I just purchased a second TKB TZ67 Wall Plug Dimmer. The first I have had for years and works without problem:
manufacturerId 0118
manufacturerRef 0003:0008,0202:0611
modelId TZ67
vendor TKB Home
zwave_deviceid 1553
zwave_devicetype 514
When adding the new one (on 2.5.0 M3), it gets given the name “Z-Wave Node 042 (FFFF:0003:0008:2.48)”
|zwave_class_basic|BASIC_TYPE_ROUTING_SLAVE|
|zwave_class_generic|GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL|
|zwave_class_specific|SPECIFIC_TYPE_POWER_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL|
|zwave_deviceid|8|
|zwave_devicetype|3|
…
|zwave_manufacturer|65535|
…
|zwave_version|2.48|
Clearly something has got messed as the manufacturer won’t be FFFF, so I’m not sure what to do now. I did try removing and adding again.
I attach the xml in case it is useful.
network_d4caef93__node_42.xml (7.7 KB)
That manufacturer id usually indicates a device mot properly / fully discovered.
You could try restarting either the binding or OpenHAB.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Alas, after giving it time and restarts I still get the following in the general log:
NODE 42: Device discovery could not resolve to a thingType! FFFF:0003:0008::2.48
The following is a zwave debug log after re-adding the device. Now NODE 43.
ZWave.log
Does this look like they are otherwise communicating correctly? I’ve been studying it with the online log viewer, but nothing stands out.
Any other suggestions gratefully received.

I have a feeling that we’ve seen this in the past where the device doesn’t return the manufacturer ID. All 3 of these values are returned together (ie the FFFF:0003:0008
) so it means that the communication is likely ok.

Unfortunately it looks like these devices are faulty -:
HI, I have several TKB TZ67E dimmers already recognised and working fine in Openhab (2.5.0.M1). I recently bought 3 new dimmers and Openhab is saying they are unrecognised. Habmin shows:
Manufacturer: “Not Defined”
Type/ID: 0003:0008
Firmware Version: 2.48.
The only difference between this non-working one and the working one is that the manufacturer is not being reported by the device. I contacted Vesternet who sent me the following response. I apologise for copying and pasting all of it, b…
Hi Sihui, the device is a TKB-TZ55D wall switch. Its wired, so doesnt need to be woken up etc…
However, on joining the network, it comes up as an unknown device:
"Unknown Device Z-Wave Node X (FFFF:0003:0004…).
The “FFFF” seems to be an invalid manufacturer ID being returned. I believe it should be 0118.
Above, someone suggested that the device was faulty if a manufacturer ID of FFFF was being reported? I have two and both of them report as FFFF.
As regards adding to the database, I origin…

Thanks for the pointers Chris.
I think I won’t buy any more TKB products.

Avoid Neo Coolcam too.
The devices are a mixed bag but I am having a real difficult time getting a sensor replaced under warranty “at no charge” without paying to ship it to China.
