Adding z-wave... which device is which?

Post by jefft »

Hi,

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer to it, so I'm going to ask!

I added a razberry 2 z-wave controller to domoticz, using the OZW hardware layer. All fine after an hour or two of following the various forum posts to get it talking.

My controller already has a few devices associated with it, as I had it set up with z-way initially. Domoticz sees these and in the hardware setup page for OZW, it lists them with their ZW node IDs and device descriptions - nice.

When I try to add them to the switches and meters tabs and to name them, things get a bit weird. The devices setup page shows a load of OZW devices with no descriptions and no ZW node IDs. The ID value looks like it might begin with a long version of the ZW node ID in hex and maybe includes the command class or something, but I'm not too sure...

Simple question: [how] do these IDs relate and how do I tell which device is which?! :? :?

Thanks!

ps - I tried the "learn" function in switches, but it worked with only one of the 6 devices (although they are all switches or switch+meter).

Thanks! My search didn't turn up that page.

So it's as I guessed... in which case, any idea why devices 0E, 11 each show only one "Switch" device? Both are multi-channel devices; 0E is a Fibaro FGS223 with two physical channels, 11 is the FGS213 with a fake second channel. Is that likely to be related to a problem in the device definition in OZW or to something simpler like a domoticz newbie (me) not knowing where to look?
