Domitech Z-wave ZBULB

Has anyone else got one of these? Mine arrived today and it’s not in the openhab database from what i can see?

/* Domitech ZBULB bulbs */ 
Switch  Light_Landing   "Landing Light" <whites>    (FF_Hall,Lights,MyOpenHAB)   {zwave="37:command=switch_all"}
Dimmer  Light_LandingBrightness   "Landing Brightness" <whites>    (FF_Hall,Lights,MyOpenHAB)       {zwave="37:command=switch_multilevel"}

On and off seem to work, although the z-stick pauses for several seconds when doing so, dimming is hit-and-miss.

Looks like it’s http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/671 / http://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/1543 - I’ll attempt a pull request :smile:

Edit: I’ve got the product name recognised in habmin, but the configuration parameters don’t show up (https://github.com/richbeales/openhab/blob/master/bundles/binding/org.openhab.binding.zwave/database/domitech/domezbulb.xml).

EDIT: They do now - Habmin just took a while.

I’ve changed switch_all to just the basic command class for switching the bulb on and off and this avoids locking the z-stick. (Added bonus of not switching the TV off at the same time - wife not impressed!)

However, I see “Node advancer: retries exceeded at STATIC_VALUES” in the log regularly - any ideas?

Not without seeing a debug log file…

Thanks for the log. The problem is a bug in the newly merged SWITCH_ALL command class. I’ll try and fix that today.

Thanks @chris
P.S. in response to your pull request comment do I need a < br /> tag in the CDATA or will a newline work?

You need to use the HTML BR tag. Basically, the system will display this as HTML, so multiple spaces or new lines will be merged to a single space…

I’ll hopefully post a fix for this error in a few minutes - I’ll post the PR reference here so you can test if you want…

This is now merged into the master branch - let me know if it solves the problem…

I’m not seeing the error now so all looking good cheers

I have a Domitech Z-wave bulb that I paired with my Aeotec Z-stick Gen 5.

Openhab recognises it as some kind of generic bulb on the Z-Wave binding and only assigns it a dimmer channel. With my Wemo Bulbs I get a switch channel as well as a dimmer channel.

Is this by design in the Z-wave binding?

The light with dimmer functionality works 100% reliably so I’m happy with it but it would be nice if it had a switch channel available.

I’m in the market for 4 new bulbs and now I’m torn between more Domitech’s or more Wemo’s. Or maybe some LIFX white’s? hmmm

You only need to have a dimmer - this doesn’t stop you using a switch widget in a sitemap since a dimmer inherits the functionality of a switch.

Yes - multiple channels are not required and just clutter things up.

@chris Thanks for clarifying that, it makes perfect sense to inherit switch functionality.

It’s a nice responsive bulb with a good temperature. Not cheap though at £28 a pop! (I’m just trying to avoid having to buy a hub for each different manufacturer, Eg. Wemo Link, GE Wink, Phillips Hue etc), so a solid Z-wave bulb like the Domitech seems like a reasonable proposition. Pity the LIFX white 800 is so horribly expensive :frowning:
