			<Item label="ALL ON is not active ALL OFF active" value="1" />
			<Item label="ALL ON active ALL OFF is not active" value="2" />
		</Value>

Also parameter 100 and 101 seem to be different to what the manual states.

Edit: I saw your update in the issue tracker on Github. Great! I hope it will be implemented soon so others can enjoy this without the hassle of editing the config file themself.

In the attachment the latest modified version.

in the original version I forgot parameter 4 and some default settings were wrong.

It's working here with fibaro home center lite. Haven't tested it with any other gateway. It should work with or without zwave+

[bbqkees]

It should work with or without zwave+

Maybe it should but not with my Aeotec S2 stick unfortunately.

[mbliek]

Maybe there's a firmware update needed? If they still update the firmware for these "old" sticks.

[bbqkees]

Last firmware update was years ago.

The config files have changed in the mean time.

Always we update the config xml, we need to reinclude the node?

This files could be the problem with the node always is dead?

I would reinclude the node when changing config.
This config has been succesfully tested with another type of ZWave stick, so it should be correct.

I added two new ZMNHDD1 devices and excluded and re-included three others succesfully as discribed.
They all work perfectly now, and the "older" re-included ones are fully configurably now.
Before they worked, but there were no options to configur them.

Thanks!
