Support domitech bulb and Forest curtain

Post by ceedebee »

I bought 2 domitech lightbulbs (ZE27EU) and included them in domoticz via aeon-labs usb stick on raspberry.
The bulbs are not recognized by Domoticz though. I'm running the latest stable version of Domoticz. On Github I found an updated version of the openzwave lib. Is it possible to update only the openzwave lib, without updating Domoticz to a beta version and how is this done?
And when updated, do I need to exclude and included the devices to get them recognized?

I also ordered an Forest curtain, not found in the openzwave lib, but I found another xml config file on pepper1.net. Is it possible to implement this file into openzwave?

I'm also wondering if it's just a matter of adding the xml file in the right directory to get it working? If so I will pull the trigger on a few of these.

You can add devices to your own installation at any time by adding an xml with the devices settings. But for everyone else to benefit, it would be best if you could submit your changes to OZW. You can read more about it here:

Thanks for the answers. I read about other users with the Forest curtains but they probably didn't send the xml file to openzwave.I don't have the curtain installed yet and was wondering if it was possible to include a xml file on forehand.
The Domitech bulb is listed in the openzwave plugins but not on my installation of Domoticz. The bulb is working (sort of), I need to switch on polling to get the right dimming value after switching on or off. It is then updated with a rather long delay.

The Domitech ZE27EU light bulb is supported as of today. I was really happy to discover that as I just got mine :-)
It seems to be responding fast (within about 2 seconds) but I have not tested alot. I have not activated polling or changed any default values.

It is not supported in my setup so I entered the xml file manually. After that I restarted Domoticz but the device is not recognized yet.
Do I need to include it again or should the device be recognized automatic?
