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?
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
@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
