thanks to everyone here, i got the Fibaro flood sensor (zwave plus) working very well with my gen5 stick!
so i got another flood sensor (non plus version)…while i was able to add the node, it is not reporting anything on HA page except temperature! it does make noise when i moved it and dump water on it but the states on HA page stay the same as seen here:
do i need to run and open the OpenZWave Control Panel? or is it because i have the zwave plus gen 5 stick so i must get all zwave plus sensors?
not sure what i am doing wrong. i removed the node then add it back again using the zwave panel in HA webpage, still no changes.
i used the OpenZWave Control Panel to remove then add back…still nothing.
i will have to assume compatibility issues.
i have never seen the state as OFF for the 1st Fibaro sensor i added. so for my 2nd new sensor, this is what i see. i will return the 2nd sensor for the zwave plus version unless someone here has an idea. thanks!
