Can't get I2 or I3 input work - Qubino dimmer ZMNHDD1

Hi all,

I've a Qubino ZMNHDD1 dimmer which contains 3 inputs. The dimmer works fine (by I1 and domoticz as well). Now I want to connect a scene to I3 (or I2) which turns off all the lights in de livingroom (for example). The scene works fine; I've create a blocky script which is also fine.

I already tried several things and I've a switch which will turn on if I hold down the physical switch on my dimmer so I3 is closed and refresh the status in the OpenZWave control panel. Afterwards I see the event is triggered and the light (for test now) goes off.

But... It isn't working if I just press only once on the physical button. It seems like there is no event sent to Domoticz. Is there anybody who has it working properly with a Qubino? Somebody some hints? Thanks!

Read this post, it's about update status when swtich devices manually (and devices doesn't send its status to Domoticz)

Also solved :) Thanks for the hint! It helped me... but I figured out in another way.

What I've done (and maybe the adding into the groups are overdone):
1. Add the dimmers with group 5-10 to node 1 (Domoticz controller)
2. Figured out with debug = verbose which ID's where hitted and which status was send from the Qubino dimmers...

All my lights in the living room goes off when pressing the button down on the wall. 8-)

Thank you for sharing this! Adding node 1 to group 5 up and untill 10 of the dimmer node made the L2 input work!
I would never have thought about that.

Is adding node 1 to 6 groups (5-10) really needed? Or is there one group that makes the L2 button work? How can i get to know which group is responsible for that?

I looked into the manual. http://qubino.com/download/1293/

As stated group 5-10 is assigned with I2 / I3 events. So, I assigned everything... but I agree; I guess one group will be enough. But I don't know which...

Associated Groups:
Group 1: Lifeline group (reserved for communication with the main
controller), 1 node allowed.
Group 2: basic on/off (triggered at change of the input I1 state and
reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes
Group 3: start level change/stop level change (triggered at change of
the input I1 state and reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes
Group 4: multilevel set (triggered at changes of state/value of the
Flush dimmer) up to 16 nodes
Group 5: basic on/off (triggered at change of the input I2 state and
reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
Group 6: Notification report (triggered at change of the input I2 state
and reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
Group 7: Binary sensor (triggered at change of the input I2 state and
reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
Group 8: basic on/off (triggered at change of the input I3 state and
reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
Group 9: notification report (triggered at change of the input I3 state
and reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
Group 10: binary sensor report (triggered at change of the input I3
state and reflecting its state) up to 16 nodes.
Group 11: multilevel sensor report (triggered at change of temperature
sensor) up to 16 nodes.

Ok, so it seems 5, 6, 7 is enough for L2.... i will try.

Hi,

This seems like the perfect fix for me. I'm currently using VERA but am experimenting with domoticz and a z-stick gen 5. I am currently at the stage where domoticz recognises the light (i1) and can control it but want the i2 and 3 buttons to work.

I didn't realise you could associate groups with domoticz. Can you expand a little as I thought you could only associate groups with other devices.

Thanks.

Hi,

Ive been trying to get this to work all day and have pretty much wasted the day.

I have got i2 to work and it is recognized by domoticz however whenever I press the i1 main switch the scene is also activated. I dont know how I can stop this. I thought I was making progress getting the scene to run with i2 but unfortunately it runs with i1 as well even though its not set as a trigger. Has anyone else had this problem.

Nick

What did you do with the group settings?
I just added node 1 (the controller) to group 5, 6, 7, 8 to make the i2 input work and that was enough.

Hi think pad,

Finally got this working well.

Changed parameter 100 to 9 ( binary sensor )
Excluded the unit and then re included it.
Set group 5 to node 1 ( primary controller )

All working now.

For some reason when parameter 100 was set to anything else the i1 button also fired the scene.

Really happy this works. Been struggling with Vera for about a month and after 3 phone calls they have said that they can't support the device.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for your reaction. I now remember that i also set parameter 100 to 9 (binary sensor). But i'm not sure if that did matter. The default setting is something like a motion sensor or so.
Good to know about the group 5... i now also have node 1 in 6,7,8 but i prefer minimalism. I will try removing node 1 from 6,7,8 (so it is only left in #5) and see if it still works like it should.

Good to see your enthousiasm, over time you will love Domoticz ;) Enjoy your stay here!

Hi guys,

I just connected this Qubino ZMNHDD1 flush dimmer to a double pulse switch and dimming the lights connected to the I1 (left switch) works. But now the I2 (right switch)......it just won't show me a switch in the devices list. I altered parameter 100 to 9 (binary sensor) and excluded / included the Qubino again. The settings were changed to factory defaults, so I changed parameter 100 to 9 again, but nothing happens. There is no switch I can use.

What exactly do I have to change to get the I2 to work as an on/off switch? Anyone?

You might look for differences in the xml between this one and the normal zwave dimmer. I have my doorbell connected to one of them.

Did you alter the xml file to get it to work? What should I look for?

I didn't alter anything, but I only use it on one ZMNHDA2 dimmer. Should be the same I guess.

I can't find anything I should change or that triggers me to try to do something with it when I check the file.

Anyone with a working solution for this?

You should see a lot of 'switches' for this dimmer.

I don't use the inputs on that one, that's why they're just called 'alexSensor'

Wait.

When adding the switch to Group 5 in the ZWave network, I suddenly got a switch. This switch I added in Domoticz, and when I click on the button of the pulse switch, the switch turns ON and OFF. So I'm one step further: the switch is there, it work,s but doesn't behave like I want it to. I want it to be like: click once: turn switch ON. Click a second time: turn switch OFF. Etcetera.

How can I change this behavior ?

Not :p
It's pulse only.
You could trigger a 'toggle' script with it.

Are you 100% sure?

Because the I1 does work like that: hit it once and the lights turn on. Hit it again and the lights turn off. Keep it pressed and the dim level changes.

So I should expect that the I2 should be able to turn the lights on and off like the I1.....
