Logic Group ZDB5100 Matrix Switch

Hi Jesper

Here is the zwcgf file for the Matrix: https://pastebin.com/XyiLXynW

When I look under dev/services I don’t have any entities apart from the lights exposed from HUE.

So seems like I’m missing a component here?

It looks like you have alot of dublicate entries for the command classes. So deleting them would be a place to start.

Does the switch level show up ind the frontend with a toggle button?
For the record I have only 2 switch-level(from the multi level switch command class) in the standard lovelace light panel. Dont know why the rest of them not appearing. However I have all of them as entities. Maybe it would help to remove the node and reinstall the switch…

also in the first part i’ve got “17” as generic and you have 24. Dont know if this changes anything :sweat_smile:

<Node id="10" name="" location="" basic="4" generic="17" specific="1" roletype="5" devicetype="5632" nodetype="0" type="Basic Wall Controller" listening="true" frequentListening="false" beaming="true" routing="true" max_baud_rate="40000" version="4" secured="true" query_stage="Complete">
		<Manufacturer id="234" name="Logic Soft">´

Good point. Duplicates happened when I had issues copy pasting in changes. It has been cleared up but that does not change anything.

The switches can be toggled from the interface and I do have entities for the switch. However, they are not part of the light service and I don’t really get how they would become that.

Can you post the code you use to toggle the light of one of the LEDs?

In the dev/service i just call the service like this:

2020-09-11 (2)

Maybe you should do a complet reset of the device and reinstall. Make sure to make a copy of your config or you can use mine https://pastebin.com/TDi4S0P3. Remember to stop HA completly after the reinstall and before you save the config file and change the nodeid in the part you copy in.

Else I dont know what to do and why the light-entities wont show up. As I understand those entities is created from the command class switch multilevel or the command class color.

And have you set the config parameter nr: 10 (Enhanced led control) to enabled?

I got it working thanks to your config! Thanks a lot. This will help me close some of the missing pieces of my puzzle.

The process that helped me:

  1. Excluded the device
  2. Restarted HA
  3. Included the device
  4. Shut down z-wave network
  5. Exchanged config with https://pastebin.com/TDi4S0P3
  6. Restarted HA

Now I can call the service as needed and turn on the lights. Still struggling to use light.turn_off which is not working.

Well thats a problem :sweat_smile:

the light.turn_off doesnt work here either… A quick workaround could be using the switch.turn_off but i’ll have to do some more investigation into why it wont work with the light.turn_off…

“Stor TAK” - A big thanks
I’m desperately trying get my two ZDB5100 working - my initial thought was that the time gained from the installation, could be spend on the configuration - Man, was i wrong!!!
Have been looking at this thread a while, tried some of your examples, but are still not able to have it working - Big cheers for your work, and hope to be able to have my own switches working. Will give it another go soon.

The switches really look cool, matches the LK look perfectly, the LEDs really have some great potential and the double-up on switches in a normal 1-module gives ease of operation, all this combined with the integrated dimmer should make this clear choice, but…

Any hope for generic integration in upcoming versions ?

It’s a shame, but currently I would not recommend anyone to buy these switches, my selves included. I rejected a bargain of 300DKK recently (in contrast to my original purchase price of 900DKK !!!) - It is also reflected in the retail-price and “used”-price, they have been dramatically lowered.
Why is the implementation so cumbersome (not only in HA, also the official instructions for Fibaro HC)
Just my 0.02$…

if any help, here is how I use the ZDB inside node-red.
In this flow I catch what button is pressed, and how many times. By pressing button 1 (upper left) one time will toogle the light on/off with a brightness of 100%, and pressing button 3 (bottom left) do it at 50%.

Hi,

I’m out of the ZDB5100 world for a little bit. Two of my switches died within a couple of days. One just stopped working, but the other one made a loud pop and triggered the breaker when I wanted to use it one day. After taking it out I could see burn marks on it :open_mouth:

Anyone had experienced problems with these units?

Luckily they are still under warranty, but this made me worried a bit.

Hmm that is suspect. Did you contact Logic Group with your findings?

Yes, I’ve sent both units back. I hope I’ll hear from them soon. Not just to get a replacement, but I’m curious what was the reason.

I’ll post it here when I know more.

Thats why I do not use home assistant I struggled with the integration as well. so I have another system now that is working.

the z-wave driver for home assistant is not good enough at all yet.

Sadly Niels, this is also my experience.

For now I’ve parked my ZDB5100 on the shelf with not clear timeline. I have also tried to reach out to the manufacturer’s support, but without any positive feedback from their side.

Is there any chance, that one of you could do an Youtube video guide on this or just en step by step guide?

I tried to do the things you all wrote, but is still ending up with complete setup…

Best regard

@FlemmingM unfortunately I don’t have these devices anymore. They have died one day. I’ve sent them back to Logic Group to get them replaced but they refuse to do that claiming that they were wired incorrectly. Yeah, right, it was working for a year with incorrect wiring … I am greatly disappointed in that company and won’t be buying anything from them in the future.

I hope you guys have better luck with these products.

Would you give it a try, if I sponosed one or two? :slight_smile:

Haha, very kind, but I’d skip the offer :slight_smile:

One of the units popped and tripped the breaker when I wanted to use one of the buttons. I could have gotten shocked. And the manufacturer says it’s my fault. I don’t want to spend time on these things anymore. Hope you understand.

I understand, but Im still sorry that happen to you.
Im not willing to give up yet. I hope my Matrix is a newer version, where these problems have been solved :slight_smile:
And until I find another solution (product), I dont have a choice.

I have 2 older switches from them. Those don’t have a dimmer and have been working flawlessly for many years. I was really happy when I saw this new version. And have been using them until now.

I hope you’ll be more lucky with these! :crossed_fingers:
