[SOLVED] Aeon Labs Minimote help

I believe it’s OK that it isn’t completing initialization. Mine never does
but everything still works. Show me what your item line looks like for one
of these buttons.

Here is the 1st button on the remote from my item file.

Switch Rem_A_b1m "Remote A Button 1" (button) {zwave="2:0:command=SCENE_ACTIVATION,scene=1,state=1"}

and here is the test rule I’ve been using

rule "zwave test button 1"
when 
	Rem_A_b1m received update
then 
	sendCommand(Toggle_3, ON)

end

Any thoughts?

Hmm. I compared my zwave logs to yours when I press a button on my remote and everything matches up until the lines that say “Getting converter for item…”. I don’t get any of those.

I am fairly certain that your remote is working correctly with openhab but for whatever reason your rules aren’t working.

I don’t want to hijack your topic, but we are using the same hardware, so maybe you can help me out, and perhaps I can help you at a later moment in time :slightly_smiling:

My Minimote doesn’t seem to get recognized properly (Node 2). I tried resetting both the Z-Stick and the Minimote but nothing worked. Also, no zwave xml is created for this particular remote. My Fibaro dimmer and motion sensor work fine before I resetted everything.

I’m using Openhab 1.7.1 (?)

Thanks for any help!

@Qris, to get mine to pick up the details of the minimote I had to hold the Join/Learn button for 3-4 seconds. Then it displayed that it was a minimote and showed a lot more details. I’ve yet to get mine to create a node xml file for the minimote but I’m not positive that it will because I was just told that it will never complete initialization.
Let me know if you get your minimote firing rules because I’ve been working on this for a month now.

@kyle, thanks. Do you think it’s a binding issue? Do you think I should create a bug? I’m not finding much about ‘Getting converter for item’. And I’ve noticed that in log before and searched on it in the past.

Thnx DMize,

First off, sorry for replying this late. I’m in building a new home, hence the use of domotics :wink:

Pressing the Learn button for a couple of seconds did the job on identifying the Minimote, at least to some extend. It shows up in my Devices tab but I can only see a couple of parameters (no parameter 250). I cannot change the settings.

In my terminal it says this when I press the learn button:

2016-02-06 11:35:19.309 [WARN ] [.o.b.z.i.p.c.ZWaveCommandClass] - NODE 3: Unsupported command class ASSOCIATION_COMMAND_CONFIGURATION
2016-02-06 11:35:19.346 [WARN ] [b.z.i.p.s.SendDataMessageClass] - NODE 3: Already processed another send data request for this callback Id, ignoring.
2016-02-06 11:35:24.313 [ERROR] [WaveController$ZWaveSendThread] - NODE 3: Timeout while sending message. Requeueing - 1 attempts left!

No problem, I’m still working on my issue too so I’m hoping that if we get yours working something will click with mine. I’ve now tried this zwave stick and minimote on three machines (1 Linux bare metal, 1 Linux vm, and 1 windows bare metal) and it has yet to work. I keep getting logs that have “Getting converter for item…” in them which I’m not seeing much info about.

For you to get the parameter 250 you need to update your zwave binding. You might as well grab the latest from the stable release or even the latest nightly build. https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB1-Addons/

Once that is loaded you should be able to see the parameter 250. Let me know how it goes.

Hi Dan,

So I updated the Z-Wave binding to 1.8.0. Still no luck getting all the parameters to show up. Only 241 till 248 are visible. The Minimote also doesn’t show any neighbours. Strange…

I’ll try to remove and re-add the Minimote once more… If I could only get the thing to work, then I can hopefully help you with the rules. I’m also planning on using those, so I’ll do my very best :slightly_smiling:

In habmin on the left where it shows the binding names does it show you what version of the binding you have? I don’t see a spot where it shows the version number for habmin2. Maybe you have to copies of the binding and it’s using the wrong one? Updating my binding to 1.8.0 is what gave me the parameter 250. I don’t think the minimote will have neighbors because it’s not always listening so nothing will get routed through it other than the button presses from the remote itself.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

All,

I have my minimote working just fine (I’m using the 1.8 zwave binding, but it worked with the 1.7.1 as well).

You need to know that you will NEVER get it to show any parameters, or create a node.xml file in habmin - but as it’s a send only device - that doesn’t matter.

When you press any of the action buttons, an event will be generated in the Zwave binding, that you can trap in openhab and use. The question is - what are you trying to do?

My advice is, GIVE UP on trying to get the minimote to show parameters or create a node.xml file or even register in habim as anything other than nodeX. You don’t need this for anything. Focus on capturing the events.

The minimote has two modes of operation, dimmer mode (as shipped) and scene mode. I have mine in scene mode (so I get eight scenes that I can switch on and off). I put the minimote in scene mode using 3rd party tools (openzwave I think - google it) - you can’t do this in openhab, habmin, habmin2 or anything, you need a 3rd party tool to do it, and it can be difficult. I think I had to edit the openzwave database as they had the parameters for dimmer or scene mode reversed (ie it shows as scene mode by default, but it isn’t).

So you can use the minimote as a dimmer as is. If you have the items file configured correctly. If you can get it into scene mode (by hook or crook), then you can configure the items file as below, to trigger scene events:

Switch Minimote1 "Minimote Scene 1 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation, scene=1, state=1"}

and so on up to eight.

Then in rules I have

rule "Minimote 1 received update ON"
when
    Item Minimote1 received update ON
then
    //do whatever
end

That’s how I use my minimote, (I have eight rules, eight items) nothing registered in habmin at all (beyond “Node 17”).

I’m not sure how you would use it in dimmer mode, but it has to be similar. look at the zwave binding log and see what events are generated when you press an action button (multilevel switch? basic?) then trap that event in the items file, and use a rule to trigger an action. It doesn’t matter about all the error messages (“not completed initialization”, “device is asleep” etc. etc)., if you can see events triggered when pressing a button, you can capture them.

best of luck!

I have my minimote in scene mode I used open zwave control panel to do that, but I still cannot get the rules to fire.

Here is what I have in my item file.
Switch Rem_A_b1m "Remote A Button 1 [%d]" {zwave="3:command=scene_activation,scene=1,state=1"}

Here is my rule.
rule "zwave test button 1"
when
Item Rem_A_b1m received update ON
then
sendCommand(Toggle_3,ON)
logDebug(“RULES”, “zwave button”)
end

and when I push the button here is what I get in the log but the Toggle_3 is never switched to ON.

Does anyone no if the ‘Transaction not completed: node address inconsistent’ is normal?

Dan,

Yes the ‘Transaction not completed: node address inconsistent’ is a normal message, you can ignore it.

This is what I get in the zwave log when I press button 1:

2016-02-08 10:38:27.169 [DEBUG] [ApplicationCommandMessageClass:38  ]- NODE 17: Application Command Request (ALIVE:PING)

if I press button 4 (short press)

this is filtered on "NODE 17"
unfiltered it looks like:

(button 1 again)

in the openhab log I get:

10:46:13.172 [DEBUG] [m.r.internal.engine.RuleEngine:305  ] - Executing rule 'Minimote Scene 1'
10:46:13.173 [INFO ] [.openhab.model.script.Minimote:53   ] - Minimote Scene 1 Activation Received
10:46:13.173 [INFO ] [.openhab.model.script.Minimote:53   ] - ALL LEDs ON - turning them OFF

(button 1 again) - this turns my outside LED lights on and off (toggle).

This is my items entries:

/* Minimote configuration */
Group Minimote "Minimote Remote Control" <remote> (All)

Switch  Minimote1 "Minimote Scene 1 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=1,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote2 "Minimote Scene 2 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=2,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote3 "Minimote Scene 3 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=3,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote4 "Minimote Scene 4 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=4,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote5 "Minimote Scene 5 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=5,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote6 "Minimote Scene 6 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=6,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote7 "Minimote Scene 7 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=7,state=1"}
Switch  Minimote8 "Minimote Scene 8 [%d]" (Minimote) {zwave="17:command=scene_activation,scene=8,state=1"}

and this is my rule for Minimote1:

rule "Minimote Scene 1"
when
	Item Minimote1 received update ON
then
    logInfo("Minimote", "Minimote Scene 1 Activation Received")
    //This now (button 1) turns ALL LEDs on and off - short press on - short press OFF
    
    if(RGBSAll_pi.state == ON) {
      logInfo("Minimote", "ALL LEDs ON - turning them OFF")
      sendCommand(RGBSAll_pi,OFF)
      }
    else {
      logInfo("Minimote", "All LEDs OFF - turning them ON")
      sendCommand(RGBSAll_pi,ON)
    }
end

You look to have everything correct, you must be close …

This is using openhab zwave binding 1.8 (but as I say it has worked with previous bindings - 1.71).

What does your openhab log say? it may be as simple as a bug in another rule preventing your rule from executing properly. It looks like you have a separate file set up for rule debugging, maybe just pare it back to a basic logInfo message, see if you can see that in the regular openhab.log file.

Nick

@DMize

Are you able to launch this particular rule via the webinterface? Might be something wrong with the rule itself. The log says “Scene Activation set, scene activated from node 3”. That sounds about right.

I’m starting to wonder whether my remote works properly. I haven’t seen any feedback in the log files when I press any of the 4 buttons on the Minimote. After a bit of Googling I managed to get OpenZwave Control Panel up and running. However, I can’t find any setting that let’s me change the remote from normal to scene mode. Also, the log file doesn’t show any info coming from the remote (when a button is pressed). Can anyone compare my settings to theirs? Would be great…

@Nicholas_Waterton, I cannot thank you enough. I finally have my minimote operating correctly. I’m not sure exactly what the problem was but I used your exact item layout and your rule then modified to my needs. I also removed all other rules and turned on debugging since I wasn’t seeing much about the rule processing in the openhab log. It is now working, I’ve turned back on all the other rules and I’ve been testing for over an hour with no issues.

Thank you so much for your last post! It’s worth a beer or two if you’d like to collect.

@Qris, in your second screenshot there should be another option. Do you know what firmware your minimote is on? It needs to be on one of the latest in order to see this option and the most current is 1.19, which is what I’m using.

Once you update the firmware start the ozwcp again and click on ‘Configuration’ and you should see something to the effect of a mode. There you need to select ‘Scene Mode’. It will seem like it doesn’t do anything but it does. If you refresh it will go back to the default because the system doesn’t actually get the setting from the minimote.

Here’s how you can tell which mode the minimote is in using the minimote.
When pressing and holding any scene button:

Red + Blue LED light up and disappear (red LED may blink a little bit before no activity) = Scene Mode (Parameter 250 [1 byte] = 1)

Red + Blue LED light up, and then starts blinking the Blue LED rapidly = Group Mode (Parameter 250 [1 byte] = 0)

Once you get it in scene mode you should be good to go and if you have any trouble check post 23 above.

Let me know how you progress and I’ll try to help as much as I can.

Not sure what the procedure is for resolved topics here but I’m wondering if maybe you or @Nicholas_Waterton could help me out with my issue. I have a minimote and Gen5 stick, and I’ve tried to follow what you guys have said worked, but I might be stuck somewhere above where you started this thread. I am able to get the minimote to show up in habmin as a node and with parameter 250 showing up, but whenever I press a scene button on it, nothing seems to happen in the logs. The red and blue light flash once on the remote at the same time, and if I hold one, the red light will turn off and the blue light will flash quickly until I let it go. Is this what is supposed to happen on the remote, or could I possibly have a bad one? Is there a special way to include the minimote besides pressing the button on the z-stick then pressing the learn button on the minimote? Should they show up as neighbors in habmin? because they aren’t for me. These are the only 2 Z-wave devices I have. using openhab 1.8 and minimote firmware 1.19

Edit: just read the response from the remote so I guess my remote is actually in group mode so I’ll probably need to change that first

Having parameter 250 show up in habmin means nothing. You cannot use habmin to configure a minimote.

You have to use openzwave or some other configuration utility (not habmin or habmin2), to set parameter 250 to “scene” mode. After that, it will work. You can’t skip this step. You can’t do it in habmin.

Try openzwave, see if you can configure it there. They don’t come set for scene mode, you have to configure it.

I just had to go through this all again (my Z-Wave controller got wiped – don’t ask).

This is how you get the minimote into scene mode. Default is “Group” mode.

Get hold of openzwave, and open-zwave-control panel. You may have to install and complie from source.

Make sure your minimote is included on your z-wave controller (in my case a Z-Stick Gen 5)

Run ozwcp –p 9900 (or another port).
Open a browser, and point to the ip you are running ozwcp on, port 9900 (ie http://ip:port)

Enter the device name of your zwave controller (eg /dev/ttyACM0), and press “initialize”

Your devices should show up in the list now. Wait until all the properties are filled in, waking up you minimote periodically until it’s configuration shows. This can take a while.

Select “configuration”. You should see the current “mode” as “group”. If you don’t see anything, the configuration download hasn’t finished, and you need to keep waking up your minimote until it does.

When you see the configuration mode show up, select “Scene” and wake your minimote up again.

This is the bit that confuses people, when the mimimote is reconfigured, the “mode” switches back to “group” as if it didn’t do anything. But it did!

Now exit openzwave, go back to openHAB (start-up, wait, wait, wait…), and you should be able to see responses from your minimote in the zwave debug log when you press one of the 4 buttons.

Hope this helps.

Not sure what the procedure is for resolved topics here but I’m wondering if maybe you or @Nicholas_Watertonhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.openhab.org_users_nicholas-5Fwaterton&d=CwMCaQ&c=IV_clAzoPDE253xZdHuilRgztyh_RiV3wUrLrDQYWSI&r=U_-uBTyQDj4ifd00J7nSYtwgRmrVu_2vacy9QbRAMDQ&m=NU-UatEINokpUw6uyRcnEvGrDovE2XKUX815N1g3k48&s=Dt_kMLqMssLTFsL28VfmQW61-Su74uhMh_FFkTCbhIQ&e= could help me out with my issue. I have a minimote and Gen5 stick, and I’ve tried to follow what you guys have said worked, but I might be stuck somewhere above where you started this thread. I am able to get the minimote to show up in habmin as a node and with parameter 250 showing up, but whenever I press a scene button on it, nothing seems to happen in the logs. The red and blue light flash once on the remote at the same time, and if I hold one, the red light will turn off and the blue light will flash quickly until I let it go. Is this what is supposed to happen on the remote, or could I possibly have a bad one? Is there a special way to include the minimote besides pressing the button on the z-stick then pressing the learn button on the minimote? Should they show up as neighbors in habmin? because they aren’t for me. These are the only 2 Z-wave devices I have. using openhab 1.8 and minimote firmware 1.19

@dakoellis, Nick’s last post pretty much sums it up. I was getting hung up on things that don’t matter.

Yeah I’ll go through it later. I guess I thought I was in scene mode for a couple of reasons. First, a post on another site said that the newest firmware will set your minimote in scene mode by default, and that coupled with the post here that had the minimote info except for the 250 param made me think that since I had the 250 param in my list that I was in scene mode.
