So I have the dreaded GE Zw300x series (it’s the 4, not the 5) e.g. zw3004.
I see that the zw3003 is in the DB - but OH2 won’t even attempt to use the db entry for 3003. Can I manually add it some how? I looked up how to view the database, and started (DUMB) by just trying to copy the XML from the export > OH2 functionality and creating a node5.xml - that obviously wasn’t a great idea, but I’m not sure what to do at this point.
Even if it’s not ideal currently I hope to use it in the future (it’s been here too long to send back to amazon!)
The database uses the device type/id to work out what your device is, so we need to either add a new entry for this device (if it’s not exactly the same as the zw3003). If it is the same (and for example the 3 on the end is some sort of model variant to differentiate region or color or something) then we just need to add the device type/id for your device into the database. This is simple - I can do it if you tell me your devices ID (it’s shown in the attributes section of the thing in HABmin).
Good stuff! I actually did further reading and this stinking thing requires a “compatible” GE “addon” Zwave switch for the three way installation I was doing. They’ll get yah every time!
I’m going to look for some that are already in your database, but this is good information going forward. I didn’t realize it was centrally managed as such - which is great.
I get

This normally indicates that the initialisation isn’t completed. Given this is a battery device, it might be as simple as the device needs to be woken up a few times so that OH can read the information from the device (these parameters are some of the first that we read).
