[SOLVED] Dome motion sensor ALARM_REPORT not processed successfully

[ohtl (Tom Lendacky)]

I have a Dome motion sensor (DMMS1 Dome Z-Wave Plus Motion Detector) that sends an alarm report but does not successfully process the alarm_burglar channel. Here is the debug log view for a motion event and a two-minute motion timeout:

21:13:29.027	4	RX REQ ApplicationCommandHandler ALARM_REPORT V1 UNKNOWN[00] V1LEVEL=0 HOME_SECURITY EVENT=8 0 /128

You can see that the alarm_burglar channel is not handled for the motion detect ALARM_REPORT at 21:13:29, but is handled for the motion end ALARM_REPORT at 21:15:30. Any idea why the motion detect is not setting alarm_burglar to ON?

Thanks,

Which version of OH (and the zwave binding, if different) are you using? Also, it helps a lot to include logs in code fences, and to include a link to the device database entry.

[ohtl (Tom Lendacky)]

I’m using OH 2.4.0-1 with the included zwave binding. The Dome device link is here.

Sorry about the log format, I’ll be sure to use code fences next time.

Thanks,
Tom

Please can you also provide logs as they are logged. It looks like you are filtering the data and processing in some way which makes it hard for me to use.

[ohtl (Tom Lendacky)]

I used your ZWave Log Viewer and filtered on the motion detector node. Do you want the raw log entries or just the ZWave Log Viewer without the filtering?

Thanks,
Tom

@ohtl

I used your ZWave Log Viewer and filtered on the motion detector node.

Ah - ok, I’ve not seen that done like that before (ie pasting in the text).

@ohtl

Do you want the raw log entries

It’s normally best to provide the raw logs - the log viewer shows what is happening at the ZWave level, but the raw logs also show what the binding is doing - both are really needed to understand what is happening…

However, that said, now that I know what this log is, I know what to look for, and I can see that the database does not have the motion channel added for the ALARM command class so I will add that now.

Thank you for the quick response! Once you’ve updated the database, is there an easy way to provide the XML through an override or would I need an updated JAR file?

Thanks,
Tom

In general, it’s easiest to update the JAR. In theory, you can export the XML from the database and update your current JAR, but personally I would not recommend this although @5iver has written a tutorial on this if you prefer -:

Modify a zwave binding jar to add/change a zwave device while waiting for a build

**PLEASE don’t use this without also updating the device database! As a community, we make the most progress when everyone contributes!** I’ve seen several posts where people have made changes to the device database and they were eager to try out their new shiny gizmo, or wanted to test a change/fix an issue, before it was included in a build. Here is a method to update the zwave jar with a modified device Thing definition, without having to use an IDE to modify and compile the jar. This method…

Ok, followed the tutorial and validated that I’m seeing the alarm motion events now. Thank you very much!

I have another issue with a different device, but I’ll start a new topic on that when i get a chance.

Thanks,
