Domoticz

Anyone been able to controll another node with the neo coolcam switch?
I have a "Neo CoolCam Wall Switch (2 channels)+" where I want switch #2 to control a "Neo CoolCam Power plug 12A+".
I have assigned group3 in the switch to the powerplug (as shown in dump), but it wont work.
Although as you can see in the dump it does not seem like the switch is comunicating with the plug (marked in green circle)

Help and tips is very appreciated

@nisak: The circular diagram does not indicate which device communicates with what other devices. It indicates the available direct routes between devices. 2 devices do however not need to be connected directly to communicate with each other. Even if no direct link exists between 2 devices, they can still communicate with each other via another device that both can communicate with. In this case the intermediate device simply receives the sending device's information and sends it on to the receiving device and vice versa. And it doesn't even stop at a single node in between: there can be up to 4 hops between the 2 devices. This is called a mesh-network.

Your conclusion that the switch doesn't communicate with the plug seems therefor incorrect. The both devices do communicate, but they do not understand each other. This is -as far as I know- because of a problem in openzwave, but it may as well be in domoticz. Nobody has responded to my question on this same topic: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 66#p166466. The problem is that this "Neo CoolCam Wall Switch (2 channels)+" is a multi channel device (technically it even consists of 3 channels), but your associations dialog (the right part of your picture), does not allow you to create associations for a multi channel device. If you run the beta version of domoticz, you see that the number in "Gruppe 1" is not "1", but "1.1" for multi channel devices. This apparently indicates that channel "1" of this device sends its notifications to device "1", the controller. I think this is an improvement over the stable version. However, I also think that this is not completely correct yet. I have exactly the same devices, the "Neo CoolCam Wall Switch (2 channels)+" and the "Neo CoolCam Power plug 12A+" in my setup, and one of the 2 channel wall switches even happens to have device id 030 like yours too. So I'll show you what it looks like in my beta domoticz: As you see "Groep 1" now has "1.1". Plus there are now *5* association groups:

• lifeline

• On/Off S1

• Dimmer S1

• On/Off S2

• Dimmer S2

I have no idea what to use the "Dimmer Sx" groups for (this device is not able to dim the lights), but the idea for the "On/Off Sx" groups seems pretty clear: if I add a device id in group 2 - "On/Off S1", that device should be switched when the left switch is switched. A device added in group 4 - "On/Off S2" turns On and Off with the right switch. I will test this tonight when I am at home and let you know the result. If it works, updating to the latest beta and excluding and re-including should solve your problem.

My problem is however the other way around: I want to control one of the both channels in the 2 channel switch from a (single channel) PIR device. The dialog does however not let me enter the "x.y" notation into a group that is on a single channel device. So I would think I need to enter "30.2" into group 2 - "Control COmmands BASIC_SET" on device 029 and the light attached to S1 should turn on and off when the pir device is triggered. However, if I enter "30.2", every time the ".2" is stripped off and only "30" gets inserted into the association group. And the light doesn't switch off and on . I haven't been able to figure this one out and think it is a bug... The same setup does work when I use the same PIR and a single channel wall switch. For now I use a script for the 2 channel switches, but that causes annoying delays sometimes and it stops working when the controller is down... I would like to use associations for multi channel devices too.

B.t.w. I've had the same problem in my kitchen and worked around it by writing a dzVentz script. This actually works even better. z-wave associations works only in one direction: if the slave switch toggles, the master switch is toggled too. If however the master switch is toggled, the slave doesn't automatically toggle too. This little script does toggle the slave switch too if the master gets toggled:. Replace the names of the devices in the top of the script by your devices names and paste the script into a dzVents event window. 'Keuken: Aanrecht' is my plug, 'Keuken: S2' is the right switch of a 2 channel wall switch.

In the circulair diagram with the nodes, you can click on one specific node, that displays only that interconnection.

Here you see where only node 2 is going to.

Heiman Smart Smoke Sensor HS1SA-Z+

Is there a way to launch these smoke alarms yourself, would be nice to warn people in the entire building when 1 sensor is activated?
And you can use them for the alarm system!!!

When you add the Heiman Smart Smoke Sensor HS1SA-Z+
you get 5 nwe idx, but nothing happens if you click one of them!

Regards

There is no way to activate the sensors internal siren. But think about it, do you not want to know where the source is? If all sensors sirens would be triggered at once you could get panic and nobody knows where the fire is...
A better alternative is to add external sirens that are triggered by all sensors. That way you will know where the fire is (the one sensor that activated) and all people in the building are alerted by the sirens (and lights).

Your're absolutely right, that's a good solution, but you need an extra component, the more fuctions with less components is also nice!
Thanxs for your reply

After 2 days i'm getting false alarms on the Heiman Smart Smoke Sensors HS1SA-Z, not the alarm of the sensor, but in domoticz i see there has been a fire, so it looks like they are not reliable!

Every idx of the sensors (2 sensors) has been switched on at the same time.
Every sensor at a different time!

Anyone else these complains?

I do see the same things it is a bit funny as the detector itself does not make a noise but only an alarm in domoticz

Same issue here. I have placed 2 of these since yesterday. This afternoon they both gave a false alarm. It was approximately 24 hours after commisioning them. Maybe it's some kind of selftest I'am thinking. There was almost half an hour between the 1st en the 2nd one when I put the battery in and included them in Domoticz . Concerning the false alarm today this gap in time was almost the same. I've got 5 different "sensor ID's" per smoke detector. Maybe the eventdata should be taken from a another "sensor ID".
Can somebody who is also using these devices compare in this situation?

I have updated the list of neo coolcam cheap devices at: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 99#p170299.

Similar experience here after I had installed them. Now I haven’t had an alert for the last 6 days anymore though.

Guess what....

Got a false alarm again this morning.
Maybe found sort of a solution. There are 2 on/off devices associated with this Smoke sensor. When I added both, and looked in the sensor’s logs, I noticed one of them only showed the on and offs matching the times I pressed the test button. So let’s see if there will be no more false alarms using the other sensor instance.

I was testing the same thing and it looks better with the other one selected

Also Heiman's CO sensor (HEI HS1CA-Z) does trigger one of its sensors at random times. This sensor has an id that ends in 2A and you better not trigger an alarm from this, as you will get false alarms. The sensor that is most useful -i.e. does not give false alarms- is the one for which the id ends in 00. Sadly this sensor doesn't report the devices battery level. So you still need to add both sensors to get the full experience.

NEO COOLCAM Z-wave NAS-WR01Z Wireless Smart Power Plug Socket kWh graphs stopped working, discussing a couple of pages back:

has anyone resolved it? Re-pairing doesn't help. Full zwave controller reset hasn't been done yet.

Also, a question outside this scope, has anyone actually changed the security key on controller, or left originally set:
actual: 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0.....***

Any security breach on this one?

Today until March 30th 2018, there is a sale on aliexpress with great discounts. For example coolcam's power plug:
NEO COOLCAM NAS-WR01ZE z-wave EU Smart Stekker Socket Domotica Alarmsysteem home for only 19.17 euro if you order via the aliexpress app. Get them while they last

I've already ordered 4 times multiple items from this shop "Coolcam Offical Store" already and I can tell you their service is excellent. They ship the items very fast and they respond fast -even during the weekend-. When one of my plugs became defective, I had to send a picture of the plug and received a new one after a few days. The packaging of the items is a bit cheap for our standards (they usually ship the item in the box, wrapped in bubble plastic and a plastic sealing bag), but if anything get's damaged in transport, all you need to do send a message and a new one will be resent. So I can really recommend this shop. And no, I don't get anything for this promotional talk, I just want to share with you this very good offer (I've already ordered some more plugs and switches for myself ).

Has anyone seen a chinese (cheap) z-wave temperature sensor? Neo doesn't seem to have one on their pages.

Thanks - Rowan

unfortunately not, for that I had to switch to XIAOMI temp sensors and ofcourse the Xiaomi gateway

Neo's NAS-PD02Z is sometimes advertised as having a temperature sensor and its priced as 20.84 a.t.m ((link)). I have not tested this device myself though and one the "Official Coolcam Store" the device is sold but there is no mention of a temperature sensor in it.

One cheap sensor from another brand and store is Z-wave Temperatuur & Vochtigheid Sensor Smart Home EU Versie 868.42 mhz Z wave Smart detector. Proced at 20.60 euro. Also for this one I can't talk from experience; I haven't tested the device nor the store. This store does have lots of coupons, so you may get an even better price. Let us know your experience on the device and the store if you decide to buy it .
