Has anyone else tried using the new Open-ZWave Beta integration with Zooz v4.0 switches?
I switched to the new beta integration because I was about to add 25 switches to my house, and wanted to ensure I didn’t have to re-do everything when the switchover occurred.
The switches I got were still v3.0x, so I reached out to Zooz and got the firmware to upgrade them to the latest version (4.01). When I first installed them with v3.x, everything was fine. I upgraded the firmware on one switch, which was a big headache (ended up with a dead node, etc). But that one seems to work fine.
A week later, I upgraded 2 more to v4, and then the problems started. As soon as you toggle these two switches (should be the same hardware and reports the same firmware), they cause a flood of Value refreshed: Node XX, Instance 1, Label Dimming Duration
and ... Label Target Value
events on the network, which locks it up. I have to shut down Open-ZWave server to get it back to working again.
I’ve already been in discussion with the Zooz team, providing them as much info as I can find. I’ve done factory resets on the switches, added and removed them many times, etc. No matter what, I get that issue.
Right now those switches are off the network. I’ve got the older firmware to try downgrading, but before I do, I figure I should reach out and see if anyone else has any suggestions.
I’ve seen a lot of discussions about similar issues (if not exactly the same), such as these:
- https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/issues/1220
- https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave/pull/1352
These are really old issues, that seem to be related to how Open-ZWave checks for changes in values, but nobody is merging the fix in.
