AEON Labs ZW089 Gen 5 Sensor configuration issues

hello all, new user here, i have been migrating from Smartthings and i am in the middle of adding my Zwave devices to my HA OpenZwave(beta) network
I was using the native one and things didnt work that good, but the OpenZwave (beta) switches at least (inovellis and zooz) seem to act better :slight_smile:
Now to the problem: Adding the AEON labs ZW089 recessed open close sensor was easy. I saw it on HA, but the problem is that it doesnt really update when the door is open or closed. A research on the web recommended to send a configuration to the device to change param 121 to 16. So I go to the developer tools, then services then ozw.set_config_parameter and i send:

node_id: 38
parameter: 121
value: 16

(my node is node 38)

Thats where the problem starts, i cannot send this, i get a response:
Failed to call service ozw/set_config_parameter. ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘type’

I am kinda stuck here, any recommendation or help please?

What version of Home Assistant?

Home Assistant 0.115.6

Try:
value: "Sensor Binary Report"

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it gave me the same response…

is there another way i could set the configuration?

You could try from ozw-admin.

or use the VNC connection in the all-in-one container.

What is the current Stage of the node? You can find it in the UI, Configuration -> Devices, pick the device in in the Device Info under Z-Wave Info it will list the Stage value.

Stage:Complete

thanks I downloaded it, the windows version of it. How do i connect to it? my HA is on a pi on my network so i assume i put the pi address on the remote host and what would the authentication key be?

blank, just hit start

That’s the right value. Only other thought, besides using ozw-admin, is to post an mqtt dump of the node to see what it shows for the configuration parameters. Topic would be OpenZWave/1/node/38/#.

tried this, connection refused…

If you’re using the addon you have to allow the 1983 port. :man_shrugging:

i have a weird thing going on with the ozw-admin from windows. When i try to login on the remote thing it tells me connection refused. Then i try from the pi on the openzwave gui thing, and says the same thing but asks me to increase the network case from 1000 so I change it to 2000. then i try again from inside the pi and it does goes through. (same way the windows pc still gets connection refused - and all ports are open i am inside the same network) but lets forget the win pc for now, while now the working ozw-admin works from the HA guy, i cannot see my cursor, and i cannot maximize the window to see the data. Am i missing something?

tried this as well, topic openzwave/1/node/38/# gives me the ip address of the HA PI. if i do openzwave/1/node/38 i get statistics, instance and association… is that what i am supposed to look at? what am i trying to find?

i was able to change the values from the ozw-admin inside the HA GUI. The curson cannot be seen but it was manageable. thanks for all the help!
