How to add a switch

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi list,

I’m very new to Home Assistant, the auto discovery discoverd almost all of my z-wave devices (which is very cool!!), except for my switches (Leviton). I can see my switches activities in OZW_Log.txt.

My quetion is very simple i beleive, how could i add those switches in my home assistant home page ? I want a button where i can open and close the lights.

Thanks

Guys,
I clicked on the second icon under the developers tool, i can’t find my switch there.

How can i add this switch in HA ? I have struggled with this many hours today.

Thanks for your help !

Michael

I would try removing them and then re adding them. You will get better help if you fully describe your settup. What install method, zwave dongle/hub etc.

Thank you Zarthan. I installed HA on a Raspberry Pi 3, i use a z-stick aeon gen 5 with :

  • Aeontec Multisensor 6 (which is working fine)
  • Everspring door/winders doors sensor (which is also working fine)
  • a Levithon switch (which HA do not show icon for it, but can see activity in OZW_log. txt

Thanks

I tried to remve and then re addning, and i still can’t see it in HA

How are you adding and removing devices? i would try using the HA web interface under services / zwave.

I’m adding/removing device using the z-stick (exclude-include by pressing the button).

I don’t know this services option. I will try it

It says to refer to to OZW-Log for reference, but not sure what i need to add …

Here is my OZW-log when i turn on the switch :

It is just something to try. I had to add and remove a device 5 or 6 times the other day before it included properly.

I found this in the home-assistant.log :

16-10-28 18:56:08 openzwave: Z-Wave Notification ValueRemoved for an unknown value ({‘id’: 72057594126614528}) on node 5

This is my switch

Ok, i added the node using the HA web interface and it works now ! Thanks a lot zarthan, i can now move forward :wink:
