Domoticz

Hi, i buy'd some Philio Pan11-1B energy switch and metering.
But it doesnt work like it should be
it does switch, on off but i can't see its energy meter.
also, in zwave it shows as a unknown device.
i have updated the xml/config stuff, but it still doesnt work.
what to do?

zwave shows me this: 6 LBR Routing Slave Binary Power Switch

the zwave library shows me: http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/
there is a xml, but i don't know exactly how to add it to domoticz (how to find it's ID)....
http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/360

*in zwave i got also a error? : Niet alle Nodes zijn ondervraagd, OpenZWave nog niet volledig geïnitialiseerd!
and its shown as 006 (0x06) unknown

thanks a lot!

Take a look here:

Could be a similar situation.

Hope this helps

It is working now

Thanks a lot!

Ahww.. i'll was to fast to say it was working
It does work,but after some minutes (hours) the state became dead and the node was not responding.
The color was also red in the screen.
The only thing to wake it up was to push the manual button on the device (switch).
There is still no configuration in the zwave page of the device.

What to do now?
I think its not fully supported (yet).

But how can i manually add the xml from the library?

Gr barry

BarryT,
I think you jump from one conclusion in another.
- it works (what/where?)
- it is dead (what/where?)
- the color was red (what/where?)

Show step-by-step snapshots:
- Hardware tab, Device: Z-stick
- devices tab

You wrote: PAN11-1B. The last 1 stands for the type of country. (Germany&NL=1, France=2, UK=3, US&CA=4).
Don't see any B mentioned in the documentation. Is B correct?

Have a look here:
https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... ecific.xml
go to line 478 Add the last line to your Philio section in your manufacturer_specific.xml (../Domoticz/Config). You can replace the 4 by 1.
You need to repeat this after every Domoticz upgrade until it is included in Domoticz!
I think the Product type helps Z-wave to understand the generic capabilities.

There is no manufacturer specific xml file in ../Domoticz/Config/philio that fits your switch.
Also not in the Open-Zwave community: https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... fig/philio
But you switch is so generic (On/Off,Usage,Energy) that probably Z-wave can handle it as generic device.

Take the switch in the close vicinity of your Z-stick. Z-wave does not like concrete walls and floors (with iron!).
It can lead, under an angle, to signal degradation up-to 90%!!!

Put a constant load on the PAN-11 (a 25W lamp or so)
Enable hardware for 5 minutes and restart.
Catch the log file part of the Z-wave start-up.
After restart under Hardware tab, Device: Z-stick you now will have a Description.
Then it can take a while (even a new restart with enable hardware) before all features of the switch are transmitted to the Z-stick.

Take your time.
It could help to switch on polling temporarily for the switch (check the poll interval of you Z-stick).

Search under unused devices for hex number combination of your device (if it shows as (0x17) use 017 and 170)
I assume you will find 3 lines:
- the switch
- Energy
- Usage
Add all 3 devices.

Now it's your turn.
Snapshot top-down and step by step your actions and post them.
Including the strength of you network (under Node Management, Groups and Network)
Otherwise no one can help.

Take your time to read this, I took the time to write it.

Thanks for your answer,really appreciate it.
It is solved by updating the whole file/db system.
now it is recognized and working perfect like it should do..
Thanks!

Are these plugs recommended? I am looking in buying two extra plugs.
I prefer plugs without polling. According to a forum member, these PAN11's don't need polling.

How are these plugs regarding range/stability/repeating other nodes?

Unfortunately they are (still) not supported out-of-the-box with Domoticz even though OpenZwave seems to have support for it for some time now (e.g. in OpenHAB).
I have found the actual XML file for this particular device and added it in the manufacturer_specific.xml, switching and reading power usage works but it is not possible to configure the device (e.g. period to report usage, threshold of load, button functionality and the LED) which is a bit annoying though.

Is there a way to get this particular XML included in Domoticz (and added to manufacturer_specific.xml)?
A little support for this device is more than is being offered now

Take a look at the Wenzou (Tkb home) tz88.
That one looks the same, could be re-branding.

Look at the pepper1 database if they are comparable.
The tz88.xml file is in the Config/wenzou directory.

If so, copy en rename it and add it to the Philio directory

Open a log window in your browser
Stop Domoticz

Add the path/name to the manufacturer_specific.xml
Remove the existing Philio Id (decimal) section from the zwcfg_0xnnnnnnnn.xml

Start Domoticz
Look in the log window if it's included
The Philio section in the zwcfg_0xnnnnnnnn.xml will be re-build by Domoticz

If you need help, talk with pictures:
Snap the Configuration part in the Hardware section
Snap the Devices with the concerned Id (hex)
Snap the code section of the Philio Id (decimal) from your zwcfg_0xnnnnnnnn.xml (post it between the forum Code button brackets)

Hope this helps

I did write a pan11-1b.xml file

and edited this secion in the manufacturer_specific.xml

<Manufacturer id="013c" name="Philio Technology Corporation">
<Product type="0001" id="0001" name="PAN11-4 Smart Energy Plug In Switch"/>
<Product type="0001" id="0003" name="PAN04-1 Double Relay Switch 2x1.5kW with Power Measurement" config="philio/pan04.xml"/>

<Product type="0002" id="000e" name="PST02-C Door/Window 3 in 1 sensor" config="philio/pst02-1c.xml"/>
</Manufacturer>

rebooted my Pi, and the device was fully implemented, with all parameters

Note that you need to add this file and change in manufacturer_specific.xml for every update until pan11-1b is fully supported

Did need to exclude/include after applying the xml-files
