Domoticz

Can anyone explain what the device 'Alarm Level' on the Nuon\Greenwave Smartplug is?

It acts as a switch , but when i activate the switch nothing happens.

Thanks in advance!

This class should not be visible in your configuration..

can you check if the following lines are available in the Config/Greenwave config files

<!-- COMMAND_CLASS_ALARM. This class is in the list reported by the GreenWave PowerNode 6, but it does not respond to requests -->
<CommandClass id="113" action="remove" />

if they are there (good), check your config/zwcfg_xxxx.xml file, and see if they are there for the greenwave, if they are, stop domoticz, edit the file, remove it, and start domoticz again

because when it wants to poll for this class, you will have a huge timeout

Thanks for your reply.
The section ' <CommandClass id="113" action="remove" /> ' is present in both the OpenZwave and Domoticz config files.
The CommandClass isn't present in the zwcfg file.

So it seems to look good.

I did notice some instability an hour ago (lost connection between aeon labs v2 stick and smart plug), and startup problems of domoticz after a reboot.
Maybe this is caused by this device?

Nope... so why your initial question about the alarm level ?
Unfortunately the greenwave documentation is very small and i did not find a document about the alarm class

It is still present in the web ui.
The config files looks fine (based on your suggestion)

Sun Nov 9 20:43:12 2014 OpenZWave: Value_Added: Node: 2, CommandClass: ALARM, Label: Alarm Level, Instance: 1

I found the Alarm Level devices too. For both the 6-fold and the single Greenwave sockets, one for each module.

I think the Alarm Level has to do with the over current detection in the Greenwave sockets. Above 2200 Watts power consumption an over current protection kicks in effectively switching off the socket. The indicator light on the socket will indicate this event with a red (!) light for a while. Pressing the button on the module will reset this status. Having said this, the Alarm Level devices didn't get switched on when tripping the over current detection.

Sly.

Same here

Another thing with this GreenWave PowerNode, when it get's unplugged, and then later is powered on, it is not found by Domoticz. First I've been waiting to see it come back online, then applied configuration for device, disabled and enabled polling, sent commands etc. This does not help.
Isn't the polling mechanism working properly for this device?
So far, the only thing that helps to get it back online, is restart Domoticz. So it can be fixed from the controller side, it it possible to script this, so a reboot won't be needed?

I noticed this too. Looking for a solution aswell.

Is this solved? I see the ALARM Level devices too. Now what?

So... you bump a thread from more then 1 year *g*
Do you have any problems with the device? If not, no problem
If yes, disable the ozw hardware, then edit the file Config/zwcfg_xxxxx.xml, remove your greenwave node,
next enable the ozw hardware, not it should be ok

For me, the problem posted in the below url was the reason to ditch z-wave.
Greenwave devices seemed really unstable.
Also suddenly loosing connection with the network (domoticz needed a restart to fix it)

Dont know if these problems are resolved?

It is not zwave being the problem, it is the greenwave node that is the problem.

I own the newer version of the Greenwave Smartplug 6 (NS310) for just a day.
I'd like to find out about issues while i can still return the product.. And there are not many discussions about greenwave that i could find..
I don't seem to have those problems with delays, so thats cool.

These problems i did not see yet. Will report back.

Only solution was rebooting the raspberry pi.
So i doubt its the greenwave hardware itself (greenwave works great on official zwave devices such as eneco toon)

My conclusion was that its caused by openzwave and that openzwave was unable to recover the situation
Openzwave has issues with recovering dead nodes.. i think this happened.

When i unplug the Greenwave plugs i indeed have to push the sync button on the plug before its been reconnected in domoticz.
So this means every time with power failure the plugs need a push on the sync button..

Dont have this experience

How can that be???

Did you wire them to Domoticz

Basically I don't experience that either. I have polling enable for the greenwave plug.

I see the alarm level and alarm type devices as well. So far I have ignored them, but there are quite a lot of them which makes it harder to search for new devices. Is removing them from the configuration really a fix? So far I haven't seen any response that confirmed it.

In general the Greenwave devices do seem to work, but you have to give it some time and be patient every once in a while.
