So I’ve had a fibaro binary sensor working very well for about two years - first on OH1.8 and now on the 2.2 snapshot.
I bought another as part of a new project - and after several hours of fiddling I just can’t get it to work.
I used habmin to associate the input groups with the openhab controller and, sure enough, I get nice zwave logs whenever I trigger an input. But this isn’t reflected in my defined items - the events log shows that the items have been linked to the device, but the items never change.
I’m beginning to think I must be doing something stupid, but I can’t work out what.
The device is only sending the BASIC_SET on the root. Maybe the old version also used he BASIC command class (??), but my guess here is that this is another instance of the multi-channel command class issue as more devices are starting to use this.
It’s something I’m working on (we’ll, not in the past week as I was away). Can you supply the XML for this new device (I’m guessing it has newer firmware than the other one(s) you have?
Until you’ve had a chance to get to this, I reckon I should be able to workaround the problem by using tail/awk to monitor the logfiles and trip an openhab switch when the device sends the BASIC_SET command. Will post that on this thread when I’ve got it working, on the offchance anyone else has the same problem.
Ok, thanks. Can you try deleting the XML for this device, reinitialise, and send me the log of the init? I think that by setting the multi-channel lifeline association it should enable multi-channel messages - I’d like to see if that is being set or not…
Sadly looking at the logs I don’t think I can do anything clever with an awk script, because the logs look exactly the same when I trigger input 1 as when I trigger input 2.
The log doesn’t show any initialisation. The device is showing as failed by the controller, so it hasn’t yet initialised it (hence there’s no change in function). Probably waking up the device will sort this and allow it to initialise (I plan to change this logic in the near future).
