Domoticz

Hi,

Just got an Aeotec v5 Z-Wave usb, plugged it into Domoticz and set it up (with no nodes) but I’m getting this error in the log:

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Also have this error since my 2021.1 (OZW 1.6) upgrade yesterday (from old-stable v4.10717 that was based on OZW 1.4).

I presume latest OZW version try to get updated configs at startup, but fails. As Domoticz include the set of devices configs at the date of OZW merge for the running Domoticz version, this is not really an issue until you buy a brand new device that had no config file at this date.
Anyway, if needed, this can still be done the OZW 1.4 way: Getting missing file from OpenZwave github + adding the link between device IDs and config file in manufacturer_specific.xml file. Config files per manufacturer are located in domoticz/Config. If the file does not already exist, it's possible to build one from device documentation or z-wave alliance certification data freely accessible on the web.

So don't worry too much!

I’ve got a new device - so there isn’t a config file for it yet. Im not clear from your instructions as to how to add it - as if I try to include a node, Domoticz just polls and nothing happens, so I have to cancel it.

This IMO should not prevent inclusion, at least this was the case for OZW 1.4, this also allowed to get the exact device IDs from the z-wave hardware list under z-wave controller tab. If you cannot include, you can't make sure you get the right IDs (some device HW versions may have different IDs).

For the addition, get a comparable device with a existing config (best from same manufacturer, if any, as configs are usually closest) and from documentation (if the info are there) or z-wave alliance, you can with the existing device example make required changes quite easily, check for such information from there:
https://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/

But meantime, maybe this was added here:
https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... ter/config

Take care to add the line making the IDs/config file link in manufacturer_specific.xml

Thanks - seems to work now - I think something got confused, so a hardware reset on the stick and deleting devices and start again worked
