Any ZW164 Indoor Siren 6 Updates?

I couldn’t manage to link the usb port to Docker Container on my SYNO-NAS 218+. Therefore I run docker on Rasp 4 (zwave js ui, zigbee2mqtt) as a satellite computer. Main OH is on Syno NAS. There are three usb dongles (at raspi) attached to an external powered usb hub. My ZUI version is latest docker image.

This is the device code of my siren

ZW162
Aeotec Ltd. / Doorbell 6
Firmware Range: All Versions
Product Manufacturer: 0x0371
Product Identifiers: 0x0003:0x00a2, 0x0103:0x00a2, 0x0203:0

so I wonder, why yours is ZW0322

can you change the tamper sound via ZUI? There is a default tamper sound already installed on the siren. So this doesn’t indicate that the communication is proper set

I had the problem getting the z-wave controller to work on the NAS but ended up getting it to work. I assume you’re having the same issue as Synology turned off USB support for v7. Following are two good support pages that may help if you want to try again. (I don’t think this is part of my issues since everything else is working fine.

Also…, ZW0322 is an error code. Described as:

  • Incorrect Data Type: The Z-Wave JS library expects a specific data type (e.g., a number, string, boolean) for a particular command or configuration parameter, but it receives data of a different type.

So it is just a code that looks like the text.

One thing to try is on the ZUI node, advanced tab; re-interview the node. Something isn’t right since this works for other. Also did you include with security? Just trying to figure out the difference

I’ve done extensive testing today. I literally can update every value except toneId. The values for configurations set in OH go all the way to the Siren. I don’t see the default tamper toneid but I set the tamper time and did 2 and 10 seconds and they both work doing a manual tamper on the siren. (what is the name of the tamper sound?) Refreshing the Siren Config brings in the new values in the UI

This is a problem were the “The volume (for the Sound Switch CC)” is causing an error because something (I don’t know if it is z-wave js or the siren) is causing it to fail. I get the same error in the z-wave js logs both via the UI and Openhab.

I’ve started a support ticket with Aeotec.

Well, I got it working. It was, basically, a bug in z-wave-js (or aeotec) in that if you set the "The volume (for the Sound Switch CC)” it screws up the setting. Even if you clear the entry it still fails as it thinks something (a string, maybe blank) is there causing every call to toneID to fail. It must be the only parameter to use it.

I had to reinstall the docker image, tried a test, and the same thing happened again. I’m never touching that setting again (The volume (for the Sound Switch CC)”)

I did try the basic Ding Dong and it is such low volume I can hardly hear it. I tried some of the other “Groups” and they are good so need to learn how to configure it. But that’s the easy part.

Thanks for all your help. .
