Error messages with Z-wave nodes

Add-ons Bindings

I have 5 GWPN6 devices and 4 FGWP101 devices and they all produces these error messages in the openhab.log file.

Saw the same issue for another device here

Chris, is this a polling issue as well?

Everything is working with the devices. I get the power, energy updates and I can switch them on/off.

I should add that all the GWPN6 units are slow flashing green which I think they did with OH1 if they lost communication with the controller. But as I said earlier, everything appears to be working otherwise…

It’s impossible to say from the log - all that we can say is that there are timeouts - something isn’t responding. This will happen from time to time - it’s the nature of wireless communications. However, the big question is if this is a systematic issue - ie - every time you do a certain thing, you get timeouts. If so, we need to deal with it… If it’s just ‘random’, then it means that the link isn’t so good and there’s probably nothing we can do in the binding to resolve this.

In order to answer that question, we need to look at the debug log to find out what is being sent. We also need to see if it’s the same thing every time there’s a timeout… If you can get that info I’ll take a look…

I’m apparently not allowed to upload a log file. Is posting it directly as text in the forum the only way? With DEBUG it quickly gets BIG.

It happens exactly every 30 min so there is nothing random about it.

You can simply zip your log-file and then rename it to something which is allowed to be uploaded here, for example

Log.zip.xml

Of course. Thx

openhab.zip.xml (275.9 KB)

Is this enough Chris?
