Including GoControl GD00Z-8-GC

[qhx398 (Andrew)]

HI Everyone,

I’m new to OpenHab, not sure if I’m doing something wrong but hoping someone can shed some light on this issue

I’m trying to include a GoControl GD00Z-8-GC garage door opener. The device has 2 channels, both of which are read only. I tried to update OH to 2.5.11, but I still can’t seem to control the device. I have included the device’s XML file below - is there anything I can try to be able to control this node? Thank you!

Welcome to openHAB!

That is a battery device, wake it up several times until an xml file in your userdata/zwave folder is created.
Then create a Thing and link your Channels to Items.

@qhx398

I have included the device’s XML file below

I don’t know what that is, but it is not an xml …

Please, next time you post some code please use code fences:

Hello, so sorry about that.

The device I’m using isn’t battery powered - link to it: https://www.gocontrol.com/detail.php?productId=4

User manual to it: https://products.z-wavealliance.org/ProductManual/File?folder=&filename=product_documents/3710/10025383%20Rev-B%20-%20GD00Z-8%20GC_WEB.pdf

I’ll try posting the file contents again - to be clear I went to C:\openhab\userdata\zwave

For some reason the code fence isn’t working for me… if its OK I uploaded the file to Google drive for viewing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16xLDhjPlVUlLaEXpbOafLzc_5nbrR7BC/view?usp=sharing

People here are generally hesitant about downloading files like that. Others have been able to post the xml file as an attachment to a post.

[qhx398 (Andrew)]

RIGHT, sorry getting used to everything here. I have uploaded it here direct Thank you in advance for any insights into this!

I tried to update OH to 2.5.11, but I still can’t seem to control the device.

OK that device is in the database but quite new. In fact I think the newest changes have not yet been exported for a binding snapshot. 2.5.11 should have some version of that device though.

After updating to 2.5.11 did you delete & rediscover / re-add the Thing? That is needed to get the new binding settings.

The device is here.

Hi Bruce,

I just tried to delete the Thing and re add in Paper UI, the only two channels I see are: Alarm (burglar) and Alarm (access). They come up as switches but they don’t seem to do anything after linking the channels.

I think I’ll hang tight for the next update, hopefully that version has the latest changes for this device!! I really appreciate your help with this one

[Bruce_Osborne]

Apparently the barrier_state channel was added later. Chris usually tries to export at least once a week.

[qhx398 (Andrew)]

Ah… awesome! Stupid question (sorry very new to all this). If the binding author exports prior to 2.5.12 coming out… would I be able to update the binding only? If so, are there instructions on how to do that for a windows server?

You can update just the binding. For Linux users there is a scrip but basically you uninstall the binding and place the new binding .jar file in the addons folder and openHAB will use that.

Of course you then need to delete & re-add the Thing. It keeps the same ID so no rules or Items are broken.

[qhx398 (Andrew)]

Perfect. Thanks for that info Bruce!
