Both of these devices are the same model, (FW version is actually higher by 0.1 on the device showing less…) and this function has worked correctly on my previous hub, so I know the devices are not at fault… but I have no idea why I am seeing this inconsistent (and seemingly broken) behavior…
It would appear that something is awry in the configuration since I have many more options available to me in the ZwaveJS2MQTT settings
for the one device
Can anyone advise how I might diagnose this issue?
EDIT: Still digging and worth noting that the temperature measurement interval and differential is set to 5mins and 0.5 degrees so should be working as expected
Well, I’ve re-interviewed and this time I have got the additional sensors appearing… however they still don’t appear to be working
At this moment in time they’re both sat next to each other on my stairs (above my zwave controller) and I’m reading 24.44 °C on one device and 18.42 °C on the other… that hasn’t changed since i set them up.
For contrast another temperature sensing device in that area is reading 19°C so it would seem that the one device at least read it correctly in the first place
The settings all say that they should be reporting in, but clearly not (or maybe they are but the temperature isn’t registering, unsure)
FWIW, to note for anyone else, it does appear that the associations are unchanged in the re-interview, although I have noticed that many of my devices have a “lifeline” association which neither of these seem to have - unsure if that might be a problem? (it has a device status instead)
Totally different… I had an association set up which just so happened to work, but it had killed the lifeline.
The lifeline is actually the one labelled “Flood Alarm”
Tilt & Tamper is actually Flood Control
etc
I need to do a little more testing but is seems having Flood Alarm linked to the controller and Tilt & Tamper acting as the flood association is working as I want
Urgh… okay, maybe not…
It works with one of the devices but not the other… and none of them are reporting their state to Home Assistant still…
This is really frustrating
I’ve removed the device and re-added the device but actually the associations still wont disappear and I think the lack of lifeline might be causing a problem
EDIT: Okay - I think it is working… after resetting both devices and setting up back as it was before it seems to be working… for some reason on occasion the flood sensor doesnt report that it’s dry again back to the controller but honestly in a flood situation I can deal with that
What’s also weird is that the plug that I’m associating with doesnt report it’s state to HA either - no idea why that is
I haven’t moved on yet but need to. The temp readings were important for me in my logic. I’m not sure if I need to look at a new flood sensor (I have over a dozen) or just compliment the existing sensors with their own temp.
I like Fibaro’s products but they’re stubborn as a company. If it’s not their controller, they don’t seem to care.
Totally agree. Solid products but they only care about their own walled garden. Which is quite odd as I bet the vast majority of their devices aren’t used with their controllers…
I’ve complemented with different temp sensors, tho far from ideal, would like the flood sensor reading properly!!
