Domoticz

Posted: **Friday 08 July 2016 22:05**

Hello,

after being fairly happy with Domoticz and a Fibaro RGBW controller, I recently thought I could use some new devices for added illumination benefit.
What I have running:
- Raspberry Pi 512MB with a z-wave.me daugther board, running Domoticz V3.4834
- the Fibaro RGBW dwarf

What I add(ed) now:
- an Aeotec RGB bulb
- a TapHome switchable plug (http://www.taphome.eu/en/easyplug-details.html)

Now I wasn't able to learn the new devices through Domoticz - it told me to 'press a Button on remote' while I don't have one. Triggering the inclusion on either of the devices didn't do anything either. So I included them through the z-way web interface which worked on first attempt. Both devices are controllable through zway. (Not as nicely as I'd like to though.)

So, for the real issue I'm facing:
The devices show up in the ~/domoticz/Config/zwcfg_0xsomehex.xml file in ~/domoticz/Config. Additionally, Domoticz actually lists them on startup:

Unfortunately though, only the 12 devices generated by the Fibaro RGBW show up in the devices list, no mention of the new ones. I've seen on another thread that it is possible to switch some z-wave sticks into debug logging mode. Alas, this is not offered for my z-wave.me board.
Do you have any idea what might've gone wrong? What kind of information could I supply?

You do have the option: Accept new Hardware Devices selecting in the Setup/Settings menu?

Yes, I do, I just had no idea how it was supposed to be used in conjunction with the "Learn new Light/Switch" button. Now that I permanently enabled accepting new devices, I at least got the TapHome device visible in Domoticz by pressing its hardware switch button. It sends its current state then (maybe among other data). Success!
The Aeotec bulb has no hardware buttons though. Simply turning it off and on with an in-wire hardware switch doesn't seem to send anything that would make Domoticz find it. And triggering in/exclusion doesn't work either through Domoticz's "Learn Light/Switch" button - it already is in the z-wave network anyway.
Do you have another hint how I could make that bulb visible?

I have the same problem. Devices are shown corectly in OZW but not correctly in domoticz. Devices are also not being created.
Any help is welcome.

Show a screenprint of OZW, because I could not find the Easyplug in the Config dir.
Do they present them selves as Fibaro?

See it as two steps action where you first include the device and make sure that it shows up in OZW and next go to Settings and look for Hardware/Device section and click "Allow for 5 Minutes". Now switch on for example the lamp you plan to control using the wall push button and put some load on the device and it should now show up under Domoticz Setup/Devices.
