Missing Properties between openhab versions on a zwave item

I’m converting my OLD openhab 2.1 version to the latest release of openhab 2.5
I moved a liner linc bulb over from one system to the other, and I noticed there is ONLY a dimmer channel now instead of “switch” and “dimmer”.

Why is this?

Original 2.1.x channels:

Openhab 2.5.10 channels:

Did you delete the Thing from openHAB and rediscover / re-add to get the updated binding settings? I believe that was needed when moving to 2.4.

Why go with the old 2.5 instead of the latest stable release 3.0?

Why do you need both the switch and dimmer - it is not normal to have both as you can normally do everything with the dimmer. If there’s something special about this device then it might be possible to add it again, bit it’s not the standard way OH does things.

I’d rather have a switch just ON/OFF.
For the dimmer, i don’t really use it; I’d rather leave it at 100 all the time and just toggle on/off via openhab.
Seems i can’t do that anymore

A friend told me he has two channels linked to it; one dimmer one switch and he said his works; i tried that and it results in even funkier behavior…when toggling it OFF, it toggles it back on again on the site map; my guess is as it’s dimming off, it gets an update at a certain dim level and sets it to that

You can use a switch, or a dimmer on this channel - so if you want a switch, just provide a switch.

There is no need to link two channels. You use one channel, and then in the sitemap, if you want a switch, just use a switch.

Yeah tried that; if i use a switch, and i toggle it off, the sitemap toggles back on; the bulb goes off, the toggles stays off for like 1 sec, then toggles back to ON(bulb is still off at this point).
Toggling it off starts the process of it turning off(dimming slowly); my guess is when the switch goes off, the dimming to 0 process starts, then it gets an update to the switch that the dim level is at 20(for example) and turns the switch item back on

That’s strange - it is the same thing - having two channels or one channel. I suspect this is not related to the binding, but possible the auto update.

auto update? When can i check that?

I did set the properties of the bulb to not remember the dim setting; tried turning any property of the bulb off like that…still didn’t help…but friend of mine has his working fine…still digging…

Debug on the binding doesnt reveal anything; the events log shows this when turning it on from the sitemap, then off

It seems hard to believe that there is nothing in the debug log - if that’s really the case then it wouldn’t be switching at all.

Let me get a new log; some idiot may have turned debug off last night and forgot he did that :slight_smile:

I think what i said is happening is happening.
If i set the polling period on the light bulb for 60 seconds, it eventually updates the sitemap.

So what happens is:

  1. Use switch to turn light on - ok
  2. Use sitemap switch to turn light off - starts dimming from 100 to 0
  3. As it’s dimming, the switch toggles back on on the sitemap(my guess b/c the light isn’t entirely off yet)
  4. After a polling period of 60 seconds, the site map updates and the switch is toggled to the off position

I’ll try to look at the logs, but it sounds like you might want to increase the repoll period.

Again - this isn’t any different with one channel or two, so that’s not the source of your issue.

How low do you recommend a polling period ever be set(for a bulb in this case).
How much chatter will be too much?
I have 42 nodes on my network.

I think what I’ll do is code around it.
I’ll make a generic switch item in an items file.
I’ll put that on the site map.
Then I’ll have a rule set the dimmer level to 0 when the OFF command is sent to the switch.

By default it’s 1.5 seconds which is normally enough for most devices, but it can be set up to 15 seconds for slow devices, or disabled all together. The exact value will depend on the device - if 1.5 seconds is too fast, try 2 or 3 seconds (note that the value is set in milliseconds).

Do you mean command polling period, because i was talking about just the polling period which says it’s Seconds in the UI

Yes - the command polling period is the one I’m talking about - the normally polling should be set quite high (normally a couple of hours should be fine).

Thanks! What is the difference between the two? Reason I ask is becuase i have to set the normal one pretty low to get the switch on the site map to update.
