Is Z-wave multichannel supported ?

Hello all,

I'm sorry if the answer is obvious, or my question has already been answered...

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B running last stable version of Domoticz 2020.1.
With a Z-wave USB stick from Cyrus Technology.
I have 4 Z-Wave devices which I could properly include in the Z-Wave network.
-Fibaro flood sensor
-Aeotec 6-in-1 sensor
-Nodon dual wall switch
-Fibaro dual relay

Problem is I need to associate the dual switch with the dual relay, with groups.
So switch 1 of the nodon switch would drive relay 1 of the Fibaro dual relay.
Same association for switch 2, relay 2.

Problem is in groups association.
Nodon dual switch has adequate groups (for each switch).
But I am unable to associate single relays in the switch groups. I can only associate the entire Fibaro dual switch.
In this way, relays have no reaction to switches

Is thie Z-Wave feature supported in Domoticz ?

Thanks !

I think you are looking for this:

Menu: Settings, hardware, Z-wave stick-settings
There you can see your groups, and add/remove groups to z-wave devices:

I precisely went to this menu. Wanted to associate node 13.1 in group 6 of node 14.
So I type "13.1" in the "Add to node" menu.

Unfortunately after refreshing, associated node is 13 instead of 13.1

Hi,

Sorry for a stupid question, but from where do you get the 13.1 number?

I'm also having problems adding devices to the groups, but I have to admit I don't even know how to answer the question in the UI: "Please enter the node to add to this group:". I have tried with the device ID, but it does not work, also node number does not work (not in hex either).

I have a button and I want it to directly be able to switch on/off a smartplug. Now I do the switching with dzVents - it works... slowly.

13 is the node number in decimal (left column).

Yes, but what about .1? Well, nevermind, you say that the .1 is cut off anyway.

I wonder why I cannot add anything to a node group?

Hi all,

I got an answer from a reseller :
This configuration won't work, just because Nodon dual wall model CWS-3-1-01 switch doesn't support multichannel association.
Solutions could be :
-either to have another dual switch which would support multichannel association (for example Aeotec wallmote quad)
-or to have one Fibaro relay per channel (and not one dual channel relay)

Thanks indeed to the Domoticz community !

.1 is the first channel of the Fibaro FGS-223 dual relay (multichannel)
.2 is for the 2nd relay

Here the same problem, i can't add node 2 to Group 1 of the motion sensor node 10, or is this not possible? :cry:
