Qubino ZMNHTDx (din smart-meter) relay stuck?
Posted: Wednesday 19 April 2017 18:01
Hello,
Does anyone use this module under Domoticz & managed to get the wired relay control works (the one using pins 4&5 ; did not try the IR one)?
It's OK on the measures side (kWh, I/V...), 2 switches appear after inclusion but none works.
Module works, because if I setup the external relay control possibility (using 1&2 inputs) it open/closes contact between 4&5... So that's basically a xml config problem or an OZW one?
Seller, that advertised this module as working under Domoticz, did re-test and confirms something was broken in the support. He also tested using Jeedom (also using OZW): Same problem.
So I'm seeking for good ideas...
Regards.
EDIT :
This module is really surprising: I can now do control the external relay, but only after only enabling the wired controlled one using parameter 100... But as this have an effect on endpoints, for module & domoticz to match, I had to exclude/re-include the module.
But that's not really the end: I immediately noticed that the relay command did not timeout anymore, but was not working at first try. But in a second try, would be OK... but with some timing constraints: Not immediately, but after a 4/5 seconds delay to be reliable.
So I made a Lua device script filtering some debug prints on this device changes and could see that, after my own (intended) switch trigger another one comes almost immediately (unintended), reversing mine.
I could enhance this device script to automate what was done by hand (same switch command send again after 5 sec) to get intended behavior but that's quite weird.
Qubino support answered quickly saying the module should be associated to lifeline group (which is the case), but when I told them the problem was clearly somewhere else & probably a buggy module one, no more news for now...
Well, if someone have a suggestion or a way to get in touch with some OZW specialist???
Otherwise, I'll will post my little Lua hack in case it helps others & recommend not buying this module if intended use is not limited to measurements.
