Thanks, unfortunately I’ve tried most of that already. I’ll just keep tinkering.
Zwave battery devices are a bit of a PIA to deal with in HA.
I added 6 of them last week and haven’t had any issues, or had to make any changes.
If you need to change the parameter settings, it is done via the Z-Wave configuration in HA.
Im just not sure what Is happening here.
I add them, The entities show up. Everything looks good. But when I separate the magnets, HA or the Zwave network dont show any changes. I have the OZW.log running so I can watch for changes, but it doesn’t show.
I’ve tried restarting with the magnet separate at first and together. Each time I remove and re-add them I remove it from the entity registry also.
I’ve tried checking in OZWCP to see if it updates and even there it does not see the change.
Im 4 feet away from my Zstick, no obstructions.
These are brand new sensors with new batteries (double checked they were full). Two identical sensors, same issue.
they show in my list. That is not the issue. The device is added to my zwave network.
The issue is the entities created are not updating on state changes. ie, when the physical magnets are seperated, no notification is being sent to the zwave network.
binary_sensor.nurserl_window_1 is not updating.
Check whether the number of sensor.Nursery Window 1 Alarm level changes?
None of the entites listed change. I have a running tail -f of both the OZ log and the Home-assistant.log
Nothing is seen in the logs, or in the entity displayed.
Did you add them as regular or secure?
I tried both. Same issue
Sorry, I have no idea what is wrong.
When I added mine, I left the cover off for about 5min, this forces the sensor to stay awake and the system is able to get all the parameters of the sensor.
forces it to stay awake? How? There is only one button. There is no switch or sensor that detects if the cover is on or not.
I’ve had the cover off the entire time while I try and figure this out.
are we talking about the same model sensor here? Dome DMWD1?

Yes, I meant I forced it, by pressing and holding the BUTTON
for two seconds.
I think Im going to return these and switch to a different style.
Either I got a bad batch, or something else is broken. THis is really not worth the hassle.
Are those the only Z-Wave devices you have?
nope. I have: 2 water sensors, 9 switches(ge and leviton) and 2 thermostats.
All were added and worked “out of the box”, except for the water sensors which I had to change the report type.
But other than that, working great.
Did you try a system reboot, not just HA restart?
Heal Network, Soft Reset, etc…?
doesn’t seem to have made a difference.
Just added another one and it is working fine.
Alarm Level & Type has no change.
Access Control changes from 22 (open) to 23 (closed), and 254 for extended open.
Maybe there is an issue somewhere with Z-Wave, another issue reported:
What version HA are you running?
I just spoke to their customer support. They suggest sending them back. after spending way…way to much time on this. Their only thoughts are a bad batch.
The double tap of the switch is supposed to wake it up, but nothing happens with mine on a double tap. Only a tripple or holding it for 10 seconds seem to do anything. So they are going to refund me my money.
I’ll probably be switching either to zigbee or xiaomi for sensors.
