Hi all, has anyone managed to Neo CoolCam door/window sensor to their home assistant? I’m running Hassio on Raspberi Pi with Aeotec Z Wave stick. I can see the the Neo CoolCam sensor in the node list under z wave configuration with “Unknown” in the product name. I can’t see the sensor anywhere else, it is not showing on my home screen or customize file. I’ve also managed to rename the sensor to “Slide Door Sensor” and I can see all the entities and values of the node, I just can’t see it on my home assistant screen or customize file so I can setup automations.
Neo CoolCam sensor node info:
averageRequestRTT: 0

Have you tried rebooting your device. z-wave devices normally don’t appear until rebooted after they first appear as unknown.

Can you see it it the state tool? You should see it twice once as a binary_sensor and the other as a zwave_

I can see it in state. I changed the name to “Slide Door Sensor”
here are the entities;
binary_sensor.slide_door_sensor_sensor
sensor.slide_door_sensor_access_control
zwave.slide_door_sensor

Thats great. So it is working. Just use those entity names ie binary_sensor.slide_door_sensor_sensor and it should all work. Depending on how you have set up your frontend you might need to add it in groups.yaml in order to see it on the main screen.

Aha @okareka so I was expecting the entities to show up on the front page, similar to when I added my Aeotec sensors. But this was before I started using groups and customization! so my group setup is stopping those entities from coming up?
I’ll add binary_sensor.slide_door_sensor_sensor to one of the groups and it should show up right. I’ll do this when I get home later today.

If you have a custom default view, new sensors will no longer automatically show in the frontend. You have to add them to a view manually.

I still can’t see the values. Here’s my groups file. The new door/window sensor I’m trying to display is “binary_sensor.slide_door_sensor_sensor”

Try removing the above as the binary_sensor doesnt have these entities, only the main sensor. The binary_sensor is all you want anyway as it is either open or closed or on or off. So just add the binary_sensor as the entity.
Something like
window_sensor:
Or add it to the default view which is what I do.

By the way my code is not formatted correctly so you will need to add the required spacing as you have done in your code.

@okareka thanks for that it worked! I just need to tidy up the name. Here’s what it looks like now.
slide_door_sensors:
name: Slide Door Sensors
entities:
- binary_sensor.slide_door_sensor_sensor
Sensors_View:
name: Sensors
view: yes
entities:
- group.outside_front_sensor
- group.front_outside_switch_sensors
- group.slide_door_sensors
