Aeon ZW100-A multisensor, no luminance and ultraviolet values

Add-ons Bindings
1

I’ve just configured an Aeon ZW100-A multisensor in OpenHAB. I’ve built the z wave binding from the latest source code and most of the values are correctly displayed in OpenHAB, except luminance and ultraviolet values. I’ve enabled the debug log and found the following lines:

And this is the binding configuration:

Number NUM_ZWAVE_Luminance  "Helligkeit [%.1f Lux]" (G_Cellar) {zwave="2:command=sensor_multilevel,sensor_type=3" }
Number NUM_ZWAVE_Ultraviolet "UV [%s %%]" (G_Cellar) { zwave="2:command=sensor_multilevel,sensor_type=27" }

I also found the following error when I try to reset to default factory settings using Habmin:

I’ve uploaded the node.xml to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/YWQMPFmV
How can I solve these problems?

I did not manage to get an IR - reading on both my sensors.
Luminance works fine:

{ zwave="23:command=SENSOR_MULTILEVEL,sensor_type=3" }
3

I now put the sensor outside and then I got a high luminance reading. (about 800 lux) But indoors the reading is very low (less than 10 lux) and the value requires a lot of time to refresh. Is this normal?

4

@TheNetStriker I think it has a minimum of 240 seconds.

5

The Report-Time is available for configuration.
Have a look in the habmin configuration.

6

I’ve set the report time to 241, luminance seams to read now. I’m getting values from 50 to 200 indoors. But ultraviolet is always zero. Is this maybe a bug in the binding?

7

I have set the Report Time to 60 secs and I don’t get any reading eather.
Be aware that if you use the device in battery mode you can only specify report times which are multiple times the wake up value.

8

I am now powering the sensor by usb. The device works a lot better this way. In battery mode I wasn’t able to set configuration values. Even after multiple hours the values had still the status “update pending”. But I’am still only getting 0 ultaviolet values. Also the device now still appears as “battery powered” in Habmin. Is this normal?

9

This was because of the long default wakeup time.
Configuration can only be saved when the device wakes up.
IR does not work. Believe me!

10

Was there any news on why the UV reading doesn’t work? Is it a problem with the binding or the sensor?

11

I was planning to buy a ZW100 to use with Z-Stick gen5 - ZW090.

I need motion sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and lighting sensor.

Does that function in OpenHAB?

12

They all work. My sensor fires instantly on motion and gives periodic reports for temperature, humidity and lighting. Although the light sensor has been slightly disappointing for me.

13

Why are you disappointed with the light sensor?

14

With a 60W equivalent LED bulb the sensor reports 0 lux so I’m able to use it for the purpose I had in mind (to work out if the light is on, and to calculate brightness setting required for the bulb).

15

I just moved a multisensor of mine outside, and for the first time, I observed a UV value reading other than 0, actually just off-by-one with what the weather forecast is predicting. Note many windows filter UV.

16

My Multisensor is also outside in direct sunlight and the UV value is always zero.

17

are you sure you’ve enabled it to report UV ?

18

I´ve set the parameter 101 to 241 and assigned the group 1 to my Z-Stick. Did I miss anything?

19

Parameters 45 (UV reporting threshold) and 111 (reporting interval) maybe ?

20

Parameter 45 is set to 2 and 111 is set to 300.
