Event notification missing

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hello,

I bought a swiidinter cord switch and installed the device, it works, only, some events are sometimes missing.

I’m running home assistant on a raspberry pi 3 with aeotec z-stick gen5

If i place the light next to the controller, this is the info from the OZW_Log file:

2017-08-28 17:13:23.113 Detail, Node020,   Received: 0x01, 0x09, 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, 0x14, 0x03, 0x20, 0x01, 0xff, 0x3b

2017-08-28 17:13:23.162 Detail, Node020, Notification: ValueChanged

But, if i move the device to the final position: this is the info from the OZW_Log file:

2017-08-28 17:12:39.844 Detail, Node020,   Received: 0x01, 0x09, 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, 0x14, 0x03, 0x20, 0x01, 0xff, 0x3b

2017-08-28 17:12:39.845 Detail, Node020, Notification: NodeEvent

As you can see, the valueChanged notification isn’t reaching the controller. But the initial basic set is read.

Can some one help? Between the controller and the cord switch, there are some fibaro switches / dimmers wich repeat the signal.

Thank you!

I think I have a similar issue:

Whenever I click the off/on button on the light switch, I can see the following in the OZW_Log.txt, but I do not see the light switch status change event in home assistant (I’ve seen it once, I think just after a restart)

I have the following device:
Linear Z-Wave 3-Way Wall Accessory Switch - WT00Z-1

Its a switch without any load… It is designed to just be a button…

I’m on home assistant 0.52.1

I have created an automation rule to update the state inside home-assistant. But this is a workaround instead of an solution

- alias: 'Update nachtlamp Jan'
  trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: zwave.node_event
    event_data:        
      entity_id: zwave.nachtlamp_jan
      basic_level: 255    
  - platform: event
    event_type: zwave.node_event
    event_data:        
      entity_id: zwave.nachtlamp_jan
      basic_level: 0  
  action:
    service: zwave.refresh_node
    data:
      node_id: 24

node_id: 24 is the same device as zwave.nachtlamp_jan, but te service works only with the node_id instead of the friendly name.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem for some nodes. Some of the do not ever send the events.

My question is how to create a workaround when you have a dimmer and the basic_level varies from 1 to 99.

Thanks.

EDIT: nevermind… I just removed the basic_level and now it works for all

Neat idea to workaround some z-wave issues that I believe I’m also having. Any chance you could show an example of what that looks like in Node-RED as well?
