i have two zwave temperature and humidity sensors successfully connected to me hassio.
This:
The only problem is the update frequency. From the chart it seems the value is update every two hous. This is to much for me.
How I can change this update frequency?
It looks like Heiman HS1HT and if it runs the same firmware it does not support any parameters that would make it report more often and as a sleepy device will not listen to pooling commands.
AFAIK The only way to make it report more often is to change it’s wake up interval. But keep in mind since wake up is more power hungry operation than simple reports it will shorten it’s battery life.
Since there is no way to manually wake up the device after setting the interval it will probably take up to two hours to take effect (if OZW manages to remember to set it).
It should be in seconds. It looks like you are out of luck with this sensor, you can try changing it but if it really was 24h you will decrease the battery life significantly.
I’m considering purchasing this device to monitor the humidity in some rooms. However, I did like to hear if anyone have succeeded in added a ‘humidity’ sensor to Home Assistant (z-Wave) or any other protocol and how it works.
Device which I was considering buying was this ‘’ (link to z-wave.org’s documentation site. LINK
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: Wake up Notification is transmitted every 24 hours by default.-Wake up Notification is transmitted after Notification Report is Transmitted
However, the documentation above, and in the link, talks about a kind of an ‘inbox’ approach where the controller gets a set of readings which the device have logged during the 24 hours sleep period. But my question is, how does the data look like? I’m assuming that it would something similar to a temperature sensor, where you get a graph with highs and lows readings, but did like to hear from you if any of you have one of these devices operational?
Have the same issue with this device on my Zipato system. Seems like the device only send out state when the temp have change with approx 1 degree. When I took it outside it was updating every minute until it had a stable outside temp.
Same same, this thing never updates. Just the first setup, and nada after that. I’m looking for something that does this more frequently, and powered by usb or something for more frequent updates.
