For current and future owners of this device;
Zwave wave devices are generally identified by the TYPE:ID pair (also infrequently the firmware version). Some manufacturers change the TYPE:ID numbers as the device is changed (FW or other change) or simply to identify the year it is made.
This device is in the DB (on 4-1-2024) with the following TYPE:ID’s (0201:0301,0201:0401,0201:0601). These can be found for an unidentified device in the userdata/zwave folder (or var/lib/openhab/zwave with most OH installations) in an XML file (like network_d2818a75__node_3.xml
). The other thing to notice is the last approval date at the bottom of the linked ZW DB “Overview” tab. Zwave devices are only added prospectively, not retroactively to OH. In this case the last update was Jan 11, 2024 and it was the last TYPE:ID (0201:0601). This was after the OH4.1 release and not included in the OH4.1.x releases.
So with that background when confronting an unknown device
- Check your device TYPE:ID in you local XML
- Check if that pair in included in the ZW DB (also (in the general “unknown” case) check the ZW DB for your device)
- Assess the last update date-time relative to your OH version
- Options
a) If local TYPE:ID not in DB, it will need to be added (see ZW DB Blog)
b) If local is in the DB; Options
i) Upgrade OH as necessary (snapshot, milestone, etc.)
ii) If on the last release try to update to the latest zwave binding snapshot from here (see docs)
iii) If that doesn’t work or if on old OH version follow the procedure here (OH3+) or here (OH2) to update your binding.
