I do have this device, but I don’t have the old device to compare. But mostly my lack of knowledge is blocking me. If someone is willing to take me by the hand I can execute the necessary steps.
That’s how to update the database, but how do I gather the data I need? Where do get which config parameter is what? How do I test this locally? I am really missing the basics. And the URL is helping but not that much.
Fully agree! In fact, I have contacted both the vendor (szneo.com) and the seller from whom I have bought my devices - to get an updated manual. The seller just replied moments ago, providing me with a PDF manual which seems to match-exactly what @miwok has already posted here (which is newer to what I had in the box w/ the device BTW).
Thing is… this new manual is still not a match to the devices I have wrt. their config pameters. And I am not ruling out anything, incl. having buggy FW on those devs, hence my previous Q - if anyone else is observing this exact weird behavior.
As far as wild speculation goes - aside the entries in the table I have marked with question marks, I am pretty confident that my devices are configurable via the parameters indicated by me (and not what the manual says).
Does it extrapolate to other devices with the same FW - no idea.
Would I trust myself with this info and update the DB? no
Did it work on my 4 devices - yes!
So at the moment I can only really say this: I can confirm 4 sightings where the current DB content is not a match to a device, no more, no less.
Hope someone would eventually be able to get something concrete fom the vendor (once the-engineer-who-knows is back at the office ).
EDIT: Here’s a PDF’ed version of the manual that I got. (over 1MB in size, so does not fit as an attachment + I don’t have any immediate location to post it at - the link is valid for 14d; if useful, hope someone can put it somewhere more ‘permanent’)
I have updated the device with the provided manual and edited the database accordingly.
As I don’t have this device I am not able to change parameters outside the scope of the manual, sorry.
According to the manual this parameter cannot be stored on the device, it is executed via factory reset.
I’ve added the meter_reset channel which can be linked to a Switch itemtype to reset the values.
Hi, the device works for me now. With the “including” there were problems at the beginning. The device always appeared as an “unkown device”. It was finally recognized with a new node number, everything works so well. Here is the node.xml: network_ee7b3ad4__node_9.xml (13.9 KB). I’m on the latest z-wave snapshot binding.
I tested it with my device, and I see the new clear kwh channel. However I am still not able to change the configuration values. It seems that there is a real difference between the manual and the real device.
