Domoticz

Hi all!

I’m moving from my LightwaveRF setup - to z-wave+

I’ve got a aeotec gen 5 usb stick.

I’ve successfully added a aeotec gen 6 plug - in hardware > openz > setup > added node.

But when I go to “devices” - I don’t see the newly added plug.

Eventually I got it to work - but is there an easier way of getting the new nodes to appear in devices?

(Does domoticz allow reporting of energy usage for plugs - or do you need to add a separate “utility” for each?)

Thanks for the help!

I solved the issue - i had to go to "Control Panel" in the drop-down options on nodes page.

Then I changed the device status to "on" within the open z-wave control panel.

This let domoticz see the new plug

Go to Setup->Devices. There you will see all the nodes added. This is where every node added to domoticz is listed. To the right on the page, you will see a green circle with a white arrow pointing right. Click on the green circle to "add device". This will let domoticz use that particular device. Zwave usually have multiple devices per hardware node.

The nodes added didn’t go to domoticz devices - that was my problem.

So they were being added to “nodes” under the openzwave:
But when you went to setup > devices - the new nodes were not under devices:
To get domoticz to “see” the new node as an unused device.

You had to go to openzwave control panel from the drop down in openzwave setup - and change the device state.
