The Future of Z-Wave in HA - QT-OpenZWave

nehalem · October 6, 2020, 4:04pm

Oh nice. But my initial question still kind of remains. Is this OpenZWave actually mature enough to use outside of a development environment? If it’s useable I might switch, or at least start testing as firstof9 suggested.

If you don’t hit the bugs () and can live with “how to’s” it’s touching stability. On the other hand… “compatibility” is little limited in my vies… I have a bunch of “mainstreamed” devices which are not really well supported in ozw1.6. but on the other hand, that is not the fault of the QT wrapper.

frits1980 · October 6, 2020, 8:29pm

How? Because I only get sensors in Mqtt. No controllable devices.

You can publish MQTT commands to directly interact with nodes and their values. The setvalue command would let you use the Sound Switch command class values.

Use something like MQTT Explorer to see which values are exposed.

firstof9 · October 6, 2020, 10:32pm

If you could provide a mqtt.dump of the doorbell, I’d love to take a look and see what I could come up with.

Edit: Looks like it’s actually getting worked on

Hang in there

For specific setvalue commands related to the aeotec doorbell have a look at this post : SetValue command

adamoutler · October 7, 2020, 11:57am

I hope, rather than continue to implement each device individually, the people looking at this give consideration to a generalized MQTT device. With MQTT the entire system is unified. MQTT works like a database. During device setup, HA would be easier to use if it could take a ZWave Node and display/select endpoint IDs by name.

There should be some way to:

Select a name
Select an icon
Set an action entity
Select a button/toggle/input type for the action
Set an indicator entity
Select a text/light/color for the indicator

It really should be that simple when dealing with MQTT. Then, later when we want to add “official” support:

Migrate these settings and selections to an official HA device where the user only needs to connect a device and the endpoints are all referenced by name and converted to endpoint IDs for fast runtime operations

Is 150 still the most stable release or is there a new hidden gem in all the builds? I notice 150 after running for a while gets stuck and refreshing the node crashes the container.

Hello, again I have a non responsive QT OpenZwave … If I restart it will work again but this is the status in the addon:

This happens ~2 times a week…

What is this? Where to start troubleshooting?

Start a new thread, and you’ll need to post your ozw log.

sender · November 4, 2020, 2:19pm

Where can I find that?

chrisw · November 6, 2020, 12:31am

I’m using the all-in-one build 175 — seems to work fine for me.

HA_fanatic · November 6, 2020, 1:30pm

What is going on with your thermostat and what thermostat do you have?

I have a trane TCONT624AS42DAA. I have 2 of them and one thing I notice is that HomeKit with it doesn’t seem to work well. Specifically when you switch to auto the HomeKit “view” doesn’t change to show both temperatures for the range.

sender · November 6, 2020, 1:34pm

Where can I find the OZW log in the addon?

Guff666 · November 9, 2020, 10:18am

@HA_fanatic Mine is the Horstmann SRT321. It’s working fine now.

sender · November 9, 2020, 10:22am

@firstof9 You say so easy “post your log and start a thread” but if I kindly ask and remind you how to it remains quiet. Could you please advise on how to?

x.ha · November 9, 2020, 12:25pm

Yes, because the addon log on the supervisor page is 1) too short and only holds a few lines, 2) made worse by it not being wide so the lines wrap, effectively making it even shorter

firstof9 · November 9, 2020, 1:55pm

Your full log is located at /data/ozw/config/logs/ inside the container.

To get into the container you need to do something like docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash

sender · November 11, 2020, 4:04pm

I have THE ADDON so how can I get “in the container”? I have tried via portainer but to no avail…

i need this because I AGAIN have non-functioning zwave network…
