I have a home assistant setup based on a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Z Stick 5 (not 5+). Recently I bought an Aeotec MultiSensor 7 to be integrated into the system. I am able to add the sensor, but in the
Z-Wave JS integration it shows up as “Node 16” with unknown manufacturer and model.
Looking into the device, I am able to see all the entities that I am expecting. However, I am not able to do any configurations of the device. I am able to see all the configuration parameters, but not able to change them. I have also tried to send parameters from “Services” under “Develope Tools”, but it fails to transmit with unknown error.
Anyone have an idea as to what might be wrong? Could it be that ZStick 5 does not support S2 security?
I have the same setup and the same situation with two of these multisensor 7. I have several Multisensor 6 that does work as intended in the same zwave-network. Reinterviewing the devices does not alleviate the situation either.
Other generation 7 devices, spesifically the Door/window sensor (ZWA008) does show up correctly.
So I guess this is an issue with the multisensor 7 spesifically, not generation 7 devices in general. Might be a bug or missing configuration/setup in Z-wave JS?
Chris Cheng an Application Engineer at Aeotec told me there was a bug that was causing issues with parameters.
Threshold settings are based on Parameter 40 - 45 it should be fixed in the next few weeks with a firmware update. Threshold settings only apply to temperature, UV, humidity, and Light sensors.
Perhaps a little late, but this is usually the case when the device json files are not yet available from zwavejs. Looking at the github files, there is now one available for device zwa024. The last update of this file was 22 days ago, so if its still showing as unknown manufacturer and model, it may be the file has not yet been picked up in the version of zwavejs that you’re running with.
Thanks to (very good) Aeotec support this issue has now been resolved for me.
What @wmaker points at was probably the root cause.
What I ended up doing was replacing the stock Z-Wave JS integration with ZWaveJS2MQTT, updating the device database end excluding/re-including the devices in question. They now show up correctly as “Multisensor 7”
