Let's start talking about the new Z-wave JS integration

Does anyone here have the Aeotec Doorbell 6 (ZW164) and have it working correctly?

It has paired and shows the interview complete and the status as Alive.

It has a bunch of entities created in HA but they either show as 0%, clear, unavailable, etc.

And if I push the doorbell buttons (I have two) nothing happens in HA even tho the doorbell itself rings as it should.

I’ve tried to heal, refresh, re-interview the node and nothing is working.

Is there a trick I’m missing?

EDIT:

I just realized that the device should be ZW162 (doorbell) not ZW164 (Siren/doorbell). But it’s showing up as ZW164 in Zwavejs2mqtt and HA.

Maybe that’s the issue?

How can I change it? Is that even possible.

did you check to see if zwave_js_event is emitting anything when you hit the button?

That’s the first thing I did trying to capture events for my automations and never saw anything coming thru.

That’s when I started checking HA and zwavejs2mqtt.

Usually if you can’t modify it, it’s because it set as writable: false .

No it’s really all parameters where I can’t just flick a switch or choose an option from a dropdown list.
So basical those where I need to enter a number. I can set them just fine using the call service in developer tools, but not in the new panel. See also the screenshot I had posted.

Does it work for you?

A selected set yes, but a lot of parameters are still untouchable.

I see the issue :slightly_smiling_face: - there was a change in the way the integration reported types of config options. Will try to get a PR out before release.

Excellent! Always on the ball. :slight_smile:

It’s almost like you’re the guy who developed the whole interface

Excellent thanks! Also glad it was not just me being stupid :sweat_smile: I closed the issue I had opened for this.

I assume that is the zwavejs add-on that you are getting that version number from?

can you check the version of the zwavejs server that you are running with it?

When I have the issue with 0.1.15 and 0.1.16 this is the server
ws://core-zwave-js:3000
Driver Version: 7.0.1
Server Version: 1.3.1

When I go back to 0.1.14 and it works-

ws://core-zwave-js:3000
Driver Version: 7.0.0
Server Version: 1.3.0

Hello mrMagoo,

It seems that you have the same Philio PST02 4-in-1 sensor that I have.

Could you share the config of your sensor? Unfortunately, for me, since I switched to Z-wave JS, the sensor is not working anymore.
With config N°6 at parameter 7: the sensor never triggers. What I understand with this parameter, is that the value which is reported to HA is not readable for it.
With config N°22 at parameter 7: the sensor is getting like crazy and trigger every 5minutes for no reasons.

Temperature sensor seems to work properly on the other hand so…

Before updating to Z-wave JS, it was working perfectly so…

Thanks in advance,

An update gave my Radio Thermostat 101 a bunch of presets that I don’t understand and when I put it into cooling mode, I can’t adjust the temperature. Additionally, it will not going into auto mode.

I have a question that is server related. How is the “lightest” way to remotely host the server? I am finding that my lock in the far corner of the house isn’t as reliable as I’d like on HA (was using via ST) and I think it’s because the stick can’t communicate with the lock directly, and my other stuff is not secure.

Can a pi-zero be loaded with only the zjs server and usb stick and then assigned a static IP that I can map HA to?

Yes, you’re right. Kudos to @cgarwood, thank you very much!

I probably wouldn’t use a Pi Zero, while it might be able to handle the “load” the packaging will be a bit clumsy with an USB adapter cable.

A PiB+ or Pi4 plus a Razberry board ($24) will handle it beautifully (I run that setup today).
The nice thing about the Razberry is that you can use an external antenna (requires soldering) and with that the range is great. This will also allow you to use a POE hat so that if you don’t want to use Wifi, you still only need one cable.

Open a github issue with the state dump from your thermostat.

Thanks, this is great as I already have a POE+ network switch and 50’ cord! Do you have a write-up on how you accomplished you could share or PM?

Thanks, I’ll try them.

If I am not wrong, value “0” is “operation mode” is not really the value which has been set for this parameter.

As far as I know, the most frequent ones are 20, 22 or 6. I think that it showns 0 as “custom parameter” but I do not know if you can see how has really been set the option.

Can you tell me what you mean by “Dip-switch”?

Thanks
