Yeah, I tried it but it didnt output any “blocks”. Dont know why, maybe to little information.
Did some more research. This is what z-wave log viewer translates the signal given from my node 24 which is the number now after exclusion/inclusion (before it was node 3).
So this is what is sent when dusk sensor triggers S1
And this is my configuration for Node 24:
And here is my network map:
And yes, the distance between the malfunctioning Node24 and the controller is about 8 meters with some walls in between. Is there no mesh magic happening in lifeline association ? That is, does it have to have direct contact with controller ?
EDIT: Moved my controller around in house, no change in behaviour. Still, all (see below) FGS211 does not seem to report their status.
Playing around. Let’s say I have 4 FGS211 1x3kw Fibaro units. None of them seem to be reporting status back to controller.
They all seem to report in the way described above when toggling manually on physical switch. Even though they have their lifeline set to Controller.
Then everything works as it is supposed to, or am i missing something?
Your network map shows node 24 already communicating in mesh to both the controller and node 23 (at the least. by selecting it you could see ticker lines to the nodes that it commmunicates with. that is mirrored also in the habmin>config>items>node24>attributes>neighbours voice) so there should be no real communication issues, which is confirmed by your previous statement as well.
Before talking about other devices:
What isn’t happeneing that you are expecting to happen in regards to this device?
Is there a ruule not being triggered? if the switch item linked to the switch channel changes istantaneously with the physical change, everything should be working just fine… no?
Thankyou for your time!
The problem is that is not updating the state of its item (or any of the items linked to my FGS211 devices) :
Switch SW_GARAGE_SKYMNING_1 "Switch1 Skymning" <garage_detached> (Switches) { channel="zwave:device:XXXXXXX:node3:switch_binary1" }
It catches the state update first when polling, every half hour or so (dont know where that is set either for that sake).
It is not reporting it’s state back to openhab. Should be association/lifeline issue…this only applies to my FGS211 devices 4 or 5 in total. Every other device in my zwave network is reporting its status instantaneously.
Lifeline is set and re-set numerous times. HEAL is done on every single device multiple times, whole network heal is done. Controller is moved around the house and so on…
Atm i’m not in the condition to check any of my items definitions for any fibaro switch, but if i am not mistaken, fibaro switches have 3 switch channels- switch, switch1 and switch2.
Again, if i am not mistaken (going on some kind of memory of mine here) the “Switch” channel is the one that you want to have linked to your switch item, not Switch1.
For simplicity’s sake, I would suggest deleting the textual items that aren’t working, going into paperUI, and from within your things panel, connecting each of the switch channels to a new automatically created item(you can always remove them and it’s much quicker than writing an items file). then change physically the status of your device a few times and see if any of the above respond as intended.
I’m thinking your issue isn’t with Z-wave but with Items and link to channels.
Once you sort out one of them, you just need to rinse and repeat with the other fgs 211, 213 etc
With the possibility that I’m wrong. These devices FGS211 do only have 2 channels. Switch1 and Switch2. At least, there is nothing else to choose from in PaperUI for this “thing”. FGS221 do have 3 channels, Switch, Switch1 and Switch2. But this is FGS211. A 1x3kW relay.
And fact is, the state of “Switch 1” get’s updated to “On” when polled after a while when the S1 has been triggered.
So. Sort of back to square one, they are not being updated automatically.
a quick search on the forum returned this
I am not sure about whether the author of that thread solved his issue (maybe try contacting him).
It is possible that the fgs 211 might not be fully implemented as of yet, in which case i would suggest contacting Chris Jackson (the developer of the binding himself)
it is also possible that there are some steps that i dont’ know about.
I do not own an fgs211, but an nuber of 212, which have the 3 switch channels i described and work well with the Switch channel…
That thread is spot on my problem.
Will go ahead and check it out and maybe talk to them. Thankyou!
