Hi everybody,

Has anyone any experiences with this wallswitch?

If anybody has any scenes ready I would very much like to use them.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a very similar one and just got it working now with Razberry as the controller.
It's this one: http://www.robbshop.nl/nodon-soft-remote-z-wave-plus

Getting it working took a while, especially since I'm new to Domoticz, Zwave and home automation.
What I did that eventually made it work:
- include the switch in the network as per instruction manual
- this gave me "unknown device" in Domoticz, so I edited manufacturer_specific.xml to make the device known (used the definitions from another Nodon device that seemed similar)
- excluded & re-included so the new definitions got used
- under Hardware->Zwave, configured the Nodon to act as "Scene Activation" rather and "Central Scene" (press button on the Nodon to awaken it and let it receive its config)
- under Hardware->Zwave->Groups & Network, add the controler (node 1) to each of the groups for the Nodon switch. This somehow ensures that the signals are received as commands by the Razberry and handed to Domoticz as "remote control". Sync the config again by pressing a key on the Nodon
- Press each key on the Nodon once, which should Domoticz detect them as Devices
- Create a scene and add an Activation Device and press the button you need on the Nodon. It should now detect the button and activate the scene.

Hope it works for you as well
Regards,
J.

Thanks Jerboer for sharing your experience.
Using your method, I also got my NodOn wall switch working to activate a scene.

I, however wanted also to be able to deactive a group, which turned out to be more difficult than anticipated. I ended up writing a python script that does the trick, i.e., turn on a group if it is off, and otherwise turn it off. Let me post it such that others can also make use of it:

Save the following script on the pi (e.g., as /home/pi/myscripts/SwitchOnOffScene.py), and make it executable (using chmod +x):

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

import json
import urllib
import urllib2

DOMOTICZ_SERVER = 'http://DOMOTICZADDRESS:8080/' #adjust
SCENE_NAME = 'NAMEOFSCENE' #adjust

resp = urllib.urlopen(DOMOTICZ_SERVER + 'json.htm?type=scenes')
data = json.load(resp)
if data["status"]!="OK" :
    print "error: could not retrieve scenes/groups" + str(data)
else :
    found = False
    for scene in data['result'] :
        if scene['Name']==SCENE_NAME :
            found = True
            idx = scene['idx']
            if scene['Status'] == 'Off' :
                switchcmd = 'On'
            else : # On or Mixed
                switchcmd = 'Off'
            req = urllib.urlopen(DOMOTICZ_SERVER + 'json.htm?type=command&param\
=switchscene&idx=' + idx + '&switchcmd=' + switchcmd)
            break
    if found :
        data = json.load(req)
        if data["status"]!="OK" :
            print "error: could not send request" + str(data)
    else :
        print "error: could not find the scene" + str(data)

In the above, make sure that you adjust the DOMOTICZ_SERVER and SCENE_NAME to your personal situation.

Now go to the switch device linked to a particular button, click 'edit' and set as "On Action" the following: script:///home/pi/myscripts/SwitchOnOffScene.py (reflecting the name and location you saved the script to)

Hi,
Does the solution works on a Pi ?

Thanks

Yes, I wrote and run my script on a Raspberry Pi

I am sorry. I am a newbi on DomoticZ and I have no idea how to add the script on the pi.

Some help would be appreciated.
