I just tried to add my new Aeotec Smart Switch 7. It seems it is not yet added to the database. Below you can find the properties. Thanks in advance for any help!
Th Smart Switch 7 is in the database, but your particular device version was not.
I just added it but it may be a couple of weeks before the binding is updated because the developer is away on vacation.
Ok, I got the device linked and recognized with “zwave 2.5 snapshot” but I can’t switch the power state to ON or OFF via OpenHAB. If I toggle the power state on the device I see the following in the log:
2019-11-06 13:35:15.729 [DEBUG] [ding.zwave.handler.ZWaveThingHandler] - NODE 6: Got a value event from Z-Wave network, endpoint=0, command class=COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY, value=0
2019-11-06 13:35:17.727 [DEBUG] [ding.zwave.handler.ZWaveThingHandler] - NODE 6: Got a value event from Z-Wave network, endpoint=0, command class=COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY, value=255
I checked the Zwave binding on github and i cannot find the COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY command in the file. Is it possible that this channel is missing in the binding or am I missing something?
Still very green with the IOT/Openhab things. Thanks already for the help.
What itemtype is linked to the switch_dimmer channel?
Should be something like Switch YourSwitch "Your Switch" { channel="zwave:device:controller:node6:switch_dimmer", autoupdate="false" }
I suspect a problem with the Basic checkmark, either the one on the Switch_Binary command class or the missing one on the Switch_Mulitlevel command class.
But I am not sure …
That channel information usually comes directly from a device through the xml file. I see from aeotec’s site the device appears to support dimming and colour.
Dimmer / Percentage value for dimmers / OnOff, IncreaseDecrease, Percent
You can send ON/OFF to a dimmer item type.
The most important question: does the device work in your setup or not?
Edit: you can’t do that in PaperUI Control, that is an administration tool. You need to setup a switch itemtype to the switch_dimmer channel in one of your sitemaps.
Hi, @Chris did this change (i created a ticket), as the item couldnt have both dimmer and binary in the device database from what i understand?!
i’m pretty sure i had a binary on/off switch on the first version with support for the SS7.
dimming 0 for off, and 100 to on is working - havent tested to dim a light yet.
That is just a warning. As you can send an ON/OFF to a dimmer channel and a switch channel, it does not hurt to have both if a device is able to dim something.
As this device is not able do dim anything (according to the manual), a switch_binary channel is the only thing that makes sense.
I will change this in the database so users don’t get confused.
