Domoticz

Dear all,

How I can see which Domoticz device ID's related to which z-wave node?

For example: how does zwave node 047 (0x2f) 9.1 LR TV Power
relates to device 246 Zwave 00002F01 91. LR TV Power ?
I would like to find out which devices belong to the same node.

Best regards,
Dirk-Jan

I am not running this version of Domoticz, but I had made an initial PR to make it very simply to see, which was reverted and then made second PR which was implemented to make it easier to see which devices below to which ZWAVE unit: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/2664
Could be it has to do with not using the default theme or something, but I can't test that.

See here the lengthy discussion over this trivial change when you have some time: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/co ... t-30207219

Hello Jos,

Thank you for your answer. I also read the discussion on the devices overview and different mentioned tricks to find out which devices relate to which z-wave node. I must agree that the standard overview (I'm using Domoticz version 4.10717 - without modification) is very unpractical. One user sugested that when you put the HEX value of the z-wave node in the top-right search vision you will only see devices of that node but that clearly doesn't work. I get devices of which I'm sure belong to different nodes. I used a combination of logic to find out which device belongs to which node, e.g. comparing the last seen date of the node with the last seen date of the device, that devices belonging to the same node should have succeeding device numbers without other devices inbetween etc. All very cumbersome.

Also for other users I recommend the following. Before adding a new zwave node go to the devices webpage and write down the last device number. Now when you add a new node you know exactly that the new devices that get added belong to that single node. After adding the new node I made a screenshot of the new devices and saved in my administration. Also I manually renamed all the devices: adding the node ID.

Only downside: when I added one of the devices to the Domoticz Light webpage and gave it another name. It also changed the name on the devices webpage. Therefor its handy to keep the original screenshot as well.

Best regards,
Dirk-Jan

First screenshot after the new node: Second screenshot after renaming and adding one device to the Lights webpage:

I still believe that the zwave device should be visible in de devices view at minimum. The version I run I can click the zwave deviceid and get all belonging devices, but that was never committed due to the difference of opinion on the topic so I simply gave up on it.

So there are actual reasons to keep it this way? Amazing... I added some zwave sensors and other stuff some days ago. Some devices take a couple of days to show up (the temperature ones) so I checked this morning if all is complete. It is, but it so impractical trying to figure out which devices belong to which node. It is a waste of time.

What can I say other than you are "preaching to the choir". I know I have linked to a lot of stuff to read, but the common answer for not doing it is the same. ....But hey, the solution is simple and just takes a couple of minutes when you know which file to change, so why even bother wasting effort discussing this over and over again with the same outcome.

Understood, but that works nicely when you use the initial modification I posted and committed. That is why I recommend making that change instead of the highlight option which is currently in there.
